FOIA Request to Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department regarding the number of job applications and tracking on August 14, 2025.
A request for information has been made to the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department under the Wisconsin Open Records Law. The request, sent by EC Wisconsin News, seeks details on two specific areas: the number of job applications received by the department over various time frames (weekly, monthly, or yearly) and the identification of the department or individual responsible for tracking these application numbers.
The request emphasizes the importance of access to public records for media professionals in fulfilling their roles of holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. The requester has also sought a fee waiver, citing their role as a member of the media.
Additionally, it is noted that the requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More information about this organization can be found on their website here.
We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
