FOIA Request to Moline Police Department regarding active employee roster on November 13, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Moline Police Department on November 13, 2025. The request, sent by Rock Island Today, seeks access to various records related to the department's current employees. Specifically, the media organization is requesting any roster, directory, staffing list, payroll record, or personnel summary that identifies all current police department employees.
The requested information includes details such as each employee's name, job title or rank, sex or gender (if available in existing records), date of hire or appointment, and age or year of birth (only if included in public-facing records). If multiple versions of these rosters exist—such as HR rosters, payroll rosters, sworn-officer rosters, and civilian-staff rosters—the most recent version of each is requested.
Rock Island Today emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to the public and underscores the importance of access to public records for holding institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. As a media professional involved in disseminating information to the public, Rock Island Today has requested a fee waiver for this FOIA request.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
