FOIA Request to Rock Island Police Department regarding active employee roster on November 13, 2025.
A request for public records was submitted to the Rock Island Police Department by a news reporter from Rock Island Today. The request, made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140), seeks access to records that identify all current employees of the police department. The requested information includes any roster, directory, staffing list, payroll record, or personnel summary that contains details such as the name, job title or rank, sex or gender (if available), date of hire or appointment, and age or year of birth (if included in existing public-facing records) for each employee.
The request specifies a preference for receiving this information in electronic format. Additionally, if multiple versions of such rosters exist—such as HR rosters, payroll rosters, sworn-officer rosters, and civilian-staff rosters—the most recent version of each is requested.
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.
