FOIA Request to Delta County Sheriff’s Office regarding the number of job applications and tracking on August 14, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Delta County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado by Centennial State News. The request seeks access to specific records under the Colorado Open Records Act § 24-72-201 et seq., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The requested records include two main items: first, the number of job applications received by the office, categorized by week, month, or year; second, details about the department or individual responsible for tracking these application numbers. This information is sought to ensure transparency and accountability within public institutions.
As part of their professional responsibilities, members of Centennial State News aim to provide comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs. They have requested a fee waiver for this FOIA request due to their role as media professionals disseminating information to the public.
Additionally, it is noted that the requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
