On August 14, 2025, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado. The request seeks detailed records under the Colorado Open Records Act § 24-72-201 et seq., specifically focusing on the number of job applications received by the office.
