Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a state law that provides citizens with access to public records.  Each City department is a separate agency responsible for maintaining its own records, so requests should be submitted to the department that maintains the records you want.

The Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability maintains the following categories of records:

  • Commission and District Council Meeting Minutes
  • All contracts executed by the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability
  • Department personnel files, reports and payroll records
  • Records relating to nomination and goal setting for Public Safety Department Heads

Please note: In certain instances, records listed on this page may not be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act due to an exemption under the law.
