FOIA Request to Wyandot County Sheriff's Office regarding new recruits application form on July 29, 2025.

The Findlay Times has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Wyandot County Sheriff's Office in Ohio. The request seeks access to a PDF copy of the application form used for recruits and applicants under the Ohio Open Records Law, §149.43 et seq. The media organization prefers to receive this information in an electronic format.

The request was made by a representative from Findlay Times, who emphasized the importance of access to public records for fulfilling their role in gathering and reporting news. The representative also mentioned that as a member of the media, they are eligible for a fee waiver due to their professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.

Additionally, it was noted that the requestor 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. More information about this coalition can be found on their website at https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
