FOIA Request to Wyandot County Sheriff's Office regarding number of applications and tracking on August 14, 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 records under the Ohio Open Records Law, §149.43 et seq., specifically asking for data related to job applications received by the office. The information requested includes the number of job applications received on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. Additionally, the request seeks to identify the department or individual responsible for tracking these application numbers.

The request was made with an emphasis on obtaining this information in electronic format, facilitating easier access and analysis. As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in local governmental affairs, Findlay Times has also requested a fee waiver typically granted to media professionals.

The FOIA request highlights that it is supported by The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and public advocacy groups in investigating government agencies through the use of Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More details about this coalition can be found on their website: https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
