Here is a FOIA seeking missing data we filed on April 7, 2020. This request is being filed because of an oversight where we somehow missed covering from Oct 1 – Dec 31, 2018 with the series of other FOIA request we have filed with OEMC.
This request for missing data is part of a series of FOIA requests and a lawsuit over FOIA violation by OEMC. Our police call for service data, which is what this request is seeking, data warehouse is currently being built. When complete it is going to store data from 1999-2019. Ideally this data will be replenished every month.
Here is the content of our FOIA:
In accordance with the Illinois Freedom of Information Act please provide the following records:
A. All call for police service data for the time frame of 10/1/18 – 12/31/18. Please make sure to include all data fields listed in the attached document including the following:

For the fields of LocHouseNumber & CallerLocHouseNumber please reduce the addresses to the hundred block – so a address of 2004 w Roscoe would be reduced to 2000 W. Roscoe.
Please contact us about fulfilling this FOIA or with any questions you might have by responding to this email.

We will be posting any responses we get from OEMC related to our request to access the missing data. This request may very well be part of lawsuit CJP is planning on filing related to police response data that OEMC maintains but will not turn over to the public. This data would allow the public to understand if the CPD is indeed responding in the required times to violent crime.
