Re: FOIA #06221756 Extension
The Illinois State Police (ISP) acknowledges receipt of your attached Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. A response to your request is due March 18, 2024. However, additional time is needed to respond to your request. In accordance with Section 3(e) of FOIA (5 ILCS 140/3(e)), ISP is extending the response due date for an additional five business days for the following reasons:
The requested records are stored in whole or in part at another location.
The request requires the collection of a substantial number of records.
The request is stated in categorical terms and requires an extensive search for the records requested.
X The requested records have not yet been located and additional time is needed to complete the search.
X The requested records require examination and evaluation to determine if the documents are exempt from disclosure and/or must be redacted.
X The requested records cannot be provided within the prescribed time frame without causing an undue burden or interfering with the operation of ISP.
Consultation is needed with another public body in order to respond to the request.
ISP handles requests for video records separately. Depending on the records you requested, you may receive additional correspondence for either video or paper and audio records.

RE: FOIA Request #06221756 Response
Thank you for writing the Illinois State Police (ISP) with your request for information pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 ILCS 140/1, et seq. ISP acknowledges receipt of your attached FOIA request dated March 11, 2024.
ISP is unable to provide any records without disproportionately burdening our operations. Continuing to search for, compile, and redact records in response to this request would be unduly burdensome, pursuant to Section 3(g) of FOIA. The time required for this request would result in delays for other FOIA requests.
ISP is extending you the opportunity to narrow the scope and reduce your request to manageable proportions.
You have the right to review by the Public Access Counselor (PAC) in the Office of the Attorney General (5 ILCS 140/9.5(a)). You may reach the PAC at:
500 S. 2nd Street
Springfield, Illinois 62701
(877) 299-3642
public.access@ilag.gov
You also have the right to judicial review under 5 ILCS 140/11.
Standard reservation of rights. ISP reserves all rights to assert additional exemptions set forth in 5 ILCS 140/7 and 7.5, and other applicable federal, state, laws and rules, for the basis to withhold and/or redact these records. It also reserves the right to provide supplemental factual information and legal authority in support of the claimed exemption or any further exemptions that may be claimed. Certain records may be withheld in their entirety due to applicable exemptions. ISP also reserves the right to withhold records based on another law enforcement agencys claimed exemptions.

Re: FOIA Request No. 06221756
The following is a supplemental response to your FOIA request received on March 11, 2024. Although a narrowed scope was not received as requested in our initial response dated March 25, 2024, in the spirit of cooperation and transparency, ISP has now finished locating and is providing all records responsive to this request. The records did not require any redactions; thus, your request is granted and this file is now closed.
The requested records that ISP is providing are too voluminous to be sent via email; thus, they have been uploaded to the secure Microsoft Office OneDrive Server and will be available for download at your convenience for the next 365 days at: 06221756 Docs Sent_RM.zip
