Re: FOIA # 06289123 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 25, 2025. 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 No. 06289123
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 received on March 18, 2025.
ISP is unable to provide any records involving this incident in the statutorily allotted timeframe without disproportionately burdening our operations as it has not yet been determined if there are any records responsive to this request. Continuing to search for, compile, and redact records in response to this request would be unduly burdensome, pursuant to Section 3(g) of FOIA. Accordingly, ISP is extending you the opportunity to narrow the scope and reduce your request to manageable proportions.
A supplemental response will be forthcoming once the FOIA Unit receives more information regarding the responsive records requested.
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.
