FOIA Request to Collier County Sheriff’s Office regarding new recruits application form on July 29, 2025.
The Sunshine Sentinel has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office in Florida. The request seeks access to a PDF copy of the application form used for recruiting applicants. This request is made under Article I, section 24 of the Florida Constitution, and chapter 119, F.S., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The Sunshine Sentinel, known for its comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, emphasizes the importance of accessing public records. The organization believes that such access is crucial for holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. In line with this belief, they have requested a fee waiver due to their status as a media professional.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government actions through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found on their website here.
