Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act., I hereby request the following records:

I am requesting the full roster of Unit 180.
I am requesting the full roster of any "Facial Recognition Team".
I am requesting any training manuals, bias reduction guidelines, directives and other policies that are central to the work of these the above units.

It is my understanding that this unit is housed in the Bureau of Detectives so please search for records there but do not limit your search to that bureau if records are stored elsewhere.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
