RE: FOIA Request of October 18, 2019, Reference # R002957-102219

Dear Freddy Martinez,

Thank you for contacting the Cook County Sheriff's Office ("CCSO") pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), 5 ILCS 140/1 et seq. (2012).

Your request mentioned:
Requesting the following records:

For the last five years (January 1, 2014 to the present) for all funds administrated by Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program, I am looking for any records:

- Communication between the DOJ COPS office and officials at the Cook County Sheriff in applying for any grants.
- The final grant application as submitted by Cook County Sheriff.
- Documents sufficient to show what programming the funds would be allocated for.
- Documents sufficient to show the size of the grants.
- Documents sufficient to show if a grant was awarded, rejected and for what reasons (insufficicent documentation, etc).

Please be aware that this request is being made by Open the Government, a nonpartisan coalition that works to strengthen democracy by creating a more transparent and accountable government. For that reason, we request a fee waiver in processing this request. We are also asking for expedited processing of this request.

Please be advised that the CCSO is extending its time for response pursuant to 5 ILCS 140/3 as documents responsive to your request are still being generated. Please note that this correspondence does not serve to waive any exemptions available to this public body under FOIA. The CCSO will issue a response on or before 11/1.

Please contact us by replying to this email if you have any further concerns/questions related to this request.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Scannell
