Re: FOIA #06167820 Extension
The Illinois State Police (ISP) acknowledges receipt of your attached Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. A response to your request is due January 23, 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 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: FOIR #06167820 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 FOIA request dated January 16, 2024.
ISP is providing records responsive to the first two items of your request concerning agencies in which ALPR data is shared or received. ISP does not have documents responsive to the portion of your request concerning hot list information, as ISP does not share or receive such information.
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: 06167820-Docs Sent-ta.pdf
