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 dated March 14, 2023. A reasonable search for the requested records was conducted. ISP is denying your request for the reasons outlined below:

ISP’s Statewide Terrorism & Intelligence Center (STIC) has identified 8 records. STIC did not create any records pertaining to this request and did not participate in or have a role in any of the events which are the subjects of the records, but received the records for awareness from other entities.
