Freedom of Information Act document requests from Invisible Institute
These are requests the Invisible Institute has made. We sort them by whether the process is complete. Then whether the information has been requested without a response, if the response has been to extend the time limit on response, and whether the request was fulfilled or denied.
To see the many Chicago Police documents we have received, you can visit CPDP.
