FOIA Request to Prescott Valley Police Department regarding active employee roster on November 13, 2025.
A request for public records was submitted to the Prescott Valley Police Department by a representative of the Grand Canyon Times. The request, made under the Arizona Public Records Law § 39.101 et seq., seeks access to various records that identify all current employees of the department. Specifically, the requested information includes any roster, directory, staffing list, payroll record, or personnel summary that details each employee’s name, job title or rank, sex or gender (if available), date of hire or appointment, and age or year of birth (only if included in existing public-facing records).
The request also specifies that if multiple versions of such rosters exist—such as HR rosters, payroll rosters, sworn-officer rosters, and civilian-staff rosters—the most recent version of each should be provided. The Grand Canyon Times emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public. As a media organization committed to these principles, they have requested a fee waiver for accessing these records.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
