Dear Ms. Brack:
This is a request for information under the IL Freedom of Information Act.
In an e-mail dated March 17, 2016, Lt. Shawn Green of the Schaumburg Police Dept. wrote to Ryan Parry:
Sorry for the delay, but I needed to check on a few things. The direction Ive been given is to let
it stand with the original Freedom of Information Act request that was granted a while back. If
there is new information sought thats not covered by that one, you are welcome to file a new
request. I hope that helps.

1) Re: "the original Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA) that was granted a while back" to which Lt.
Green referred, please provide me with copies of that FOIA request, all records that were provided in
response to that request, and all correspondence associated with the processing of that request.
2) Please provide me with copies of all correspondence between Lt. Green and Mr. Parry from the time period
January 1, 2016 to the present.
If possible, please provide the records in digital format via e-mail. If your office wishes to correspond with
me, please feel free to do so via e-mail.
I'm requesting these records for an article I'm reporting on my blog and I have no financial interest in the
requested information, therefore this is to request that I be categorized as a member of the news media. For
the same reasons, this is also to request that any fees be waived.
If the fee for completing my request exceeds $5, please obtain my written approval prior to completing this
request.
If my request is denied in whole or part, I ask that you justify any and all all deletions and redactions by
reference to specific exemptions of the act. I also expect you to release all segregable portions of otherwise
exempt material.
Thank you for your attention, I look forward to receiving the requested records, and please confirm receipt of
my request.
Sincerely,
Peter M. Heimlich
