FOIL Requests for Greenburgh Police Records

The Town Clerk serves as Records Management Officer and administrator of the Freedom of Information Law for Greenburgh. The Clerk receives FOIL requests and coordinates with departments to compile and release responsive records. This means your FOIL request for police records goes first to the Town Clerk, who then routes it to the Police Department.

The Town Clerk also coordinates records retention. All town records are kept in compliance with the New York State Retention Schedule. This affects how far back you can get records. Once records reach the end of their retention period and are destroyed per the NYS schedule, they are no longer accessible through FOIL.

Agencies must respond to FOIL requests within five business days. Responses can be the records themselves, a denial with written reasons, or an acknowledgment with an estimated date. If denied, you have 30 days to appeal. The appeal officer has 10 business days to respond to your appeal.

Standard copy fees are $0.25 per page. Electronic records are typically free unless compiling them requires more than two hours of staff time. Common exemptions include open investigations, confidential informant identities, and sealed court records. For the state's FOIL guidance, visit opengovernment.ny.gov.
