FOIA Request to Mackinac County Sheriff's Office regarding the number of applications and tracking on August 14, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Mackinac County Sheriff's Office by Great Lakes Wire, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request, sent on August 14, 2025, seeks specific records related to job applications received by the office.
