Records from Wheaton IL PD were added, covering July through October 2024. Wheaton is the DuPage County seat, a suburb of roughly 54,000 residents about 25 miles west of Chicago.
The FOIA response came as four zip-compressed xlsx files, one per month, each containing a single “Organization Audit” sheet.
#Organization audit
- Type: Organization audit (Wheaton PD’s own searches)
- Timespan: Jul 1 – Oct 31, 2024 (~4 months)
- Records: 5,438
The org audit records Wheaton PD’s own Flock searches — not the agencies that accessed Wheaton’s cameras (no network audit was produced in this request).

Case numbers in WHPC#### format (Wheaton Police Case) are the dominant entry type, indicating officers regularly used their case number as the reason string rather than a description. WHPC2400007 — a single case — accounts for 233 searches across the four months, suggesting sustained investigative attention. myoc (122 records) is a consistent but uninterpretable shorthand. spice boys appears 99 times as a freeform reason string, suggesting an ongoing narcotics-related investigation tracked informally across the four-month window.
