In this recorded webinar, True Crime Research Training founder Haley Gray spoke with Jordan Taylor, FOIA expert and true crime researcher. During this webinar, Jordan walked attendees through what a FOIA request is, what records you can request, his request process, and so much more.
The documents below are referenced in the webinar:
Here is a link to the FOIA template Jordan uses.

This isn’t discussed in the video, but we’ve put together an email template that you can use to contact records departments when submitting your request.
