Richmond’s new Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) platform is now fully ready for public use — though some records still won’t be available until September. … Not only will “JustFOIA” streamline the FOIA process, but it will also serve as a public database for some of Richmond’s FOIA-related records. Typically, when someone submits a FOIA request, the related documents are just issued to the person who asked for them. With this FOIA Library, that will no longer be true — at least, in part. Initially, Richmond officials said that the FOIA Library would contain all of the city’s FOIA-related documents. However, during the Richmond City Council’s approval process, this changed. The finalized version of the ordinance included several restrictions on what documents can be added. … Additionally, records from the Richmond Police Department (RPD) will not be immediately available, according to the city.

While Prince George County authorities continue to investigate the June 11 cyberattack on the county’s electronic network, the county is offering free credit monitoring for any citizen or employee. In a statement June 24, county Public Information Officer Hannah Thomas said the offer was made because it remains “possible” that personal information – driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers and other sensitive data – was captured by the hackers. The investigation into the attack continues.
