In the USA, if you do a websearch of whatever agency or government subdivision it is that you wish to FOIA, almost all (I believe all, but I am hedging my language.) will have instructions on how to submit a Freedom of Information Act request.Many entities make it possible to file a request online.It is not rocket surgery.When submitting a FOIA request, be as specific as possible with locations, time frames and types of documents, give background information and descriptions of what you are searching and, if possible, why you want it.Not every person working on the responses is trying to frustrate you or stonewall you or hiding things.
