City of Niagara Falls No Longer Releasing Police Reports Without FOIA Request
By: Staff Reporter
For years, the Niagara Falls Police Department has sent out police reports on a daily basis to news organizations. These reports were then redacted by each news outlet and published as individual articles or as part of a crime blotter.
In the midst of the most deadly year in Niagara Falls history where there were 18 homicides, the City of Niagara Falls ended this practice.
“Based on a review of NFPD’s process for sending daily reports, it was determined that this information should have been supplied via FOIL requests only,” said City of Niagara Falls Public Information Officer Kristen Cavalleri.
