State police investigate missing personnel papers at Henry County Sheriff’s Department, Quad City Times, March 12 2010

Illinois State Police are investigating reports that Henry County Sheriff Gib Cady allowed some of his deputies to remove and destroy items from their personnel files. Henry County State’s Attorney Terry Patton asked state police to investigate after he was notified about the issue last week by someone at the sheriff’s department, he said. The matter was discussed further at this week’s county board meeting, Patton said.... Cady told board members that he was confused by the state’s Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, which changed at the beginning of this year and opened up more records to public access, Nelson said.
