Police work equals paper work. While the services provided through the Taylorville Police Department is vital, so is the logging of detailed information surrounding a variety of calls and complaints placed by the community. At the Taylorville Police Department, Records Specialist Kristin Nelson, is bringing clarity and transparency of the paper work had at the station. Nelson starts by explaining how she began her career in the department which ultimately led to her current position.

With all of this paper work, comes the releasing of it to the public when requested. Nelson is responsible for safely distributing these documents in a timely manner and tells of the volume of these requests.

Nelson describes how the process of a FOIA request starts and the ways to reach the department for them.
