The Easley Police Department adheres to the requirements set forth in the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act (S.C. Code of Laws Title 30, Chapter 4). Pursuant to the provisions of FOIA, EPD has 10 business days (or 20 business days for records requests over two years old) to advise you of the availability of non-exempt publicly available records pursuant to your request.

If additional time is needed for such, EPD will notify you and will seek an “extension by written mutual agreement” -- FOIA provides that “this agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.” S.C.
