Areas of Practice

Public record collection services

Local Labs is constantly collecting public records from federal, state governments as well as local governments, departments, and administrations of all sizes.

Freedom of Information request services

Most data Local Labs collects isn’t available online, therefore we are continually submitting FOIA requests to governments of all sizes for their records in the public domain.

Public record processing & news productization

Not all data comes in the same form or even digitally. Local Labs cleans and normalizes data for easier processing. We then use this data to create content for our clients.


 
The basic purpose of FOIA is to ensure an informed citizenry, vital to the functioning of a democratic society, needed to check against corruption and to hold the governors accountable to the governed.
