New York State's Freedom of Information Law (Public Officers Law §87 et. seq.) allows members of the public to access records of governmental agencies. FOIL provides a process for the review and copying of agency records.
Many times information may be available simply by contacting the appropriate office or by browsing our website. However, the Riverhead Fire District FOIL process is available to anyone requesting public records.
