2024 Freedom of Information Act Litigation and Compliance Report
U.S. Department of Justice, March 7, 2025
During 2024, the Office of Information Policy continued to provide comprehensive guidance and training to agencies concerning the FOIA and DOJ’s 2022 FOIA Guidelines. Additionally, OIP managed the submission of agencies’ Fiscal Year 2024 Annual FOIA Reports as well as their 2024 Chief FOIA Officer Reports, which are compiled based on guidance developed and issued by OIP each year … A highlight of 2024 was the addition of a new law enforcement user journey as part of the FOIA Search Tool on FOIA.gov. The incorporation of this pre-defined user journey was structured to help the public more easily locate commonly requested law enforcement records. In introducing the new user journey, the machine learning functionality used to power the Search Tool was retrained and benefitted from recent advancements. As a result, search results are anticipated to be more accurate and precise. As the public interacts with the search tool, OIP will use data analytics to better understand how the tool is being used and assess the quality of the results so that improvements can be made.
