Police Department: Police Reports |
Most police records are public records. There are, however, exceptions such as ongoing investigations and juvenile records.
Obtaining Copies of Police Reports
It is the duty of the Records Section to ensure that all confidentially requirements are met and that criminal history and arrest information is released only to persons who qualify. Providing there is no violation of confidentially regulations, records will provide reports to requesting parties.
Copies of police reports are available for purchase from the front counter upon completion of a form requesting the reports.
All requests must be paid in advance and a self-addressed stamped envelope must be included with payment.
Copy Charges
Private Citizens and Non-Profit Organizations: $1 for the first sheet of paper and $0.25 for each additional page of that report. Requests for multiple case numbers will continue to be $1 for the first sheet of each individual case and $0.25 for each additional page of that report. The copying charge will not exceed $5 for up to 20 pages.
For Profit Organizations (i.e. insurance companies): $5 for up to 20 pages. Each copy after the initial 20 will be charged a rate of $1 per page.
