Open Records Requests
Records Department has 10 working business days, by law, to fulfill records requests. Not all reports and data within reports is public information. Trained staff members remove data that is not considered public prior to releasing reports.
Requests for police reports and crime statistics must be submitted in writing. The request must be as detailed as possible, including the type of information needed, report number if known, dates and times, and location. This information will assist staff members in completing your request without delay.
