Question:

How can I get a copy of a police report?

Answer:

You must wait three working days for a police report to become available. Then call the Sheriff's Records Division between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday at 477-1000 to request a copy.

• Provide the Records Division with the case number (CFS#).
• If you do not have a case number, provide the location of the incident, date and any victim or suspect information.
• There is a $.15 per page copy charge ($.20 per page for two-sided copies).
• You may pick up the report when it’s ready or send a self-addressed, stamped envelope along with the case number to have it mailed to you.

Background checks are also available through the records section for a fee of $5.00.
