Criminal Record access

Q: Does the general public have access to criminal records and if so, what process would you follow to review them?
A: The general public does not have access to criminal records or otherwise. You may be able to obtain copies of certain documents, such as accidents or other crime reports if you are a named party in the report, but generally speaking criminal records and reports are considered sensetive to law enforcement and cannot be accessed. You can also contact our records bureau if you have a specific question about a report at 235.9212
