Access by the public to records maintained by the police department is governed by Section 19.33 to 19.37 of the Wisconsin Statutes.

Generally, most records that relate to criminal incidents or traffic accidents are available 5 -7 days after first reported to the police department. Access to juvenile records, on-going police investigations, incidents that involve sensitive matters such as sexual assaults, abuse or neglect, or involve confidential or reputational issues require careful scrutiny that may delay or prevent full disclosure of that record. The cost for copies is $0.25 per page, with additional charges for large files or special items such as photographs, audio and videotapes.  The requestor will be required to complete an Open Records Request Form, available at the Police Service Window or may be downloaded as the below link.
