Case Report: How do I get a copy?

You will be asked to fill out a Release of Public Records form.  Usually, only cases in which the criminal reports have been closed can the reports be released to the public.  Customers must show photo identification.

There is a charge of $7.50 for the first 5 pages of an incident report and $.25 for each additional page.  If extra research is needed, there may be an additional cost.  

Save time by filling out an Online Records Release Request or fill out and print a copy of this form and fax to 970-259-4595.
