Request a Report
New online system to request a report
The Sheriff's Office Records Unit is excited to announce it has launched a one-stop shop for all record requests. Residents, media, lawyers, etc., can now request reports, records and digital media online.
Once the Records Unit has processed your request, you will automatically receive updates on its progress. You will be notified when the request is being processed and when it is complete. This convenient service allows you to make payment and download the record all at once. This new online service aims to enhance communication and streamline the process, resulting in shorter turnaround times.
If you have any questions, you can contact the Records Unit at 651-430-7600 or by email.
