Submit Sheriff's Office Open Records Request
Records and Fees
The Wisconsin Open Records Laws (ss. 19.31 to 19.39) govern public requests for government information. The policy of the law is to entitle the public access to records regarding government affairs. However, records involving a criminal incident are often sensitive in nature. Any incident report that involves a PENDING investigation or PENDING court action WILL NOT be released without prior court order or permission from the Lafayette County District Attorney. The Wisconsin State Accident Report can be released regardless of pending action once it is completed by the investigating deputy.
