State law gives priority to our regular duties. It does not require us to provide records by a deadline you set. We process requests in the order we receive them. We try to respond promptly, but state law does not require us to interrupt our regular duties to respond to records requests. Staffing shortages and other circumstances or research requirements may delay a response. We will notify you that we have received your request and give you an estimated time if fulfilling your request will take longer than 20 business days. State and federal law require or allow us to keep some information and records confidential.
Fees
State law allows us to charge fees to recover our costs for locating and providing reports to the public. For copies of reports, photos, cd, or 911 calls the charges are listed below:
- $10.00 for first ten pages
- $0.25 per page after ten pages(a double‑sided copy is two pages)
- $10.00 minimum for photos or cd’s
- $10.00 minimum for 911 calls
We may charge additional amounts for staff time and other actual costs when responding to requests that require more than normal and reasonable time for routine requests.
Payment is required in advance before a report will be released. Only cash or check is accepted, (VISA or Debit cards will not be accepted).You may request a report via email with the attached records request form, but the report will not be sent until payment is received. If the fee is more than $10.00 you will be notified via email. Please verify with our Record’s Clerk what the actual fee is for your request prior to sending us a payment.
