How to Request Fishers Police Records

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3 governs all public records requests in the state. Any person can request public records from the Fishers Police Department. You don't have to be an Indiana resident, and you don't need to explain why you want the record. The department has 7 days to respond. If they need more time, they must notify you in writing. Silence is treated as a denial under the law.

To request records, contact the department at (317) 595-3300. You can also visit in person or send a written request by mail. Put your request in writing and include as much detail as possible: case number, date, location, and names of people involved. The more specific you are, the faster the staff can find what you need. Vague requests take longer and may come back asking for clarification.

Fees apply for copies. Indiana law lets agencies charge reasonable copying fees. The department will tell you the cost before releasing documents. If any part of your request is denied, the agency must put that in writing and cite the specific exemption under IC 5-14-3-4. Common exemptions include ongoing investigations and juvenile records. You always have the right to know why a record is being withheld.

Note: If you believe a denial was improper, you can seek guidance from the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac at no cost.

Crash Reports in Fishers

Traffic accident reports from Fishers police are available through BuyCrash.com. The Indiana State Police maintains a central repository for all crash reports filed by Indiana law enforcement agencies, and BuyCrash is the public access point for that system. You need the report number, or the names of people involved and the date of the crash, to locate the right report. A nominal fee applies.

If ISP troopers responded to a crash on a state highway in the Fishers area, the report is still in the same BuyCrash database. Both city and state crash reports flow into the ISP central repository. So regardless of which agency filed the report, BuyCrash is the place to look.

State Police Records Resources for Fishers

The Indiana State Police operates a Limited Criminal History (LCH) search at in.gov/ai/appfiles/isp-lch. This covers felony and Class A misdemeanor arrests from across all 92 Indiana counties, including Hamilton County and Fishers. The fee is $15.70 by credit card or $7 by mail. Results come back as "ON FILE," "NOT ON FILE," or "NO RECORDS FOUND." An inconclusive result means a fingerprint-based check may be needed for a definitive answer.

For records held by the Indiana State Police itself, use the ISP APRA portal. This handles requests for ISP documents under the same 7-day response rule. The Indiana Sex Offender Registry is searchable by name, zip code, or county. Protection orders from Hamilton County courts are in the statewide Protection Order Registry. Court case records including criminal filings can be searched through MyCase Indiana for free without an account.

Hamilton County Resources

Fishers is in Hamilton County, one of the fastest-growing counties in Indiana. The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office handles law enforcement outside city limits and runs the county jail. For incidents that fall outside Fishers city limits, or for county jail and inmate records, visit the Hamilton County police records page. The county seat is Noblesville, where the sheriff's office and main courthouse are located.

Court records for Fishers-area cases filed in Hamilton County courts are searchable through MyCase. Criminal charges, civil matters, and protection orders all appear there. This is often faster than requesting documents directly from police if you mainly want to see what happened in court after an arrest.

Fishers Body Camera and Investigatory Records

Body camera footage requests go through the Fishers Police Department records division. Indiana's law at IC 5-14-3-5.1 sets the rules for how departments handle these requests. You need to provide the date, approximate time, location, and name of at least one non-officer involved in the incident. Agencies must retain recordings for a minimum of 190 days.

Footage may be withheld if it involves an active investigation, a juvenile, a confidential informant, or would interfere with a fair trial. When redaction is possible, the department must release the redacted version rather than deny the entire request. Fees for redaction can apply, up to $150 in many cases, and the department must give you an estimate before proceeding.

Records tied to active investigations are generally exempt under IC 5-14-3-4(b)(1). Once a case closes, more material may become available. Any denial must come in writing with a citation to the specific exemption used.
