Noblesville Quick Facts
Noblesville Police Department
The Noblesville Police Department is at 135 S. 9th Street, Noblesville, IN 46060. Call 317-773-1300 to reach the Records Division. Noblesville is the county seat of Hamilton County, one of Indiana's fastest-growing counties located just north of Indianapolis. The department handles all law enforcement within the city, including patrol, criminal investigations, and records management. As the city has grown, so has the volume of records the department maintains.
For records requests, visit in person at 135 S. 9th Street or send a written request by mail to the same address. Bring your photo ID for in-person visits. Include the date, location, and case number of the incident you're researching, along with your contact information and the format you want for copies. Staff at 317-773-1300 can confirm whether a record is in their system before you make the trip.
Hamilton County is also home to Carmel, Fishers, and Westfield, each with its own police department. If an incident occurred in one of those cities rather than Noblesville, that city's department holds the record. The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office handles enforcement outside city limits. For county-level resources, see the Hamilton County police records page.
The Indiana State Police APRA portal shown below is the channel for records requests submitted to ISP rather than local agencies like Noblesville PD.
Use this portal at in.accessgov.com/isp-apra to submit and track APRA requests for state police records that are separate from what Noblesville's Records Division maintains.
How to Request Noblesville Police Records
The legal basis for your right to request Noblesville police records is IC 5-14-3, Indiana's Access to Public Records Act. No reason is required. The department has 7 days to respond from the date it receives your request. If they need additional time, they must notify you in writing within that window. Failing to respond is treated as a denial that you can appeal.
You can submit your request in person at 135 S. 9th Street or by mail to the same address. Your written request should include your full name and contact information, a description of the record you want, the date and location of the incident, any case number you have, and the format you prefer for copies. Electronic submissions may be possible; call first to confirm. It always helps to put requests in writing even when you call, since that creates a clear record.
Fees apply for copies. The department must give you a cost estimate before releasing records. Simple reports cost little. Body camera footage and records requiring redaction carry higher fees because of the staff time involved. The agency must tell you the estimated cost before beginning redaction work. If a request is denied, the department must put that in writing and cite the specific exemption from IC 5-14-3-4. Challenge improper denials with the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac.
Crash Reports in Noblesville
Traffic accident reports filed by Noblesville Police are available through BuyCrash.com. Indiana routes all crash reports through the ISP statewide database, and BuyCrash is the public portal. You need the crash date, the report number if available, and the names of at least one person involved. Reports are typically ready within a few business days of the incident.
If Indiana State Police responded to a crash rather than Noblesville officers, the report is still in BuyCrash. All Indiana agencies submit to the same statewide database. Crash reports are commonly used for insurance claims and legal proceedings. Certified copies from BuyCrash are accepted in most court and insurance contexts. These reports are separate from general incident reports and cover traffic accidents specifically.
Indiana Criminal History Search
The Indiana State Police runs the Limited Criminal History (LCH) search at in.gov/ai/appfiles/isp-lch. This searches for felony and Class A misdemeanor records from all Indiana agencies. The fee is $15.70 by credit card or $15 for subscriber accounts. Mail requests cost $7. Results show "ON FILE," "NOT ON FILE," or "NO RECORDS FOUND." Inconclusive results need a fingerprint-based check.
The system runs on data reported by local agencies under IC 10-13-2. That statute requires agencies like Noblesville PD to submit arrest and disposition data to the state repository. The LCH draws from those reports. If a case exists but the disposition hasn't been entered yet, the result may be inconclusive. Pairing the LCH with a MyCase search gives a fuller picture of any Indiana case.
The Indiana Criminal History Services portal shown below is where LCH name-based searches are submitted.
This portal at in.gov allows you to submit a search online by credit card or mail and returns most results quickly for straightforward name-based lookups.
Court Records and Statewide Registries
Hamilton County court records are searchable on MyCase Indiana. The service is free and requires no account. Search by name or case number for case summaries, charges, hearing dates, and dispositions from Hamilton Circuit and Superior Courts. MyCase covers all Indiana courts, not just Hamilton County, so out-of-county records are searchable through the same interface.
The Indiana Sex Offender Registry allows you to search by name, zip code, or county for registered offenders in Noblesville or anywhere else in Indiana. The Indiana Protection Order Registry shows active court-issued protective orders statewide, searchable by name. Both tools are free and open to the public without an account.
The protection order registry shown below is maintained by Indiana courts and updated as orders are issued, modified, or expired across all counties.
This registry at public.courts.in.gov includes orders from Hamilton County courts and is a reliable resource for verifying whether a protective order is currently active.
Body Camera Records and Special Requests
Body camera footage from Noblesville Police officers is governed by IC 5-14-3-5.1. To request footage, provide the date, approximate time, location, and the name of at least one non-officer involved in the incident. Departments must retain recordings for a minimum of 190 days, or longer when a complaint or use-of-force review is ongoing.
Footage can be withheld or redacted when releasing it would harm an active investigation, affect a fair trial, or reveal a protected identity such as a juvenile or confidential informant. When partial release is possible, the department must release the non-exempt portions rather than deny the whole request. Agencies must disclose the estimated redaction cost before starting work. If a denial seems improper, the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac can review it at no cost.
Investigatory records from active criminal cases are exempt under IC 5-14-3-4(b)(1). Those materials generally become available after the case closes. The sex offender registry shown below is another useful tool for Hamilton County residents.
The Indiana Sex Offender Registry at icrimewatch.net/indiana.php is searchable by name, zip code, or map, and includes registered offenders in Noblesville and across Hamilton County.
