Westfield sits in the northern part of Hamilton County and has grown significantly as part of the Indianapolis metropolitan area.

Both agencies report to the Indiana State Police criminal history repository under IC 10-13-2.

The department has a dedicated records email and a public records request form online, which makes it easier than many Indiana departments to submit requests remotely without visiting the station. Email requests carry no charge in some cases, which is a notable advantage for Westfield residents compared to departments that charge for all copies.

Westfield Police Records Request Process

Indiana Code IC 5-14-3, the Access to Public Records Act, establishes the right to inspect and copy public records from any Indiana public agency. No reason is required. Agencies have seven days to respond. If they do not respond or inform you that more time is needed within that window, the request is treated as denied by law.

The Westfield Police Department accepts records requests by email at wpdrecords@westfield.in.gov. Police reports sent by email are provided at no charge. You can also use the online Public Records Request Form at westfieldin.gov/FormCenter to submit electronically. The department also has a dedicated report request page at westfieldin.gov/253/Report-Requests and a records page at westfieldin.gov/244/Records with more detail on what is available.

When submitting your request, include the date of the incident, the location, and the names of parties involved. A case number helps if you have it. For in-person visits, the department is at 17535 Dartown Road. Call the records line at 317-804-3200 to confirm current hours before visiting. Mail requests can go to the same physical address.

Note: Body camera footage requests require date, time, location, and at least one non-officer name under IC 5-14-3-5.1. Agencies may charge up to $150 for video redaction before release, and investigatory records from open cases are exempt under IC 5-14-3-4.
