Greene County Sheriff's Office

The Greene County Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff George Dallaire. The mailing address is PO Box 267, Bloomfield, IN 47424. The physical address is 204 County Road 70 E. The main phone number is (812) 384-4411. When you call, an automated system answers. Press 1 for dispatch and press 2 for records. That records option saves you time compared to waiting for a general operator. Office hours for records and administrative matters run Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Sheriff's Office handles law enforcement for unincorporated Greene County and manages the county jail. For incidents within incorporated towns like Linton or Bloomfield, the local municipal police may hold separate records. Check with the Sheriff's Office if you are not sure which agency responded to the incident you're researching.

Greene County Records Request Process and Fees

Greene County handles public records requests under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act (IC 5-14-3). You have the right to request public records in person, by mail, or by phone. The office has 7 days to respond. If a record is denied, they must give you a written explanation with the legal basis cited.

The county has a downloadable records request form available at co.greene.in.us. Download and complete the form before visiting or submitting by mail. Having the form ready in advance reduces back-and-forth with records staff.

The fee schedule for Greene County records varies by document type and office. Clerk records cost $1.00 per page, with a $3.00 fee to certify. Recorder documents are $1.00 per page or available as a PDF. Other county records may be 10 cents per page for black-and-white copies, 25 cents per page for color, and $5.00 for records on a CD or DVD.

The records form page at the county site is shown in the screenshot below, from co.greene.in.us.

The records form is downloadable from the county site and includes instructions for how to submit your request and what to include.

Indiana Level Check History

For a statewide criminal history search, the Indiana State Police Level Check History (LCH) system is the best tool. The fee is $15.70 by credit card online or $7.00 by mail. Access the portal at in.gov/ai/appfiles/isp-lch/. The system uses the state criminal history repository maintained under IC 10-13-2. It covers arrests, charges, and dispositions from courts and agencies across all 92 Indiana counties, including Greene County.

The LCH is useful when you need to see criminal history across multiple Indiana counties. Local records that were never submitted to the state repository may not appear, so pairing a state search with a local request gives you the most thorough picture.

APRA requests for records held by Indiana State Police go through the online portal at in.accessgov.com/isp-apra. County Sheriff records require a separate local request to the Greene County Sheriff's Office.

Record Access Rights and Appeals

Under APRA (IC 5-14-3), arrest logs, incident reports, and booking records are generally public once a case closes. Records tied to active investigations, juvenile matters, and certain victim information may be withheld. Any denial must be in writing with a legal basis.

If you believe the Greene County Sheriff's Office denied your request improperly, contact the Indiana Public Access Counselor. That office reviews APRA disputes and issues opinions free of charge. Their opinions are advisory but carry weight, and most agencies comply.

For court-level records such as case files, judgments, and sentencing orders, contact the Greene County Clerk's Office in Bloomfield. Those records are separate from Sheriff's records and are maintained by the clerk's office.
