How to Request Jasper County Police Records

Under Indiana Code IC 5-14-3, the Access to Public Records Act, any person may request public records from the Jasper County Sheriff's Office. You do not need to explain why you want the records. The agency must respond within seven business days. If they fail to respond in that time, the request is treated as denied.

Requests can be made by phone at 219-866-7344, by fax to 219-866-4949, or in person at 2171 North McKinley Avenue in Rensselaer. When submitting your request, include the date of the incident, the names of those involved, a case number if you have one, and the type of record you need. Include your contact information so staff can reach you if they need clarification.

Records tied to ongoing investigations may be withheld under IC 5-14-3-4 exemptions. Juvenile records are generally off limits regardless of how the request is made. If the office denies your request in whole or in part, they must provide a written explanation citing the specific exemption.

The Jasper County government directory lists official contact information for the Sheriff's Office along with other county departments.
