How to Request Union County Police Records

To request records from the Union County Sheriff's Office, visit in person at 106 E Union St in Liberty, call (765) 458-5194, or send a written request by mail. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act (IC 5-14-3) allows any person to inspect and copy public records from any Indiana government agency. No reason is required for the request.

A written request creates the clearest paper trail. Include the type of record, the date range, the names of people involved if you know them, and any case or report numbers. The agency must respond within 7 days. If they need additional time and don't notify you within that window, the request is treated as denied. Fees apply for copies. Ask about the fee schedule and accepted payment methods before visiting.

Some records are exempt from public disclosure. Active investigation files, juvenile records, and certain personal data are generally withheld. If your request is denied, the office must give you the reason in writing and cite the specific legal exemption. If you believe the denial was improper, the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac can provide an advisory opinion.
