How to Request Warren County Police Records

To request records from the Warren County Sheriff's Office, visit in person at 29 E 2nd St, Williamsport, call (765) 764-4367, or mail a written request. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act (IC 5-14-3) lets any person inspect and copy public records from any Indiana government agency. No reason is required for the request under IC 5-14-3-3.

Written requests are best. Include the type of record, the date or date range, names of people involved if known, and any case or report numbers you have. The agency must respond within 7 days. If they fail to respond on time without notifying you, the request is treated as denied. Fees apply for copies. Ask about the fee schedule before you visit the office in person.

Some records are exempt from disclosure. Open investigation files, juvenile records, and certain personal data are withheld under IC 5-14-3-4. If your request is denied, the agency must cite the specific exemption in writing. Contact the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac if you believe a denial was improper.
