OBTAINING POLICE RECORDS
_______________________________________________________________

 

Accident Reports


 
Copies of police reports can be obtained during regular business hours at the Sparta Police Department. There is a charge of $0.25 per page.

It generally takes five to ten business days, from the day of an accident, for the report to be available for copies.
Incident Reports
Incident reports take a minimum of three to ten business days before they are available for copies. The availability of incident reports depends largely upon what type of report it is. If an incident is under investigation we will not release a complete copy of the report. We will provide a copy of the front page of the report to use for insurance purposes or proof that the report exists if necessary. Incident reports are available pursuant to the Wisconsin open records laws.
 
You may also submit a Request for Public Record. Please complete the form with as much detail as possible and mail, email or drop it off at the Sparta Police Department. We will contact you if the record can or cannot be released, when it is available for pick-up, and the total cost for copies.
