Getting a Copy of an Incident Report from Lexington County Sheriff’s Department
Need a copy of an incident report from the Lexington County Sheriff's Department? The process depends on whether you're the victim and whether the report qualifies for online release. Here's how to request it, what it costs, and where to go if you need to handle it in person.
Crime victims get a free copy of the incident report. You can request yours through the online form on the Lexington County Sheriff's Department incident-report page.
To request a report online as a crime victim, fill out the form on the Lexington County Sheriff's Department incident-report page. After you submit, the department reviews and processes your request before releasing the report.
Processing happens Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays. If you submit a request on a weekend or holiday, the clock typically starts on the next business day.
Expect up to three business days for processing. If you need the report by a specific date, factor in that window so you're not scrambling at the last minute.
Not the victim? You'll need to request the report in person at the Sheriff's Department. A small fee applies.
