How to Request Jail or Sheriff’s Office Records from Rock County (Step-by-step)

Rock County Sheriff's Office handles requests for a wide range of records, including jail records, incident reports, arrest reports, accident reports, citations, photos, and recorded media like body camera or dash camera footage. One exception: if you need 911 audio, that goes through the Rock County 911 Communications Center—not the Sheriff's Office. Wisconsin's Public Records Law gives you flexibility here. You can make your request verbally or in writing. The main requirement is that it's "reasonably specific" about what you want and the time period involved, so staff can actually find the records.
