  • Where do I find my court date in Indiana?

  • How do I find dates and reasons for past arrests in Indiana?
    Beware of using background checks when looking for a specific arrest record, as many only include records of convictions, criminal courts, etc. Arrests reports, similar to incident or accident reports, are obtained from the law enforcement department which created the report. The Indiana state police offer a limited criminal history search and claims on its site to only have felonies and class A misdemeanor arrest records. If you're searching for the report, try going to the police or sheriff's department directly or their site and see about getting the reports. Usually, the defense attorney also has a copy. Not sure how public the arrest reports are; departments throughout the state seem to have restrictions on who can request them.

  • How do I find out how many arrests in Indiana I have had over the years?
    You can request your arrest reports directly from police records services. They likely have a website and information with forms on where and how to put in the request. Some departments provide them to the person for free. Also, the defense attorneys will usually have a copy. Generally, background checks, criminal history searches, or any variety that says the same thing will provide records of convictions, not solely arrests. However, the Indiana state police's criminal history search page states the following: "contains only felonies and class A misdemeanor arrests within the state of Indiana." This searches the entire state according to the ISP's site.

  • Where can you find free public records in Indiana?
    There are millions of records scattered throughout various agencies, departments, and websites, some free, some have small fees, and others with larger ones. The short answer is "all over." Start with a category or the type of record you're looking for, then look to see if it is a public record or not. There are both free public records using the resources here, and somewhere the government agency asks for a fee, so all public records are not free just because they're public records. However, the cost imposed on the public can't be unjustly excessive.

  • Where can I find in Indiana what information is available to the general public under the freedom of information laws?
    Open record statutes generally pertain to the availability of information held by government entities. In some instances, companies that officials or their agencies contract to perform specific tasks and responsibilities on behalf of the government can also fall into open records laws. These laws are in place to promote transparent governments and their functions, procedures, plans, meetings, budgets, documents, recorded materials, and more. This source aims to assist users with obtaining recorded documents that are sought by and open to the public. Statutes about open records, sometimes named sunshine laws, open meetings and records laws, and so forth, guarantee access to such records. Other guidelines within open records laws look at such topics as prohibitive costs associated with obtaining public information. However, many of these laws do not address the ease of access to which the public can get them. As many government entities do not strive to promote their services as private companies do, their sources and services are not easily found by persons unfamiliar with requesting public data and where to look. Questions such as 'where do I find marriage and divorce records?' arise before an individual begins the search. Would this be in the state's courts? County clerk, recorder? Or would I go to the state's health department? Where would I find criminal records? Is this considered public information anyone can view? What is required to obtain this type of information, and are the guidelines the same for employers as they are for private individuals or the person themselves? These answers, although in some venues are similar in many ways, can also greatly vary from state to state, counties, and other local governments. Even when different agencies share the same guidelines, their budgets and the number of requests they receive are also factors in where their services are found. An example is that larger departments and a high volume of requests will have greater access to the web. A functional, user-friendly portal to public records is helpful when an individual is unsure where to look or begin the search and where the best places and most accessible ways to obtain information are among the main focus and goals. Visitors are also provided a forum where questions can be asked, and answers can be viewed as helpful in specific challenges posed by other users.

  • How do I find my grandmother's arrest records or related newspaper articles in Indiana, around 1945 to 1950?

  • Where can I find in Indiana an incident report or a police record from 1984 of my father being shot?
    Have you tried going to the town he got shot in, going to the police station, and telling them you want a police report?? I know they will do it here, and it will go back far, but it takes time, and you have to pay like 10 or 15.00 for it. You can get help at the library, and you should be able to get news from the papers.

  • Where can I find, in Indiana, access to a list of arrests for illegally using or selling controlled substances?
    There are arrest logs and arrest statistics. Statistics can only be so recent; arrest logs are provided by individual police agencies making the arrests. An arrest report is different from either of those two. Arrest or incident reports are official documents requested by counsel, police agencies, or parties to the case. These must be ordered individually; instructions to do so are available on the individual department's public website.
