Indiana Police Reports

By Ben Kingsley


Indiana police public records are issued to a resident of Indiana who has violated the laws of the state or country. This document is issued by different law enforcing agencies of the government such as the highway patrol, police department or the sheriff's office.

Residents of Indiana refer to this document when they conduct a background check. Employers are among the people who regularly access this type of document. They use it to check on their people to make sure they have qualified and trustworthy individuals working for them. This helps the company avoid problems and can eventually help them grow and expand. Even ordinary residents of Indiana would request for such documents to check on people they see everyday such as their neighbors, tutors, babysitters, friends and relatives. This makes them feel at ease and safe in where they live. The document is also used by authorities. It can help them find clues about a certain criminal case.

A police record in Indiana focuses more on the crimes that an individual has committed. The document would show if the reported individuals been charged for the offense or not. In cases where no charges were filed for the individual, a police report is still generated for documentation purposes and for monitoring. The complete name of the person involved is indicated on the file along with his/her personal details such as the date and place of birth and the address of residency. One can also find all of the charges and the sentence that the person has been given.

In order to get a copy of a police record in Indiana, one has to go to the office of the Department of Public Safety. It is where the police records of the state are being kept and managed. One has to fill out the application form provided by the office. The basic information that can be found on the record being requested has to be indicated on the form along with the personal details of the one who requested the document. One should know that the record can only be given if the one who requested for the record is the person himself or their immediate family. The police report is only open to the public after the case has been closed.

The Public Safety office also accepts mailed-in request. If one prefers to send the request by mail, one should enclose all the requirements and the documents that are needed to avoid problems and issues in the request. It can take a while before the document can be delivered to the one who requested the document. Thus, this is not the fastest way to obtain a copy of the said document.

The state of Indiana has used the Internet to deliver information to the residents.

There are free public police records that can be obtained from websites who allow its users to try their services first. Most residents, however, immediately go for the paid service to ensure that the results they get are accurate and correct.
