Reports & Records Checks

REQUESTS FOR REPORTS:
Requests for reports and/or records checks require payment to be made up front.  Copies of reports are $10.00 for the first 10 pages and $1.00 per page after that.  If photos are available you may obtain them for $25.00 which includes a CD.  To obtain copies you must fill out a release of information form with as much information as possible to help us locate the requested information for you.  We will not accept nor respond to faxed or e-mailed requests.

RESEARCH FEE FOR RECORDS CHECKS:
If you do not have the case number, we charge a research fee of $10.00 per name or address which includes a copy of 1 report up to 10 pages.  If there was an arrest then we will not release the report until it has been adjudicated or gone through the court system.  A records check will only provide you with our agency's information.  If you are wanting to obtain somebody's criminal history statewide you must do that through the Oregon State Police.

OTHER AGENCY REPORTS:
We do not release other agency reports nor do we release juvenile reports; requests for those must be done through those agencies involved.  Requests are processed as time allows and are usually done once per week.  Since the Polk County Jail houses individuals that have been arrested inside of Polk County, multiple law enforcement agencies utilize our facility.  Each agency takes care of their own reports so even though somebody was in our jail, you still have to go to the appropriate agency for a copy of the report; the same is true for records checks

PERSONAL INFORMATION IN REPORTS:
Personal information in the report will be redacted or blackened out unless the request is from an attorney.

Payments can be made with cash, checks & money orders made payable to the Polk County Sheriff's Office or PCSO. We will also gladly accept VISA, MasterCard and debit cards with the VISA emblem, but NOT over the phone.
