How much do reports cost?
Most reports are available to the public at a cost of $5.00 per report. For reports larger than 20 pages, an additional 25 cents per copy will be charged. If you need a copy of a picture disc, an extra charge of $15.00 per disc plus postage will be added to the fee. Can I mail a request for a report?
Yes, you can mail in a request for a report. Please include your contact information, phone number, and a check or money order for $5.00, payable to the Hardin County Sheriff, with your report request. Most reports will be $5.00, but if they require additional fees, you will be contacted by the Sheriff's Office prior to mailing the requested report. Can anyone get a report on any person?
Yes. The Sheriff's Office can not arbitrarily run scans to find out case numbers or to determine if a person was involved in an incident, but if you have a person's name and know his or her date of birth, we will try to help you retrieve the information you are seeking. Do I need a case number to get a report copy?
No. Having a case number is preferred, but if you know the time, location, and nature of the incident, the Sheriff's Office can look it up for you. Are all reports open to the public?
No. If a case is currently under investigation, has gone to the District Attorney's Office for prosecution, or if the case involves a juvenile as being a suspect or arrested, the report will not be released and no information in the report will be given out. |
