OAKWOOD VILLAGE POLICE REPORTS

The records section of the police department is located at the Oakwood Village Hall. The service counter is located on your left as you enter through the main entrance. The records section is open eight hours a day during normal business hours.

Police reports are kept on file in this facility. Most reports are kept for a minimum of 10 years. The records section processes requests for reports weekly. It is important to know that if you need a copy of a report, your request will be processed much more expediently if you are familiar with some of the procedures involved in accommodating your request.

What Information Will I Need To Process My Request ?

To expedite the process of locating your report, you should know the date, time, and location of the incident. You should also know the name of the officer that handled the report, and the incident number. Since our reports are tracked by computer, the incident number is very important. You may not need all of the above information, however, the more you have, the faster your request can be processed.

Oakwood Village Police officers are frequently called to assist other police agencies in bordering jurisdictions, however, we do only keep records on events that actually occur within the corporate limits of the Village of Oakwood.

Who Can Obtain A Copy Of A Police Report ?

The law states that this information is public information. This generally means that if your name appears in the report, you or your attorney, insurance agent or any interested party may obtain a copy of it. It is important to note that the Oakwood Village Police Department may deny access to the report for several valid reasons, the most common being that the case is still under investigation or it is in litigation.
