Record Requests

	Our records are available Monday thru Friday from 8:00 am until 4:00 pm. Requests will be handled by the records clerk during business hours. The records of the Norwalk Police Department are not checked prior to computerization in June 1991 unless specifically requested. The Norwalk Police Department is bound by Ohio public record law and the department's approved retention schedule.

	The Norwalk Police Department will complete background checks of potential renters for property owners and of potential employees for employers.

		We only search the records of incidents that occured in the city lmits of Norwalk.
		We can only release records that have been disposed of in court.
		Knowing the name and social security number of the party involved, along with the date and time of the incident wil greatly help the search for the record.
		Accident reports will be released only when the officer has completed the report. It is recommended that you call first to ensure the report will be ready for you when you arrive.

	If you have any questions, please call (419) 669-6780 and ask for records.
