Open Records Requests are subject to the Open Records Laws covered in Chapter 19, Wis. Stats. The Sparta Police Department strives to honor each request, but the status of a case or safety concerns may result in a denial.
By filling out the request form, you are submitting an Open Records Request to the Sparta Police Department. We will only provide records that we are the custodian for. As of January 1, 2021 the Sparta Police Department is making the following changes to its public records request process:
- Records requests can be made on our website (spartawisconsin.org), by email (jerickson@spartawisconsin.org), by phone, or in person.
- All reports can be sent via email or provided in hard copy by mail or for pick-up. Reports are $0.25 per page regardless of format, plus postage if mailed.
- Videos are $20.
- Photographs are $10.
- Locating time will be charged at the rate of $19.69 per hour.
- Crash reports can be requested via the DOT website: crashreports.wi.gov
- Pre-payment is required for any request over $5.00 and we will begin processing your request once payment is received. Payment can be made online (spartawisconsin.org), by mail, or in person at the department.
- Any reports or other requested items not picked-up within 7 days will be destroyed.
Requests may take up to ten (10) days to complete.
