The Records Section is responsible for maintaining all offense/incident reports, traffic citations and arrest reports. Once received, these reports are indexed to meet State criteria for the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) System. This indexing process includes the codification of all crime, arrest, and victim information, as well as costs associated with stolen property and a host of miscellaneous information. Local criminal history files are also maintained by the Unit.

Anyone wishing to obtain a public record, or obtain a photocopy, may do so by contacting the Records Section Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Requests for copies of reports can be made by coming to the Sheriff's Office located at 9896 Murray Ridge Road, Elyria, Ohio 44035
