The Records Division is staffed by four clerks and is responsible for the orderly keeping and efficient processing of all department incident reports, firearm permits and registrations, fingerprints for identity purposes, background checks, sex offender registrations, accident reports, jail payments, traffic citations and requests.

Once a report is received, the Records Division’s function is to enter case information into the computer.  This allows Sheriff’s Office personnel future access to specific information in each case.  It also allows incident and accident reports to be retrieved and made available upon request to the public through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
