Public Records Act requests are not required to be done in writing; however, it can help us identify the information sought and provide more effective and timely assistance to the requestor. Reproduction of paper records costs at least ten cents per page.

Please note that most records related to law enforcement activities are not public records. 

If you are an attorney representing a client or an involved party trying to obtain a copy of your report or your own records, there is another process to request those records. Please fill out the Request for Information form (Spanish version) and return this form with a copy of your valid photo ID or signed authorization from your client to sheriffs_recordsrequest@smcgov.org.

STOP – Please do not hit submit if you are requesting your own records. Instead, please email sheriffs_recordsrequest@smcgov.org
