Why We Built This Site
Public access in Wisconsin begins with knowing which custodian created the record. Ozaukee County's Clerk holds court files and operates courthouse terminals. The Sheriff retains its own reports and jail records, while each municipal police department keeps the incidents it investigated. Wisconsin DOJ's Crime Information Bureau compiles qualifying statewide criminal-history information, Wisconsin DOC maintains custody and supervision records, and the Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry serves a separate public-notification role. We arrange those official paths with their local contacts, access limits, fees, and request steps in one county-focused reference.
What You Will Find Here
- Record routes: instructions for locating and reading Ozaukee County criminal court cases
- Official checks: distinctions between Wisconsin name-based responses, personal record review, and authorized fingerprint workflows
- Local contacts: verified routes to the Clerk, Sheriff records unit, jail, and city police custodians
- Record correction: the limits of Wisconsin expungement and the separate CIB review process
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference site, not an Ozaukee County or Wisconsin government service. Its role has firm limits:
- We cannot obtain an official criminal record or run an agency background check for a visitor
- We cannot submit a public-record request, expungement filing, or correction request for anyone
- We do not issue certified court documents, police reports, or CIB responses
- We cannot interpret how a charge, warrant, sentence, or expungement rule applies to one person
- We cannot guarantee that an agency's hours, address, fee, or online system will never change
An official copy must come from the office that maintains it, such as the Clerk, the Sheriff, a city police department, or Wisconsin DOJ CIB.
Search Partners
Search boxes on some pages are operated by outside providers. Those providers control their own products, results, terms, and prices. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may produce a referral fee that supports this free reference. We do not control the provider's records or charges, and its output is not an official Ozaukee County or Wisconsin agency record.
