| How Do I Look Up A Police Report In Milwaukee |
Hunting High and Low (Not Literally, Please!)
Web Sleuthing: Forget trench coats and magnifying glasses, Milwaukee keeps things modern. You can request a report by email at mpdopenrecords@milwaukee.gov. Just be as specific as possible about the report you need – dates, locations, case numbers are your best friends here.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
Brick and Mortar: Feeling more old-school? The Milwaukee Police Department Open Records Office is your oyster. Head down to 2333 N. Teutonia Ave. on a Tuesday or Thursday between 8 AM and 3 PM. Cash or check only, so ditch the credit card and channel your inner detective with a fat wad of bills (or a well-written check, whatever floats your boat).
QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.
Word on the Street (But Officially): There are some things reports just won't tell you. For an ongoing investigation, for instance. But if you're looking for general crime info, the Milwaukee Police Department website has you covered.
Tip: Break down complex paragraphs step by step.
The Nitty Gritty (Because We All Like a Little Detail)
- Be prepared to pay: Reports come at a small price – $0.25 per page or a CD, and $0.50 per color photo. Hey, gotta keep the city running!
- Patience is a virtue: Requests can take a few days to process, so don't expect instant gratification.
- Think like a detective: The more specific you are about the report, the faster you'll get it.
