All requests for information will be processed in accordance with Federal, the State of Wisconsin Open Records Law, and WI State statute 19.31-19.39.

​

A fee may be charged for records, and the fee is determined based on the type of record, mailing costs and other fees required by state statutes. 

​

We seek your patience in responding to your request(s).  Given the nature of the Federal Law, we must examine each page of each report and redact (block out) ten (10) different data elements, wherever they are found.  This is a laborious and time consuming process, in addition to our regular public service duties.  Nevertheless, the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department will make every effort to process requests for records within ten (10) business days of receiving the request.
