Wisconsin Criminal Records

According to the official website of Wisconsins Department of Justice, Wisconsin is an open records state. This means that most of the Wisconsin criminal records maintained by the state and local government agencies are open to the general public for inspection. This is provided by the Wisconsin statute 19.35(3) and as such, all adult Wisconsin criminal records in the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) database are included in the open record rule.
However, exemptions to the rule apply. Juvenile Wisconsin criminal records are confidential under s. 938.396. Thus, Wisconsin criminal records of crimes committed by minors will not be disclosed or revealed to the general public unless the statute says otherwise.
The pieces of information in the CIBs Wisconsin criminal records history database are based on submissions. Each police department is required by Wisconsin state and federal law to file records of arrests. Since 1971, Wisconsin law enforcement agencies were required under s. 165.84(1) to submit arrest fingerprint cards for offenses designated in s. 165.83(1)(c). For offenses other than those listed in x. 1365.83(1)(c), the law enforcement agencies receives the right to take other arrest fingerprint cards, in which case, the CIB is still required by law to accept these.
