The Joliet Police Department Records Section is staffed by civilian employees, a civilian supervisor, and a sworn Technical Services Sergeant. Records Section staff are responsible for the operation of our station front desks, and also provide a variety of services, including:

• Organize, store, and provide documents to authorized legal entities upon request
• Taking police reports
• Providing release documentation for Towed Vehicle Release
• Preparing FOIA information
• General questions 

A majority of Joliet Police Department’s interactions with citizens are documented through police reports. These reports are generated by the Officers, Detectives, and Evidence Technicians at the time of the incident, and additional information may be added later as it becomes available. Many times these police reports become invaluable investigative tools for Detectives, as well as necessary documents for attorneys if a case goes to trial. It is usually unknown what possible importance an individual report may have at the time it is written. Therefore all police reports, regardless of the severity, are treated with the same care and accuracy by Records Section personnel.
