Records

Traffic accidents are available on request and only when the officer has completed the accident report. We recommend calling ahead so the report can be ready for you to pick up or can be sent by email. Reports requests are typically available within two days.

For accident, theft and vandalism reports please have your insurance company contact us. This will save you a lot of running around as we can give the report directly to the insurance company.

• We only search the records for offenses that occurred within the City of Tiffin.
• We only release records that have been disposed of in court and traffic citations.
• Incident reports are available on cases that are closed and completed by the Officer.
• Name, Date of Birth, and Social Security number are very helpful for records searches.
• If you don’t have a records release form, we have forms available at the Police Station or available for download.
• If you want to request a form to void a parking ticket we have them available at the Police Station or available for download.
• Records checks are typically completed by the next afternoon.

Public Records Video Request Fee

Under House Bill 315, the statutory fee structure allows for an hourly rate of $75 per hour of video produced, with a cap of $750 per video request. The statute defines "actual cost" as encompassing all expenses related to: Reviewing; Redacting, blurring, or obscuring content; Uploading or producing video records; Storage media costs; Personnel time and other associated overhead. To develop a fair and reasonable fee structure, Tiffin Police Department reviewed the wages of the departmental personnel responsible for handling those requests and the resource costs associated with fulfilling those requests and determined the fee schedule for public requests for Body-Worn and Dash Cam footage below.
