Records Request
The Sarpy County Sheriff's Office works closely with the Sarpy County Attorney's Office in the release of records. Active investigation reports cannot be released. Properly written requests and/or legal demands (i.e., subpoenas) are needed to complete a records request. Verification of loss reports for theft cases can be released to involved parties and/or his/her insurance company or attorney.
Please follow the link to complete the Sheriff Records Request Form to have a request processed.
Crash Reports

- Do not leave the scene of the crash until released by proper authorities.
- Complete a Driver's Motor Vehicle Accident Report and send it to the Department of Transportation within ten days if any person is injured or killed, or damage appears to exceed $1,000 for any vehicle or piece of property.
