Questions about official Richland County criminal records belong with the office that keeps the requested file. This private site cannot obtain or change government records. The contacts below route sheriff reports, current jail questions, circuit court papers, and Wisconsin criminal histories to their proper custodians.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve an official record, perform a state check, correct a file, or receive an expungement filing.

  • Current jail status: Richland County Jail at 608-647-2106 or 1-800-544-2106, available 24 hours
  • State criminal history: Wisconsin Department of Justice Crime Information Bureau through the Wisconsin Online Record Check System
  • City police reports: the police agency that created the report, including Richland Center Police for its own incidents

The Sheriff publishes a separate weekday records-counter range of 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in an older FAQ. Call 608-647-8906 before an in-person trip because the current administration page lists 7:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
