Accident Reports:
If you require a copy of an Accident Report (UD-10) where no arrest was made
and you are a party to the accident, you may request this document
by mail or in person at the front office during normal business
hours, Monday-Friday, 8:00-5:00. There is a $5.00 fee for all
accident reports, plus a self addressed, stamped envelope
if the

Incident Reports / Photographs:
If you would like a copy of an Incident Report and/or photographs,
you must complete a Freedom Of Information Act Request Form that can
be attained at the front office during normal business hours or
submit a written letter to the Sheriff’s Office detailing the
records you are looking for, including the date or incident number,
the nature of the incident, and the name(s) of the person(s)
involved. If you are not a party in the report then you must
describe your connection to the incident. This is needed to
determine what might be excluded under the Freedom of Information
Act, which provides protection to the privacy of the individuals
involved. Additionally, the status of any investigation may
determine when a report is available. Written requests will be
responded to within 5 working days or sooner depending on the scope

| Fingerprint
Services: The Wexford
County Sheriff's Office operates on a live scan fingerprint
machine, a machine that digitally scans and transmits fingerprints
to the State, who in return sends the results directly to the
requesting agency.
Costs for prints
may vary, depending on reason for prints. Payment is expected
at time of prints and you must bring your Michigan Driver's License
or Identification Card. Additionally, paperwork indicating the
reason for prints must be presented. In order for prints
to be electronically submitted, the requesting agency (ex: school)
has an identifying number that is required for transmission. Check with your employer for this number.
Bring a notice in writing requesting that you be fingerprinted with
the Agency Number, Agency Information, your Name and Information,
and Reason for prints.
Typically, the
machine is available Monday-Friday between 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM,
excluding holidays; however, the machine is portable and is
occasionally out of the office. Persons are advised to
call ahead to ensure the machine is available and to inquire about
fees. We DO NOT have change. Exact cash, check, or
money orders only.
Some Known Fees are:
For School Employment, exactly $64.25
