Publisher’s Note:
According to the Ohio Supreme Court, incident and offense reports, as well as supporting statements and interviews, do not constitute confidential investigatory records, since they initiate an investigation and are not part of the investigation itself. Recordings of 911 calls are also subject to the same rules.
Upon request, police reports must be made available immediately. It is a public record if at least two people have reviewed the document, including the police incident report.
In addition, no information, except for Social Security numbers and information provided by a children’s services agency, can be redacted, including victims’ names, uncharged suspects’ names, and juveniles’ names (with the exception of victims of child abuse).
