Incident Reports
Incident Reports are police reports other than accident/traffic crash reports, from traffic warnings to formal investigative reports. All incident reports are reviewed prior to being released. The review process includes redacting (blacking out) confidential information. The requestor will be notified of any redactions or denials. This process takes time; depending on the requested records, this may take up to two weeks, or in some cases, longer.
To request an incident report directly from the Police Department, please use our Public Record Requests portal. Please include: incident date, address, parties involved & nature of call. They are available by mail, email, fax or in person. After your submission to the records request portal, please follow these steps:
1. Check Your Email: You will receive an email from the City of Wausau, WI Public Records containing your record request number.
2. Create an Account: To streamline the process, please create an account in our Public Records Portal (https://cityofwausauwi.nextrequest.com/). This will allow you to easily log in and view your documents once they are released.
3. Communication: Use your Next Request account to communicate with us directly through the Request Portal.
