Access to Public Records

It is the public policy of Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act (“APRA”), Ind. Code §5-14-3 et seq., that “[p]roviding persons with information is an essential function of a representative government and an integral part of the routine duties of public officials and employees, whose duty it is to provide the information.” Ind. Code §5-14-3-1. Accordingly, any person has the right to inspect and copy public records during regular business hours unless the records are protected from disclosure as confidential or otherwise exempt under the APRA. Please note that APRA does not obligate public agencies to respond to questions. As such, please do not use this form to submit questions as Fishers will not respond. Should you have questions concerning Fishers, please contact the City where your inquiry will be submitted to the appropriate department. Documents are subject to charges as set forth by City Code 35.30 Fee Schedule and/or Fishers Police Department General Order 53. There is no charge to inspect, review, examine or search for a public document on site. Many public records are available on line at: www.fishers.in.us.

Is this a request for a law enforcement recording?*

Law Enforcement Recordings are defined as an audio or visual recording of “law enforcement activity” captured by a camera or other device that is provided to or used by a law enforcement officer in the scope of the officer’s duties and designed to be worn by a law enforcement officer or attached to the vehicle or transportation of a law enforcement officer. Law enforcement activity includes the following: (1) a traffic stop; (2) a pedestrian stop; (3) an arrest; (4) a search; (5) an investigation; (6) a pursuit; (7) crowd control; (8) traffic control; or (9) any other instance in which a law enforcement officer is enforcing the law. It does not include administrative activities including the completion of paperwork related to a law enforcement activity, or a custodial interrogation conducted in a place of detention as described in Indiana Evidence Rule 617, regardless of the ultimate admissibility of a statement made during the custodial interrogation. A request for a Law Enforcement Recording must contain specific information: (1) The date and approximate time of the law enforcement activity; (2) The specific location where the law enforcement activity occurred; (3) The name of at least one individual, other than a law enforcement officer, who was directly involved in the law enforcement activity.
