The county local police department submits their Illinois police records to the Illinois State Police Department or ISP for filing. The public is allowed access to public records under the FIA or Freedom of Information Act. These records pertain to reports or records that include the government’s transactions with the public. Although records are accessible, there are some records where access is restricted. These records include juvenile records and those records that were sealed and expunged. Criminal records that are sensitive in nature or where no arrests were made are not allowed for public access. However, criminal records that result in conviction are available and can be accessed at the Illinois Bureau of Identification.
