Photographic Files
Photographs taken at Incident and Accident scenes are retained by the Records & ID Bureau. Records & ID Bureau staff provide assistance to Sheriff’s Office staff and the general public to review Photographs. The purchase of copies by the general public is determined by the County Fee Schedule. Please call (330) 643-2176 to determine costs of the photos. Payment must be received before we will process the order.
