ShotSpotter Contract (South Bend Police Department)

Your request falls under the Access to Public Records Act. To request public records, you must fill out a Public Records Request form and submit the form to the Legal Department or the Department having possession of the records. Requests can be made in person or may be submitted by e-mail, regular mail, or fax. Oral requests for records must be converted to the City's written form. If you have prepared a written request on your own, it can be attached to the City's form, but you will still need to complete the top portion of the City's form. Submitting a request for public records is free; however, production of certain records may incur a fee. You may find a link to the city's Public Records (APRA) Request form here<https://southbendin.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/PD-APRA-Form-Fillable.pdf>.

You may return the completed form via email to SBPDRecords@southbendin.gov<mailto:SBPDRecords@southbendin.gov>, via fax at 574-235-7536, or by mail/in person at:

South Bend Police Department
Records Division
701 W Sample Street
South Bend, IN 46601

If you submitted your request in person, you will receive an acknowledgment from the City within twenty-four (24) hours of the City receiving your request. If you submitted your request by regular mail, e-mail, or fax, you will receive an acknowledgment from the City within seven (7) days of the City receiving your request. Indiana law requires only an acknowledgement and not the actual production of records within this specified time period. The City is allowed a "reasonable" amount of time to actually produce all disclosable records to you. All requests will be given our immediate attention; however, the length of time it will take to produce records is dependent upon the nature, volume, and scope of your request.

If you have any questions, you may contact us via phone at 574-235-9212.
