Easton Police Department Records

Police records in Easton, Pennsylvania are primarily maintained by the Easton Police Department, which serves the city. Related records may also be held by Northampton County agencies, including the Sheriff’s Office, the county courts, or the 911 center, depending on the event. Records may include arrest records, incident reports, accident reports, traffic accident reports, call logs, citations, booking records, and case-related documents. Members of the public may request records, but release depends on Pennsylvania public records rules, agency policy, and the type of record. Access may be limited when records contain private information, involve juveniles, relate to an active investigation, are protected by court order, or are otherwise exempt from disclosure.

How to Request Police Records in Easton

To request police records in Easton, contact the Easton Police Department records unit or city open records office. Requests may usually be made in person, by mail, email, phone, or through an online records or Right-to-Know request form if available. For county-held records, contact the appropriate Northampton County office. Be ready to provide the incident date, report number if known, location, names of involved persons, and the type of report requested, such as an accident report, incident report, or call log. Copy fees may apply for printed pages, certified copies, audio or video files, mailing, or digital media. Under Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law, agencies generally have five business days to respond, though they may take an allowed extension when more time is needed. The agency may contact you by phone, email, or mail if it needs clarification or payment before release. Some records may be redacted, delayed, or denied, particularly those tied to open investigations, juvenile matters, protected personal information, or court restrictions, which is normal under Pennsylvania public records law.
