Why We Built This Site
Wisconsin favors broad public access, yet custody still controls where a request goes. The Marathon County Sheriff keeps Sheriff reports and jail material. The Circuit Court and Clerk hold filed charges, docket events, judgments, and official court files. The Crime Information Bureau operates the statewide repository, while Wisconsin DOC manages corrections data and the public registry. This site organizes verified contact details, request routes, search portals, access limits, and published fees so those layers remain clear.
What You Will Find Here
- Local record routes: how Marathon County court cases, arrests, bookings, and city records reach the correct custodian

- Office information: verified contacts for the Sheriff, Clerk, jail, police departments, and Wisconsin systems
- Access limits: how Wisconsin expungement, confidentiality, and public-record rules affect what appears
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site with no affiliation to Marathon County, a Wisconsin court, law-enforcement agency, or state office. Its role has firm limits:
- We cannot run an official background check or pull a criminal record for anyone
- We cannot file expungement petitions, records requests, or any other paperwork on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any criminal record, court document, or rap sheet
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific charge or case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that a phone number, fee, office hour, or address has not changed since verification
Only the Sheriff, court, police custodian, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, or other originating office can issue its official record.
Search Partners
Third-party providers power some search boxes. They operate their own products and choose their prices. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may produce a referral fee that supports this free resource. We do not set partner charges, assemble partner results, or control the records they return.
