Questions about official LaSalle County criminal records should go to the agency that maintains the requested document. The contacts below route court files to the Circuit Clerk, Sheriff reports and county booking material to the Sheriff’s Records unit, current custody questions to the jail, and statewide criminal-history information to Illinois State Police. LaSalle County Criminal History is a private reference site and cannot receive filings, issue records, or act for a government office.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve an official record, conduct an official check, correct a government file, or accept an expungement or sealing petition.

Need an Official Record?

Choose the custodian based on the document, not just the person’s name. LaSalle County offices at the Etna Road complex generally operate Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but confirm current counter access before traveling.

  • Court case files: use the criminal court case record instructions or call the LaSalle County Circuit Clerk Traffic and Criminal Division at 815-434-8271. Its counter is at 707 E. Etna Road, Room 141, Ottawa, IL 61350.
  • Sheriff incident and county records: contact the LaSalle County Sheriff Records unit at records@lasallecountyil.gov or 815-434-8379. The public counter is at 707 E. Etna Road, Ottawa, IL 61350.
  • Booking and current county custody: call the LaSalle County Jail at 815-434-8383. Jail requests may also be emailed, mailed, faxed to 815-431-4962, or delivered to the jail FOIA officer at 707 E. Etna Road.
  • State criminal-history information: use the Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification. CHIRP supplies the public conviction-information process, while Illinois-licensed live-scan vendors handle Access and Review fingerprints for a person checking their own fuller Illinois record.

  • Expungement and sealing: file eligible Illinois forms with the circuit court that handled the case. The Circuit Clerk can provide filing and copy information but cannot give legal advice.

For most county-held public-record requests, the direct starting point is LaSalle County Sheriff Records, 707 E. Etna Road, Ottawa, IL 61350, 815-434-8379. Describe the record, date range, location, known report or case number, and preferred format so the office can locate the correct material.
