Questions about an official DeWitt County record belong with the government office that created or maintains it. The correct contact depends on whether the request concerns a filed court case, a sheriff incident report, current jail custody, an Illinois repository response, or expungement and sealing paperwork. This private resource cannot access agency systems or issue records. The routing below identifies the DeWitt County and Illinois offices that handle the most common requests, including the Circuit Clerk at the courthouse and the Sheriff's Office and jail in Clinton.

This Is Not a Government Office. This is a private reference resource. It cannot retrieve criminal records, conduct official checks, correct or remove a record, or receive an expungement or sealing filing.

Need an Official Record?

Send the request to the custodian that holds the original DeWitt County or Illinois record. These routes cover the records most often sought:

  • Court case files: use the criminal court case records resources or contact the DeWitt Circuit Clerk, 201 W. Washington Street, Clinton, IL 61727, at 217-935-7750 or 217-935-7761; published counter hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
  • Arrest, incident, and local sheriff records: contact the DeWitt County Sheriff's Office, 101 W. Washington Street, Clinton, IL 61727, at 217-935-9507; administrative hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
  • Current jail custody and bond: call the DeWitt County Jail's 24-hour line at 217-935-2913; jail staff do not give charges or court dates by phone.
  • County FOIA requests: contact the DeWitt County State's Attorney, the sheriff's published county FOIA officer, at 201 W. Washington Street or 217-935-7810.
  • Illinois criminal-history information: use the Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification and its CHIRP or licensed live-scan vendor route, depending on the record needed.
  • Expungement or sealing: use Illinois Courts approved forms and file eligible DeWitt matters with the DeWitt Circuit Clerk.

The Sheriff's Office does not advertise a separately named records division, so the verified county counter is the DeWitt County Sheriff's Office at the address above. Reports created by Clinton Police or Farmer City Police should be requested from that city agency rather than assumed to be complete in the sheriff's files.
