Public Records Request

The Marion Police Department is committed to providing public access to records in a manner that is consistent with the Ohio Public Records Act (ORC § 149.43). If you are in need of a record, please visit our online request portal at https://cityofmarionpdoh.nextrequest.com/. Crash reports can be found online at ODPS here: https://ohtrafficdata.dps.ohio.gov/CrashRetrieval.

There may be certain costs associated with your request. The cost of a record depends on a multitude of factors that may include the fixed medium on which it’s provided, and/or the time required to complete necessary redactions. Below is a list of the costs associated with record requests with Marion PD.

  • Copies: $0.05 (after 25 pages)
  • CD/DVD/Photographs: $0.19 – $1.47 (dependent of DVD size needed)
  • Body camera & in-car videos: Maximum of $75 per hour of video produced with a cap of $750 per video record. You will be provided with an estimated cost based on the total minutes of video requested and will be required to pay before the request is started. If the actual cost exceeds the estimated cost, you will be charged the difference, up to 20% higher than the estimated cost, after advanced notification. (effective 4/9/2025)
