State Criminal History Tools for Westfield
Two state-level tools help you search criminal history for Westfield residents or anyone in Indiana. These go beyond what the local police department and county clerk can offer. The state systems pull data from all 92 counties.
The Indiana State Police Limited Criminal History check is the official state record search. It costs $16.32 and checks the ISP criminal history database.

MyCase at public.courts.in.gov/mycase is the free option. It shows court case records from counties that use the Odyssey system. Hamilton County is on this system, so Westfield cases appear.

For Westfield criminal history, MyCase is the best free starting point before you decide if you need a paid ISP check.
Criminal History Access in Westfield
Indiana law makes most criminal history records in Westfield available to the public. Under IC 5-14-3, court records and police reports are generally open. You do not need to state a reason to look up records. The Hamilton County Clerk, the Westfield Police Department, and the state databases all follow the same rules about what you can see.
Some records are off limits. Juvenile criminal records are sealed and not available to the public. Cases that have been expunged under IC 35-38-9 are removed from all public databases, including the county and state systems. If someone had a Westfield criminal case expunged, it will not appear in any search. The clerk's office and police department are barred from sharing those records.
Active criminal cases in Westfield are fully public while they move through the court system. You can track hearings, motions, and outcomes through MyCase or the county clerk. Once a case is resolved, the records stay public unless a judge orders them sealed or the person qualifies for expungement. Indiana's expungement law under IC 35-38-9 allows certain offenses to be cleared from the record after set waiting periods.
Note: Records requests under IC 5-14-3 can be denied only for specific legal reasons listed in the statute.
