NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website has no government affiliation and is not a consumer reporting agency. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
1. What This Website Is
Dodge County Criminal History is an independent reference. It does not store official records, obtain a record for a visitor, conduct an official background check, or submit a filing. It directs readers to Dodge County Clerk of Courts, the Sheriff's Office, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, Wisconsin DOC, and the Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry, along with optional outside tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
A visitor agrees not to:
- Use the website in violation of federal, Wisconsin, or local law
- Harass, stalk, intimidate, or threaten another person
- Use content for a decision regulated by the FCRA
- Attempt unauthorized access to systems or data
- Run automated scrapers, bots, or abusive queries
- Interfere with service availability for other visitors
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked service must not be used to harass, threaten, stalk, intimidate, or discriminate. Wisconsin registry information exists for public safety and community awareness. It must not be used for confrontation, vigilantism, or unlawful discrimination against a listed person.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This website does not create credit reports, background reports, or any other consumer report. Data here or in a linked tool may not be used to decide employment, housing, credit, insurance, licensing, benefits, or another matter covered by the FCRA. A lawful regulated check must come from Wisconsin DOJ or a provider that meets all applicable consumer-reporting duties.
5. No Legal Advice
General explanations about Dodge County records are not legal advice and do not apply law to an individual case. A question about a warrant, charge, sentence, expungement, sealing request, or legal right should be taken to a licensed Wisconsin attorney.
6. No Warranties
Content and access are provided “as is.” No promise is made that information is complete, current, accurate, uninterrupted, secure, or error free. Outside search results may also be incomplete or mismatched. Court cases and agency procedures change, so no page should be treated as an official statement from Dodge County or Wisconsin government.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
External links lead to government sites, legal resources, and independent search providers with separate terms, privacy practices, availability, and charges. Their content and operation are outside this site's control, and visitors should review the destination's rules before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code are owned by Dodge County Criminal History or the relevant content partner. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission, except as law expressly allows.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not responsible for loss or damage arising from use, inability to use, reliance on content, or interaction with a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to defend and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, demands, proceedings, and reasonable costs caused by that visitor's unlawful use or breach of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Wisconsin law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with website use must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Wisconsin. Public access to Dodge County government records remains governed by the Wisconsin Public Records Law, while criminal-history reporting to DOJ is addressed by Wis. Stat. § 165.83.
12. Changes to These Terms
The terms may be revised. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without notice, including when use threatens the website or violates these terms.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. The affected language will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
15. Questions
