Records Section

The Vacaville Police Department Records Section seeks to provide professional service by ensuring the lawful distribution, accuracy, security and completeness of all records. Our staff consists of seven full-time staff members and one part-time reserve officer - five Records Assistants, two Lead Records Assistants, one Reserve Police Officer and numerous dedicated volunteers.

In the quest to provide exceptional customer service, the Records Section is also responsible for providing a variety of other police services:

Fingerprint & LiveScan
We offer rolled prints and LiveScan fingerprinting service. Fingerprinting is performed on Tuesdays between 1:00pm and 4:30pm. No appointment is necessary for rolled prints; the fee is $10 payable in cash, check, or money order. LiveScan processing costs $25. You must schedule an appointment with the Records Section for LiveScan fingerprinting. DOJ and/or FBI fingerprint processing fees are additional and are determined as the fingerprints are submitted to DOJ and/or the FBI. The fee range is generally between $32-$60 and is payable by cash or check at the time your fingerprints are submitted. 

Local Records Check Information
A local records check can be completed for $26 payable by cash, check, or money order at the time you submit the Police Department Records Request form. This report takes three to five business days to complete and can be notarized when desired for no additional charge. Please be prepared to present photo ID at the time you submit the Records Request Form. 

Copies of Reports or Citations
To receive a copy of an incident, traffic collision, or crime report concerning you or your property or a copy of your traffic citation, please complete the Police Department’s Request Form. A report copy costs $12 and a citation copy $2. The copy of your report will not be available the same day of the request. You must pay $12 by check or money order at the time of your request. When you pick up your report, you must present a photo ID. When you request a mailed copy of your report, you must first pay for the report with a check or money order and present a photo ID at the time you complete the request. Please note that not all reports requested are available for release. When a report is not releasable, we will inform you by mail of the reason.  Arrest reports will not be released. A copy will be given to you or your attorney at your first court arraignment. If you do not receive a report copy at your arraignment, contact the DA’s office at (707) 784-6800.

Request to Dismiss Charges
If you currently have a case against another party and the charges are at the District Attorney’s Office, you can complete the proper form. When you have completed the form, submit it to us along with your picture ID for photocopy and attachment to the form. This information will then be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for their review. This is not a guarantee that the charges will be dismissed – it is only a review of such a request. 

Restraining Orders

If you are submitting a restraining order to the Police Department, first complete an information form available at the Records Section. You must have birth dates of all involved parties and an expiration date for the restraining order documented on the information form. After ensuring this information is included on the information form, you may submit the completed form to the Records Section. The information will be entered into the computer system and kept on file for our officers to reference when necessary.
