Redgranite Criminal History Checks
Choose the first office by record type. Redgranite Police Department, or RPD, creates village incident and arrest reports. Village Hall can route ordinance, citation, and public-record questions. A custodial arrest moves to the Waushara County Jail in Wautoma, and a state criminal charge becomes a Waushara County Circuit Court file. Redgranite Correctional Institution enters the picture only for state prison custody, not for a routine new village booking.
- Contact RPD for the local incident or arrest report and review its posted Open Record Policy.
- Use the police phone, fax, address, or village clerk contact because no electronic request portal was found.
- Ask Village Hall which court is named on a village ordinance or citation matter.
- Call the county jail for current local custody and search WCCA for filed state charges.
- Use Wisconsin DOC only for a person in state prison or on state supervision, and WORCS for a broader state repository response.
A Redgranite record check may need several steps. Confirm names and dates at each stage, and read the court disposition before calling an allegation a conviction.
Four Redgranite Record Custodians
Four official custodians divide Redgranite records by function. RPD holds the source police report. Waushara County Jail holds local booking and custody information. The Clerk of Circuit Court holds filed state case records. Wisconsin DOC holds state prison and public supervision records. Wisconsin DOJ's Crime Information Bureau is a fifth statewide layer when a formal criminal-history response is needed, but it still does not replace the underlying police or court file.
| Record | Custodian | Best First Channel |
|---|---|---|
| Incident or RPD arrest report | Redgranite Police | 920-566-2820 or posted policy |
| Current local booking | Waushara County Jail | 920-787-6591 |
| Filed state charge | Waushara Circuit Court | WCCA, then clerk |
| State prison custody | Wisconsin DOC | Person in Our Care or Client Search |
The record's subject matter, not the word “Redgranite,” determines the correct office. This is the most useful safeguard against calling the prison for a village report.
Records at Redgranite Police Department
The official Redgranite Police page lists an RPD Open Record Policy and the department's direct contacts. The Police Department is at 161 Dearborn Street, Redgranite, WI 54970. Call 920-566-2820 or fax 920-566-1060. Chief Kyle Tarr is the current official named by the village and the county's Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee.
No public name search, arrest blotter, app, electronic request portal, or form with exposed entry fields was found on the village site. Do not invent requirements, fees, or a turnaround time. A requester can identify the event date, incident, and record sought to help staff locate an existing file, but should ask RPD what the current policy requires. Calling before an in-person visit is prudent because the site does not promise that a police records employee is always at the counter.
The RPD source page shows the village police information used for local record routing.
This official page is the sound starting point for an RPD report, rather than a commercial arrest site.
Redgranite Police Record Request Channels
RPD's posted Open Record Policy is a document resource, not an interactive database. The practical channels are telephone, fax, and the Dearborn Street address. The village clerk adds another routing option at clerk@vl.redgranite.wi.gov or 920-566-2381. Village Hall mail goes to P.O. Box 500, Redgranite, WI 54970.
The published resource inventory is short but useful:
| Open Record Policy | RPD's posted policy document; no name-search fields |
|---|---|
| Police Phone | 920-566-2820 |
| Police Fax | 920-566-1060 |
| Village Clerk | clerk@vl.redgranite.wi.gov; 920-566-2381 |
| Online Portal | No official interactive request or records search was located |
Ask for the lowest practical scope if a request could cover many files or media. The official site did not publish a fee or response estimate in the inspected text, so obtain those details from the custodian.
For an older Redgranite police report, begin with the same direct channels. Give RPD the best known date, location, incident type, and involved name, then ask whether the file remains with police or has moved under a retention rule. Those details help identify an existing record without asking the village to create a summary. If police directs the request to the clerk, use the published village email or phone and keep the original scope intact.
Booking and Arrest Records in Redgranite
An RPD arrest starts a police record, but a custodial booking moves outside the village system. Waushara County Jail at 430 E. Division Street in Wautoma handles local custody. Call 920-787-6591 for current custody and 920-787-6595 for county booking-record requests. No official public Waushara County jail roster was located, so a blank commercial listing has no official value.
When a Redgranite arrest is too new for WCCA, first ask the jail about custody. Request the event report from RPD. Then search WCCA after the prosecutor has had time to file or decline charges. A filing delay can explain why a known arrest does not yet produce a court case. A no-result WCCA screen should not be treated as proof that the police event did not occur.
The broader Waushara County arrest search describes the county request and custody channels in more depth.
Redgranite Prison Records Are Different
Redgranite Correctional Institution, often called RGCI, is a Wisconsin DOC prison in the village. It is not the Waushara County Jail. It does not hold the ordinary pretrial booking record from an RPD arrest. Someone sentenced to state prison can be searched through DOC's Person in Our Care or Client Search. Someone newly booked after a village event belongs with the county jail channel.
This local distinction matters because a search for “Redgranite inmate” naturally returns prison material. The result can be accurate yet answer the wrong question. DOC custody concerns a state sentence. County custody can involve a new arrest, a pending case, or another local hold. RPD's report remains a separate source in both situations.
The village's justice footprint therefore spans very different levels of government. RGCI's address in Redgranite does not make its prisoner files village records, and the prison does not become the receiving jail for ordinary police arrests. Likewise, RPD cannot supply the full state prison history. Ask whether the person is newly detained, facing a Waushara County case, or serving a state sentence before selecting a locator.
Do not merge the systems: RGCI is a state prison, while Waushara County Jail holds local bookings and RPD retains village police reports.
The Redgranite Municipal Court File
No separate Redgranite municipal court page or public municipal case portal was found on the official village site. Start an ordinance or citation question with Village Hall or RPD. Ask which court and county appear on the citation. That answer is more reliable than assuming all village-issued matters stay in a Redgranite court file.
| Local Starting Point | Redgranite Village Hall or Police Department |
|---|---|
| Likely Local Scope | Village ordinance or citation questions |
| Public Search | No separate village case-search portal located |
| State Charges | Waushara County Circuit Court through WCCA and the county clerk |
| Copies and Fees | Ask the office named on the citation; no village schedule was located |
A village ordinance matter is not automatically a criminal conviction. A state misdemeanor or felony is prosecuted in Circuit Court. Verify the case type and read the final outcome.
When Redgranite Arrests Miss WCCA
WCCA covers filed Wisconsin circuit-court cases, not every police contact. If an expected Redgranite record is absent, check spelling, event date, issuing agency, and the time since the incident. Call RPD for the source report and the jail for present custody. The prosecutor's charging decision may not have produced a case yet, or the matter may be a village citation rather than a state criminal charge.
Once a case is filed, narrow WCCA to Waushara County and compare middle name, date of birth when displayed, case date, and charge information. Common-name matches are not identity proof. Older documents or items not posted online can be requested from the Waushara County Clerk of Circuit Court at 380 S. Townline Road, 920-787-0441.
How Redgranite Records Reach the County
RPD creates the village incident or arrest report. The county jail creates a booking record when custody follows. The district attorney reviews potential state charges, and Waushara County Circuit Court creates a case file after filing. Qualifying fingerprints and dispositions may then feed Wisconsin DOJ's Centralized Criminal History database. A prison admission later creates a DOC custody record.
Record flow: Redgranite Police › Waushara County Jail and prosecutor › Waushara County Circuit Court › Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau › Wisconsin DOC when a prison sentence follows
These stages can update at different times. The source police report is best for event detail. The court file is best for charges and disposition. A DOJ response connects fingerprint-supported history, while DOC answers state custody and supervision questions.
Redgranite Records and Population Context
Wisconsin's official January 1, 2025 estimate gives Redgranite 2,053 residents, eight fewer than the 2020 census count of 2,061. The state demographic estimate accounts for institutional populations. That detail is vital here because RGCI contributes a large adult institutional component. The village total should not be treated as though every counted person were part of a neighborhood household base.
No accessible official RPD annual crime table was found. Use the Wisconsin DOJ UCR source or FBI Crime Data Explorer, then disclose agency, year, population, and coverage. Do not blend prison incidents into village police counts or infer a crime rate from the prison's presence. Redgranite's quarry history and state institution shape its identity, but neither supplies a substitute for agency-level crime data.
Redgranite Record Access Rules
Wisconsin Public Records Law favors access to government records. A requester need not state a motive or live in Wisconsin. The request must reasonably describe an existing record or record group. RPD and Village Hall need not create a new record or answer a research question. Protected victim, juvenile, medical, informant, security, and active-investigation details may be redacted or withheld after the legal balancing test.
Key Statutes:
Wis. Stat. § 19.31 states Wisconsin's policy of broad public access.
Wis. Stat. § 19.35 sets request rights and limits fees to authorized direct costs.
Wis. Stat. § 19.37 supplies enforcement options for improper denial or delay.
A response is due as soon as practicable and without delay, not on a fixed statutory day count. Ask the custodian about scope, delivery, and cost because Redgranite's inspected sources did not state a local fee schedule or standard turnaround.
Redgranite Village Record Routing
Village Hall shares the 161 Dearborn Street address and provides a general route when the correct Redgranite custodian is unclear. Its listed hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., unless otherwise posted. Call 920-566-2381 before visiting for a police-specific record because the site does not promise constant records-staff availability.
Redgranite remains a small village government with its own police department, while the jail, prosecutor, and Circuit Court sit in Wautoma. Its name comes from the area's stone and quarry history, but the state correctional institution is now the place's most visible justice-system feature. That local mix makes precise wording important. “Redgranite record” could mean a village document, an RPD report, or a DOC institution record, and each belongs to a different custodian.
The official Redgranite Village Hall page shows the municipal source and building context for these requests.
Village Hall can help identify the office behind a citation or municipal file, but county and state custodians still control their own records.
