Search Green Bay Recent Arrests
Green Bay Recent Arrests searches usually split between the police department, the municipal court, and Brown County records pages. That is normal. The city page can show a report path, the court page can show a citation trail, and the county page can show crash or records details. If you want a quick name search, start with the police records unit or the court search. If you need a copy, follow the official request path listed below. Using the city and county pages first keeps the search local and clear.
Green Bay Recent Arrests Overview
Green Bay Recent Arrests Overview
The Green Bay Police Department handles police reports and arrest records for the city. The office is at 307 S. Adams Street, Green Bay, WI 54301, and the phone is 920-448-3200. Records requests go through the Records Division, which lists a direct email at recordrequest@greenbaywi.gov and a records phone of 920-448-3329. Hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Green Bay police records are handled as public records, but they still have a process. A Permissible Uses Form under DPPA may be needed, and prepayment is generally required. That means it helps to know what you want before you ask. If you are after a full report, a simple status check, or a booking note, say that up front. Green Bay Recent Arrests searches move faster when the request is narrow and clear.
The city also makes it easy to reach the right office by mail. Requests can go to Records Division, Green Bay Police Department, 307 S. Adams Street, Green Bay, WI 54301. That direct address matters when you need a paper copy and want to keep the request with the office that made the record.
Green Bay Municipal Court and Records
The Green Bay Municipal Court offers an online case search for citation and municipal court records. You can search by Citation ID, Name, Violation Date, Status, Type, or Charge. That is useful when you are tracing a city citation, a parking issue, or an ordinance matter that may sit next to a police call but is not the same thing as a criminal case. Municipal ordinance convictions are civil, not criminal convictions.
The court phone is 920-448-3131, and the court is open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Payments go to Green Bay Municipal Court, 330 S. Jefferson St., Green Bay, WI 54301. If you are trying to connect a citation to an arrest-related event, this page gives you the court side of the paper trail.
The court search can be a fast way to sort a city matter from a county matter. That distinction matters. A Green Bay police record may point to a report, while the court page points to a citation or ordinance case. The two do not always say the same thing, so it is smart to check both.

Green Bay Public Records Help
The city public records page at Green Bay Public Records explains the request process in plain terms. Requests may be oral or written. They must be reasonably specific about the subject matter and time period. The city charges actual, necessary, and direct costs of locating records, and prepayment is required if the cost will top $50. If you want to send a written request, the city lists law@greenbaywi.gov and a mail address at City of Green Bay, c/o Law Department, 100 N. Jefferson Street, Room 200, Green Bay, WI 54301.
That is where Wisconsin public records law becomes practical. Under Wis. Stat. ยง 19.31, the public has a right to inspect records unless a specific limit applies. The state Office of Open Government and State Law Library records guide can help if you need to frame the ask better. The DOJ Crime Information Bureau, WORCS, DOC Offender Locator, and VINELink are all useful state tools when your Green Bay search needs a wider net.
Green Bay Recent Arrests searches work best when you split the job. Use the police page for city reports. Use the municipal court for citation history. Use Brown County for crash reports and county record detail. That keeps the search clean and keeps you on official pages the whole way through.
