Lisle, Illinois, in DuPage County, has about 24,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate).

This guide covers the court file, the statewide record, local arrest records, the crimes behind the records, the prosecutor, sex offender registry, records requests, directory links and common questions.

Criminal Cases in the Circuit Court of DuPage County
A criminal case from Lisle is filed in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, and the court file, kept by the Circuit Clerk, is the record of it that the public may see.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at dupagecircuitclerk.gov (page title: 18TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COURT CLERK DUPAGE COUNTY ILLINOIS), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
Illinois has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
The Illinois Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Illinois is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: conviction information is public under the Uniform Conviction Information Act, through the Illinois State Police. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
To see your own record, the route is a name-based or fingerprint-based request to the Illinois State Police. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at isp.illinois.gov/BureauOfIdentification/MyRecord.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Lisle
The DuPage County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Lisle (filed by the FBI as Lisle Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Lisle: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The FBI's agency list also places two other agencies and two campus police departments in DuPage County (the arrest records guide names each one); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
The Hanover Park Police Department, the St. Charles Police Department, the Bolingbrook Police Department and two more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including DuPage County, so their arrests are not broken out for DuPage County here.
Together, the 27 agencies in DuPage County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 6,532 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Lisle arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: Lisle in 2025
The agency that reports for Lisle had 11 violent and 113 property crimes reported for 2025; each one is a report on file with it, and each arrest that follows is the start of a criminal record.
The State's Attorney for DuPage County
Charges in DuPage County are filed by the State's Attorney, which reviews the arrests of every agency in the county and brings the cases in the Circuit Court of DuPage County.
The office's page SearchSystems verified is at dupagecounty.gov/elected_officials/state_s_attorney (page title: State's Attorney | DuPage Co, IL), phone 630-407-8000, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
The Sex Offender Registry for Lisle
Registered sex offenders living in Lisle are listed on the Illinois Sex Offender Registry, run by the Illinois State Police at illinois.gov. The registry is public and can be searched online.
Registration itself is done in person with the local agency where the registrant lives: the sheriff's office, or the city police in a city with its own department.
Asking an Agency in DuPage County for a Record
An arrest report, a booking record or a local criminal history letter comes from the agency that holds it, not from the court.
Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act a county office must answer a request within 5 business days, with one 5-day extension, and it may charge copying only after the first 50 pages.
