Windham County, Vermont, has about 46,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Windham County depends on where the incident happened: the Windham County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Vermont Public Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

What the Vermont Public Records Act Requires
Under the Vermont Public Records Act the agency must answer a request within 3 business days, and it may charge the actual cost of copying, and staff time after the first 30 minutes. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the State's Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
