The Wisconsin Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Wisconsin is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Wisconsin Online Record Check System lets anyone run a name-based check, through the Wisconsin Department of Justice. 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.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Caledonia
The Racine County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Caledonia (filed by the FBI as Caledonia Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Caledonia: 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.
Together, the six agencies in Racine County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 4,220 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 Caledonia arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: Caledonia in 2025

Asking an Agency in Racine 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 Wisconsin Public Records Law a county office must answer a request as soon as practicable and without delay; the law sets no number of days, and it may charge the actual cost of copying and locating, with no charge for the first $50 of locating.
