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 Lake Hallie
The Chippewa County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Lake Hallie (filed by the FBI as Lake Hallie Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Lake Hallie: 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 Eau Claire Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Chippewa County, so its arrests are not broken out for Chippewa County here.
Together, the five agencies in Chippewa County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,742 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 Lake Hallie arrest records.
