Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest and crime counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026. Every office link was opened and checked against the office's own site between September 23, 2026 and September 28, 2026.
Clark County, Wisconsin, has about 35,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Clark County depends on where the incident happened: the Clark 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 Wisconsin Public Records Law 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.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Clark County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Clark County that is the Clark County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The Colby-Abbotsford Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Clark County, so its arrests are not broken out for Clark County here.
Reports from the Clark County Sheriff's Office
The Clark County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 33 violent and 71 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 63 arrests for 2024.
Its reports come from its records unit, reached through the office at (715) 743-3157. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its jail page, at clarkcountywi.gov/sheriff-mobile-menu (page title: Sheriff Mobile Menu | Clark County WI), phone (715) 743-3157, 517 Court St, Room 308, Neillsville, WI 54456, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 28, 2026.
