Green County, Wisconsin, has about 37,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). In Wisconsin the public criminal record is the court file, kept by the Clerk of Circuit Court; the statewide criminal history kept by the Wisconsin Department of Justice is open to anyone who asks. This guide says where each record of a criminal case from Green County is kept and how it is seen.
This guide covers the court file, the statewide record, local arrest records, the crimes behind the records, sex offender registry, records requests and common questions.

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 Green County
The Green County Sheriff's Office and the agencies that report for Monroe, Brodhead, New Glarus, Monticello and Albany keep the arrest records in Green County: 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 Belleville Police Department and the Brooklyn Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Green County, so their arrests are not broken out for Green County here.
Together, the four agencies in Green County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 647 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 Green County arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: Green County in 2025
The four agencies in Green County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 16 violent and 183 property crimes to the FBI that year; the three of them with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 186 crimes in 2025 against 197 in 2024. Each reported crime is a report on file with the agency that took it, and each arrest that follows is the start of a criminal record.
The full crime section, agency by agency, is on the Green County public records guide.
The Sex Offender Registry for Green County
Registered sex offenders living in Green County are listed on the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry, run by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections at wistaysafe.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 Green 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. The county records request page SearchSystems verified is at greencountywi.org/FormCenter/Sheriff-4/PUBLIC-RECORD-REQUEST-FORM-F... (page title: Form Center, PUBLIC RECORD REQUEST FORM & FEES).
