Records Department

The Records Department provides direct services to the public as well as support to the entire staff of the Fruita Police Department.  All support services and work processes of the Records Department impact the day-to-day operations of the agency. The front counter is often a citizen’s first point of contact with our agency, whether on the phone or in person. The degree of knowledge, courtesy and efficiency extended to each person or situation leaves a lasting impression and may affect the outcome of a difficult situation.  The Records Department is also responsible for statutory obligations, such as release and storage of records, and discovery to the District and City Attorney.
