(From the Findlay Police Department)

The City of Findlay Police Department has partnered with CivicPlus to implement its NextRequest solution, a webbased platform designed to simplify and modernize public records management. The platform enables residents to easily submit public records requests, track their status, and access records – ultimately promoting greater transparency and government accountability. By automating workflows and streamlining request processing, NextRequest makes it faster and easier for staff to respond to requests and honor FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) and state-specific public records laws.

All records requests for the Findlay Police Department will be directed to our on-line request portal at findlaypoliceoh.nextrequest.com/requests/new. This link can also be found on the Findlay Police Department Records Request page at findlayohio.gov/government/city-departments/police/records.

“The Findlay Police Department is committed to transparency and accountability. By implementing CivicPlus’ NextRequest platform, we are giving our community a modern and efficient way to access public records. This system will help us streamline workflows, strengthen compliance, and ensure requests are handled quickly and accurately— building greater trust between the department and the residents we serve.” Chief James Mathias
