NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website is not affiliated with Monroe County, Wisconsin, or any federal agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site points readers to criminal-record resources serving Monroe County. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
Monroe County Criminal History is a private reference site with no government ties. It does not store official records, retrieve a person's file, conduct an official background check, or submit documents for a user.
Its purpose is to identify the public offices and systems that hold Monroe County records, including the Monroe County Sheriff, Monroe County Circuit Court and Clerk of Courts, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, and Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry. It may also connect visitors with outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, you agree not to:
- Use site content for a hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decision
- Harass, stalk, threaten, or target another person with information found here
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated means against these pages
- Violate a federal, Wisconsin, or local law through use of the site
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any site system or account
- Disrupt performance or prevent another visitor from accessing the site
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
You may not use information obtained here or through a linked tool to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also be a crime. This rule is especially important for Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry data governed by Wis. Stat. § 301.45 and the registry's terms. Registry information supports public safety awareness. It does not permit vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. Our advertising partners also do not provide a service designed for decisions regulated by the FCRA. You must not use information from this site or a linked tool to:
- Assess creditworthiness or determine an insurance premium
- Screen a renter or housing applicant
- Make an employment decision
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated decision
Where a lawful purpose requires a check, use the official process required by Wisconsin DOJ's Crime Information Bureau or a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Wisconsin charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule applies to a specific person. Consult a Wisconsin-licensed attorney for legal guidance.
6. No Warranties
All content and features are provided "as is." We make no promise that:
- A partner search result will be complete or accurate
- The site will operate without interruption
- Every fact will remain accurate, complete, and current
- The pages will be free from errors, bugs, or security weaknesses
Criminal records can change when charges are filed or dismissed and when a court grants relief such as expungement. Gaps and delays may occur. No content here is an official statement by the Monroe County Sheriff, a Wisconsin court, or another government body.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to sheriff pages, court systems, state agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search providers. We do not control a destination's availability, content, privacy practices, or fees and accept no responsibility for them. Review the destination's terms before use.
