Open Records Requests
The Trophy Club Police Department maintains records generated from police action or response of the Trophy Club Police including arrest, offense, and accident reports. Copies of reports may be obtained by contacting the Police Department during normal business hours. The majority of information contained in police reports is considered public information by law and is available to citizens and the media with some limitations.
Open Records Request Form
An Open Records Request Form is a document that permits Town personnel to more efficiently respond to a request for documents.

- Information pertaining to an ongoing investigation if the release of the information could prevent the arrest and prosecution of a suspect,
