Clark County Sheriff's Office has launched an online portal for public records requests, replacing older methods under the Washington Public Records Act RCW 42. 56. The portal allows residents to submit requests for documents, with links provided for policies, exemptions, fee schedules, and printable forms. Other agencies like CRESA and Washington State Patrol maintain specific records, with separate request processes available online.
