The Shelburne Police Department is responsible for maintaining all police and dispatch records.
It is important to note that not all police records are public records. We are governed by the Vermont Public Records Law, which allows for various exemptions. Link to the Vermont Public Records Law and see section (c)(5) and Shelburne Public Record Policy.
To request records, please complete the Record Request Form. Upon receipt and review of your request, the Custodian of records will respond within a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed three (3) business days. If the Custodian denies your request, you have the right to appeal a determination that a record is exempt to the Chief of Police. If the Chief of Police denies your request, you can appeal a determination to the Town Manager. You may appeal to the Superior Court according to 1 V.S.A. 319 if all levels have denied your request.
