Right to Know Information

Refer to the Allegheny County Office of Open Records to request “Right to Know” information or use the Standard Right-to-Know Request Form or Crime Victim Right of Access Request(PDF, 1004KB).

The Allegheny County Police Department is not a repository for all criminal records within Allegheny County. The police department only houses records of its own calls for service and investigations. Investigative information is not subject to release under the Right to Know Law. RTKL Section 708(b)(16) states that records relating to or resulting in a criminal investigation are exempt from disclosure. Recordings made by law enforcement officers are also not subject to release under the Right to Know Law. Act 22 of 2017 established a separate procedure for requesting law enforcement recordings.
