NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to route readers to criminal-record resources for Adams County and Wisconsin. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently from government. It stores no official criminal files and cannot retrieve records, perform an official check, or submit documents for a user.
It identifies official custodians for Adams County records, including Sheriff Administration, Wisconsin Circuit Court, the Wisconsin Department of Justice Crime Information Bureau, and the Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is permitted only if you agree not to:
- Violate federal, Wisconsin, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
- Use website material for a lending, insurance, housing, or employment decision
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system
- Deploy a bot, scraper, or automated collection tool
- Disrupt access or impair website performance
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this website or a linked tool must not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Such conduct may be criminal. Wisconsin registry information exists for community safety, not confrontation or vigilantism, and must be used within the conditions of the Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry and applicable law.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produce no credit report, consumer report, or official background check. Advertising partners are not presented as services for an FCRA-covered purpose. Data from this website or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a renter or housing application
- Set insurance terms or assess credit
- Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated decision
A check for an FCRA-governed purpose must come from an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider or official process.
5. No Legal Advice
Website content is not legal advice. General Adams County record information cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule applies to one matter. Consult a licensed Wisconsin attorney for that analysis.
6. No Warranties
All material is supplied "as is." No warranty is made that:
- Published information is always complete, accurate, or current
- Service will remain available without interruption
- Pages contain no bug, error, or security flaw
- An outside search result is complete or correctly matched
Criminal records change as charges are filed, resolved, restricted, or expunged. Gaps can occur. Nothing published here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to official offices, court portals, legal resources, state agencies, and outside services that we do not control. We are not responsible for a destination's content, availability, prices, or data practices. Its own terms govern use after a visitor leaves this website.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Adams County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, modifying, or building upon that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damage arising from website use or reliance on information found here or through a linked service.

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims or demands caused by your website use or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
