This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull criminal records, run official background checks, remove or correct a record, or accept expungement filings for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office directly.

The sheriff's county records contact is Sheriff Admin/Records, 702 First Avenue South, Fort Dodge, IA 50501, 515-573-1410. The Clerk of Court is across the block at 701 Central Avenue and holds filed criminal cases rather than law-enforcement reports.
