police report from 1969 in Indianapolis, Indiana

 I'm sorry to hear about your experience, and I hope this guide helps in navigating the process. Accessing a record can be challenging because the record may be archived, microfilmed, or even destroyed if it exceeds retention periods (typically 10–75 years for incident reports, depending on the case type). At that time, the agency was the Indianapolis Police Department (IPD), which merged into the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) in 2007. Sexual assault reports involving minors (you mentioned being 15) are often treated as sensitive or juvenile records, which may require proof of identity, a court order, or victim status verification for release, and some details could be redacted for privacy.

Under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act (APRA), you have the right to request public records, but agencies can deny access if the record is confidential or no longer exists. Here's a step-by-step guide based on current procedures (as of early 2026):

1. Start with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Records Division

  • This is the primary custodian for old IPD reports. Even for historical records, IMPD handles requests and can direct you if the report has been transferred to archives.
  • How to Request:
    • Submit in person or by mail: Provide as many details as possible (e.g., exact date, location, your name as the victim/reporting party, any known case/report number, names of involved parties, or officers).
    • Address: IMPD Citizens' Service Office, 50 N. Alabama St., Suite E100, Indianapolis, IN 46204.
    • In person: Visit Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–3:45 p.m. (closed noon–12:45 p.m. and holidays). Bring photo ID.
    • By mail: Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a written request.
    • Phone for inquiries: (317) 327-3811 (non-emergency line) or (317) 327-6160 (records-specific).
  • Fees: $5 per report for paper copies. No fee if you're the victim and provide a valid ID.
  • Processing Time: Varies; expect 7–30 days, longer for archived searches. If the report is on microfilm or off-site, it could take weeks.
  • Special Notes: Mention it's a sexual assault report from 1969—they may require additional verification (e.g., birth certificate or affidavit) due to sensitivity. If no arrest/conviction occurred, the report might be limited to incident details.

I didn’t wake up one day fully formed. I became myself through a thousand tiny moments—some loud, some quiet, some I didn’t even notice until years later. But the very first moment that shaped me wasn’t mine alone—it was shared. I came into this world with Lonnie, my identical twin. We were a matched set from the start, but our beginning was anything but simple. We faced twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome before anyone had a name for it, let alone a treatment. There was no protocol, no textbook solution—just a local doctor with steady hands and a gut instinct that saved our lives. His skill, not science, gave us a chance. That moment—before memory, before breath—etched something deep into me: a sense of survival, of gratitude, and of connection that runs soul-deep. Growing up with Lonnie wasn’t just having a ...

The Cacopathy of time is the wind in our sails to a future location causing Cacophony of ideas.

  Why is hate hate, and racism racism? Male creates female, and right is left along the way? Up is still down down under, and death is life after you live. The world of self is a world of others, and others are selves alone. Destruction is construction after you clear the lot. And babies are the future, yet to begin. One can go east until one is in the west. One goes up until he comes down.  Killing babies and destroying your neighbor's house is not sound but Cacopathy. Going back is not sound.  Never fear change, change fears you. You are a creator, and you create. Going around and around will make you dizzy, unless you're a ballerina. Worship women, for they create your tomorrow. A woman who cheats is lost and not yet found. A hungry child will tell you so. If you owe a bill to a bill collector, give him the old washing machine. Not your wife or life or child or wisdom. After a while, they will be washing your clothes. The lord knows your wife needs a break. And for goo...
