Does the Yakima County Prosecuting Attorneys Office provide copies of police reports?
Probably not. Police reports generally are not released to persons other than the defendants attorney while a case is pending. After a case is finished, any member of the public may obtain copies of some reports by filing a Public Disclosure request with the involved law enforcement agency. Can I talk to Mr. Zirkle? I think he’s the person who is working on my case. Mr. Zirkle is the elected Prosecuting Attorney of Yakima County, and his name appears on many of our official documents. Although he does handle some matters personally, usually one of the Deputy Prosecuting Attorneys in the office handles criminal and civil cases. When you call, give your name or the name of the defendant to our receptionist, and we will attempt to connect you with the right person.
