Police Departments. In addition to Johnson County Sheriff's Office, several municipal police departments operate within Johnson County, including the Franklin Police Department, Greenwood Police Department, and Whiteland Police Department. Each department serves its respective city, handling local law enforcement duties and coordinating with the Sheriff's Office on major crimes and investigations.
Law Enforcement & Arrests. Johnson County Sheriff's Office, located at 1091 Hospital Road in Franklin, Indiana, is the primary law enforcement agency for unincorporated areas of Johnson County and provides detention services.

Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 6 mine sites inside the county: 2 past producers, now closed, 3 sites producing when the record was made, 1 site with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 15 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; Clay.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area. The DNR subsidence insurance page (www.in.gov/dnr/reclamation/mine-subsidence/subsidence-insurance) says the Division of Reclamation fills subsidence holes but does not pay for structural damage, which is what the fund is for.
Indiana abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about. PublicRecordCenter.com assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions, or consequences arising from the use of this information.
Labor Department file
The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division closed 99 investigations in Johnson County since fiscal 2005 and recorded $1,147,123 in back wages agreed for 656 workers. The county is the one the Census Bureau puts each employer's ZIP code in. Snapshot of April 22, 2026; a case here is a finding by the Division, not a court judgment.

The 25 employers with the most back wages agreed, of 84 on the Johnson County record; 20 employers have a page of their own and open from the table, the rest show their whole record here. The 59 more with smaller records are on the Indiana wage theft records page, whose search answers for every employer in the state.
The Sheriff Records Division asks for the report number when available and enough information about the date, location and people involved to identify the incident. It lists incident reports as free through four pages, then $0.10 per page, and crash reports at $8. Mailed requests go to the Records unit at 1091 Hospital Road in Franklin. The office's forms and payment instructions matter: cash should not be mailed, and an ordinary inquiry should not be assumed to satisfy the agency's stated request-form requirement. A report copy is also different from a complete criminal-history search.
Indiana's Johnson County judicial page places the county in Judicial District 17 with Hancock and Shelby. It links the local rules, case search and court-contact directory. District membership is an administrative grouping, not a single combined clerk's file for every county. Start with the county and the named court on the order, summons or docket entry, then use that office's copy process. When the matter originated in a city court, do not assume the county Circuit Clerk is the only office that can identify the record.
The linked state court directory lists the Johnson Clerk at 5 East Jefferson Street, Franklin, with P.O. Box 368 for mail and phone 317-346-4450. It separately lists Juvenile and Family court work on Hospital Road and city courts in Greenwood and Franklin. Use the directory to distinguish the record custodian from the courtroom or hearing address before delivering an application or asking for a certified order.
The Judiciary's record-request guidance directs case-copy requests to the clerk where the case was heard and transcript requests to the court reporter. MyCase includes eligible civil, criminal, family and appellate information, but its date coverage and document availability vary by court. A missing image may simply mean the document is unavailable online. Obtain the case number and document title from the listing, then ask the clerk for the wanted copy. A docket result should not be substituted for a certified decree or for an official criminal-history product.
The Marriage License Public Lookup contains many Indiana marriage records from 1993 forward, but it expressly says the collection is incomplete. Its county filter means the county that issued the license, which may differ from where a couple currently lives. Begin with a surname and a reasonable year range, then preserve the returned identifying details. Confirm the recorded marriage with the issuing clerk when a certificate is required. This search is an index aid, not an online delivery service for a certified license or marriage certificate.
The state's local health department directory lists Johnson County Health Department at 95 South Drake Road, Franklin, with phone 317-346-4365. Check that office's current certificate counter hours and local price before visiting. A general county-government or courthouse address is not the vital-record counter. Local service is tied to where the birth or death occurred, so a person living in Johnson County may need another county's health department for an event that occurred elsewhere. The official directory provides the current location without relying on an older downloaded form.
The Indiana birth-record explanation distinguishes a standard certified birth certificate from a long-form certified copy. Both are certified products, but the longer form contains additional information and is used for certain overseas, ancestry or other specialized purposes. Ask the receiving institution which product it needs before ordering. The search fee is nonrefundable and includes a certificate only when the record is found. Indiana cannot issue another state's birth record, and a late registration or correction is a separate process from ordering an existing certificate.
The state ordering instructions list a $10 first birth certificate and an $8 first death certificate, with $4 additional copies in the same order. Online and telephone service can add provider or delivery charges. These state-office prices do not establish Johnson County's own counter prices. The state offers mail, online and telephone ordering and does not offer a walk-in counter. Published state processing estimates differ between its main and ordering pages, so confirm the relevant product's current queue rather than treating a single interval as a guaranteed completion date.
The Indiana State Police description identifies Limited Criminal History as an Indiana name-based service whose completeness depends on county participation. It does not include other states' records. First ask the organization requesting the check which product it will accept; an employer's fingerprint requirement is not satisfied by printing a court-name search. A result showing no record is a result within that service's scope, not a finding that no record exists anywhere.
The application linked from the current ISP service page lists $15 for subscribers and $15.70 for credit-card searches. Another ISP fee page publishes a different online total. Check the displayed transaction amount before submitting a paid request, and preserve the returned report according to the application's instructions. The differing official price displays are recorded as a product-pricing question rather than combined into an invented total.

Booking photos are kept by the agency that made the arrest, such as the Johnson County Sheriff or a city police department in Johnson County. Ask that agency for its record.
The Indiana criminal history record comes from the Indiana State Police, Criminal History Services. Online Limited Criminal History search by name, date of birth, race and gender, covering Indiana felony and misdemeanor arrests; the fingerprint based National Full Criminal History gives a fuller report. Fee: $15.70 per record by credit card online; $15.00 per record for IN.gov subscribers.

Deeds and other recorded land documents in Johnson County are kept by the Johnson County Recorder. Property values are set by the county assessor, and tax bills come from the county treasurer, who mails the property tax bill; the county auditor and treasurer calculate the bills together. Source: official state page.
Certified birth and death certificates for Indiana come from the Indiana Department of Health, Division of Vital Records. To buy a birth or death certificate in person, visit the local health department where the birth or death occurred; the state office has no walk in service. In person at the local health department where the event occurred, by mail with State Form 49607 to the address on the form, online through VitalChek (the only IDOH approved online vendor), or by phone at (866) 601-0891. Fee: $10.00 for the first birth certificate and $4.00 for each additional copy (death certificates $8.00 first copy).
Business entity filings are searched with the Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services (INBiz). Indiana has no single statewide business license; a business using an assumed name records it with the County Recorder, and many trades need local licenses.
Give the report number if known, incident date, location and names. Use the agency's stated request procedure in its Records Division instructions.
No. The Records Division publishes separate crash-report and incident-copy terms. Check the exact record product and payment method in the local copy instructions.
The Judiciary directs transcript requests to the court reporter; ordinary case documents go through the relevant clerk. Those routes are separated in the court-record request guidance.
No. Some case documents are not available online, and coverage varies by court. Use the case number to ask the clerk identified through the Johnson judicial directory.
Choose the county that issued the license, not necessarily the couple's current residence. The official lookup instructions also explain that coverage is incomplete.
The Indiana Health Department directory gives 95 South Drake Road in Franklin. Confirm certificate hours and local fees through the official local-health listing.
The state does not offer walk-in service. In-person orders are directed to the local health department for the event county; see the state ordering options.
No. ISP describes it as an Indiana-only service and says completeness depends on county participation. Match the requested check to the product described in the ISP service explanation.
