Wisconsin’s Open Records Law of 1917 guarantees its locals the ability to look for, obtain, and make use of records kept by authorities, which includes arrest records, court public records, marriage and divorce certificates, and records of traffic infractions, and this privilege includes the residents of Holmen. All applicable specifics on the numerous happenings of law enforcement, municipal courts, and local government are contained in these records, and generally are assumed public unless legally redacted. Citizens of Holmen have the ability to better understand their rights because of these laws, and the transparency available from the release of these records maintains both criminals and legislators responsible with regard to their actions, in turn resulting in a more open and free society for all.
