You can search by name, case number, or citation. Results show the charges, court dates, and disposition once a case is resolved. No account is needed to search, though some detailed document views may ask you to log in.
Cases usually appear in MyCase within a few business days of being filed with the Rockville courthouse. If your citation is brand new and not showing up yet, give it a few days. If it still doesn't appear, call the clerk at 765-569-5132 to verify the filing status. Sometimes there are short delays, especially around holidays or when the court has a heavy case load.
For older Parke County traffic records that predate the current case management system, an in-person or written request to the clerk is the way to go. Older paper records may not be digitized, and the clerk can tell you what is available and how to request a certified copy.
