Online Free California Arrest Records

By Claire Dowell


If you want to obtain Los Angeles Arrest Records, head to the local police department or the sheriff's office and inquire there. If the records you want to obtain are there, you can place a request there. But if they are not and you do not know where exactly you can find them, you can head to the California Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General. Submit your request there and they will help you find which office has the records you want. There are certain fees required for obtaining the records, all of which are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the search.

When an arrest takes place, it is automatically filed regardless if the arrested individual is imprisoned or not. If the arrested individual is acquitted of the crime that he or she is accused of, the file will be kept away from public access. Some of the details you can find on an arrest file include the name of the arrested individual, nature of crime, time and place where the arrest took place, name of arresting officer, and more.

Any member of the general public are given the right to access arrest records because they are deemed as public records. However, there are guidelines that need to be observed as to how much information can be obtained and how they can be used. You may request your own records if you need it to apply for a job, file an adoption, or you just want to check if the pieces of information included on the records are accurate. If you find any inaccurate information, you can appeal to the agency that has your records to have it fixed.

Acquiring the files of other individuals is also allowed but the process is stricter compared to acquiring your own. There are only a number of people or groups that have the power to do so. Arresting officers are allowed to acquire them if it is necessary for an ongoing investigation. They include arresting agencies, employers, landlords and those wanting to know the criminal background of their potential life partner. Employers are allowed so they can carefully handpick who to hire amongst the job applicants. Landlords are allowed so they can choose only those who are not troublemakers.

You can also get arrest files from authorized online search tools. There a number of search tools that are into such business but that does not mean they can all be trusted. Choosing which search tool to use is no easy task. Initiate a background check on them prior to choosing so you get a better idea if they have a reputation of being a reliable information provider or not.

It you want to retrieve californiaarrestrecords, they are available at the California Department of Justice. Other sources for the documents are websites that specialize in providing them to the public. You can initiate a search if you can provide at least the full name of an individual. However, if you want the search process to not take long, include other vital details such as their date of birth, home address, profession, and more. Also leave your contact information so the Department of Justice will have an idea where to send the documents in case they find it.
