California Arrest Records


by Ben Kingsley


Maintaining the safety and security of a widely populous state like California is definitely not an easy task. Police and other arresting individuals or groups definitely have their hands full with their duty to protect innocent civilians. In an attempt to improve the safety and security in California, the government has given the general public the right to procure arrest files. Arrest files are maintained at a countywide, statewide and nationwide level. If you do not know where to begin your search, you can go to the office of the Public Records Ombudsman and submit a request. If you are after Sonoma Arrest Records, you can head to the office-in-charge of the county's arrest files which is at the Superior Court of California County of Sonoma.

Any member of the general public has the right to access arrest documents because they are part of public records but certain guidelines must be followed. Procuring the documents is not for free as there fees for them which you can pay by including a money order or a check. Usually, the return period of requests in government offices is a couple of weeks. In case the documents you requested are not located, your payment will not be refunded. And if the documents are located, but the case is still ongoing, you will not have your hands on them as of yet.

An arrest document is part of a criminal document. People that run background checks on other people can find a lot of useful details from criminal documents. Some of the details that you can find include the name of the arrested person, physical attributes, when and where the offense took place, description of the offense, and other similar details.

When a person gets arrested, an arrest file is filed under the offenders name even if the arrest did not result to an imprisonment. Fortunately, if the offender is proven not guilty or is cleared of the violation that he or she is accused of, the files can be sealed so as to protect the reputation of the involved person.

Arrest documents are usually kept at where it was originally filed but you can look for them in other places as well such as in an online search tool that deals with providing the documents to the public. There are various search tools that are available on the Web, it is just a matter of determining which one can help you best. Also, it is a must that you investigate the background of the search tool you intend to use so you can check of the details you are getting are based on facts.

Retrieving Arrest Records is a great way to gather pieces of information that can help you refrain from tagging along or being friends with people that might endanger yours and your family and friends' lives. The files are a good source of information but you should never use them to hurt, destroy, or damage other people's lives or else you will be punished by the law.
