Monterey County Arrest Log Online Database

By Claire Dowell


Residents in Monterey now have several choices as to where to order the Monterey County arrest records. They can either go to a superior court of the county or at the sheriff's office to request for a copy of the arrest report. This has been a big opportunity being extended to the locals because they no longer had to execute the lookup at the state level but to just execute it within the local government of Monterey. Thus, it saves a lot of time and effort going through all the steps at the local stage.

Monterey has also been protected by all the enforcement agencies for the security welfare of all the residents living in the area. Like the Sheriff's office, you are also welcome to do some legal inquiries at the other departments like narcotics, highway patrol, federal bureau of investigation and among others. These are all government instituted organizations which have all the powers to do an arrest and not only that; they are also mandated by law to provide legal assistance in any way to the people in Monterey.

Nowadays, Monterey offers both manual and electronic access. The electronic access is materialized with the legal permission given by the California Rule of Court specifically detailing the provision under the Public Access to Electronic Court Records. This has been carried as it enables to save the time and effort of the general public, plus it is a very efficient system to do on the part of the records offices. In other words, the entire process has to be done online using computers and the Internet.

On the other hand, the manual approach is still very much available these days. In this case, searches are accomplished in two ways including in-person and by mail. For the walk-in process, you will be asked to provide the three basic details about the arrest including the case number, complete name of the arrested individual and his or her personal particulars and the location and date of the said infraction. It would be great if you can supply more information so you can get a more comprehensive result. Payment should be paid at $15.00 per copy; however, if you are going to ask for more copies then you would need to pay more in return.

If you choose to send your application via mail then you must observe the following steps. First, the request must be done in the form of a letter. Second, a records request form should be secured by downloading it from the official website of the clerk of court's office and must be completely filled-out as part of the requirements. Then, lastly you send your application with the service at $15.00 per copy to the clerk of court's office. Cash, checks and money orders will be honored as mode of payment.

There is surely an existing system to do the request. However, the only challenging part is that the results cannot be obtained instantly. It is going to take days before you acquire the data that you needed. Luckily, a modern solution has been born to cater a more immediate service for public consumption. This takes place with the emergence of the Internet where an arrest record can be downloaded anytime and anywhere for an equivalent amount of service cost.
