California Arrest Records And Legal Files

By Claire Dowell


Fresno County Arrest Logs are preserved at the county's Clerk of Court. If it is not there, it may be in the county's police department or sheriff's office. Arrest logs are also known as arrest files so do not mistake the two as two different files. Citizens are granted access to the files because they are deemed as part of the public domain.

In order to carry out a search, you have to know first which office has them. Once you figure that out, secure the proper request form and fill it out with the appropriate pieces of information. Do not forget to check if the pieces of information you are providing are accurate or not because that will be an important factor in locating the correct file. Do not forget to bring an ID and to prepare the appropriate fees. Fees can be paid through a certified check or by money order. Fees are non-refundable even if the files you requested for are not located.

Arrests are recorded even if they do not lead to an imprisonment. If the person is found guilty of the crime charged against him or her, the records will become permanent. It will then become part of criminal records and become available for public access. If found innocent of the crime charged against him or her, the records will be expunged.

You can place a request for your own arrest documents. If you spot any detail on the document that is or are inaccurate, you can have it properly updated by the office where you acquire the documents. You can also place a request for other people's documents but it will depend on your relation to them and the reason why you want to get the document. Law enforcers and lawyers are granted access to the documents if they need it for the investigation of a case. Employers and landlords are granted access so they can better screen job applicants and potential tenants. You will also be granted access if you want to check the criminal history of a potential husband or wife.

You can also obtain arrest records from online service providers. There are a number of such that cater to maintaining and providing public records such as arrest records. However, it is important that you carefully pick which service provider you conduct your search on because not all of them are legit. Create short list of the service providers you are considering on using and conduct a brief background check on them. Try going over user reviews so you can get an idea if past clients were satisfied of the kind of records that they were provided with.

These websites are either fee-based or free. Regardless of the type of website you choose to get the files from, you will be provided with the basics of an Arrest Record. To begin a search, simply type the full name of the person who owns the files you want to obtain. If you know other details like a date or a place, include it because it will help increase the probability that your search will become a success.
