Monterey County Arrest Records Online Searching

By Claire Dowell


A Monterey County Arrest Log can be obtained by visiting the Monterey County's Sheriff's Office or police department. Members of the general public can place a request at either of the two agencies because they have to abide to the Public Records Act of the State of California Code 6254 which states that all citizens have the right to view or access arrest files.

Arrest logs contain a lot of vital information that citizens can use to protect themselves from criminals. The same pieces of information are useful for background checks. When a person is arrested, an arrest log is automatically recorded even if it does not result to incarceration. If a person is proven guilty of the crime charged against him or her, the log will become available for public access. If it does not, it will not be revealed to the public but it will remain in the sheriff's office or police department's storage of logs for future references.

Before you can start a search, secure the proper request form first. Complete the form accordingly with all the required details. The request form can be acquired from the office of the sheriff's office or police department, or you may download it from their respective database. When completing the request form, do not forget to leave your personal contact details. Be careful with the details that you provide. Make sure that they are up to date because they will be crucial in the success or failure of the search process. Fees apply for every transaction that you make, all of which are not subject to a refund even if the log that you requested for are not found.

You may acquire your own arrest log in the Monterey County. Once you go over the log and you feel that some of the details include in it are inaccurate, you can call the attention of the agency where you got the log and request them to have it evaluated and have the appropriate corrections done. You can also get access to other people's logs but the process will be stricter compared to getting your own log. Stating your reason for wanting to get the log is required. If the sheriff's office or the police department does not find your reason to be valid, they have the right to deny your request.

Arrest logs are also available through online search tools. There are certain search tools that specialized and are permitted to keep and supply the logs to the public. You can search them over the Internet. Expect that most, if not all, of such search tools will refer to themselves as legit providers of arrest logs. The sad truth, however, is that there are only a few of them who can actually be called legit. Prior to determining which search tool to use, write down a short list of search tools you are considering of using and run a history check on them. Gather as much details as you can about them and also check out what feedbacks past clients have on them.

If you want to get CA Arrest Records, you can access them at the state's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, under their Identification Unit. You can either call or fax a request at the office. To place a request, simply provide the full name and the date of birth of the inmate.
