Monterey County Arrest Log Online Retrieval

By Claire Dowell


A Monterey Country Arrest Log can be acquired at the county's local sheriff's office and police department. Daily logs are maintained by both agencies which are also displayed on their respective websites. In accordance to the Public Records Act of the State of California Code 6254, members of the general public have the right view or access arrest logs in Monterey County.

Arrests logs are very informative that a lot of citizens use them when performing background checks on people, which they can use to protect themselves from criminals. Arrests are recorded even if they do not merit an imprisonment. If the arrested person is found guilty of the crime he or she is accused of, that person's log will become available to the public. If that same person is not found guilty of the crime he or she is accused of, the log of the arrest will be kept away from the public but will remain in the archives of the sheriff's office and police department in case they will need it for future reference.

To begin a search, you must first secure the proper request form from the sheriff's office or at the local police department. You can also download from their respective websites. Complete the form with as much information that you know about the arrest log you want to obtain and also include your contact information. Make sure that all the information you provide are accurate because it will be important to the success or failure of your search. There are fees that you need to pay to get the logs, all of which are non-refundable, regardless of the outcome of the search.

It is allowed to request your own arrest logs in Monterey County. If you believe there are inaccuracies, you can call the attention of the custodian of the logs and request to have it corrected accordingly. You can also view or request the logs of other people. However, the rules are less lenient. You have to state a reason why you want the logs of other people and if the sheriff's office or the police department does not think your reason is valid, you will not be granted access to the logs.

Another method requestors can use to obtain arrest logs is by performing an online search. There are websites that are in the business of maintaining and providing the logs to the general public. There are several of such websites, but, although they claim to be, not all of them are capable of putting together high-quality copies of arrest logs. Before you actually use any of the websites, list a few of them that you consider using. Next, perform a history check on them and find out everything you can about them. Check out what kind of feedbacks their past clients have on them.

If you are looking to obtain CA Arrest Records, you can inquire at the Identification Unit of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. They accept requests through either a phone call or via fax. All you need to provide to start a search is a full name and birthday of an inmate.
