Search Monterey County Arrest Log Online

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.

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.

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.
