How county arrest records work
In the United States, the vast majority of arrest activity is recorded at the county level. When a person is arrested anywhere within a county — whether by a city police department, the county sheriff's office, or a state trooper — they are typically booked into the county jail and entered into the sheriff's records system. That booking creates the initial arrest record: name, date of birth, charges, arresting agency, booking photo, bond amount, and court date.
Each county publishes some subset of those records to the public, but the format varies wildly. A large urban county like Los Angeles or Cook County may publish a daily inmate roster with mugshots and bond amounts on a public website. A small rural county may only release records by walk-in request at the courthouse during business hours. Some counties publish 24-hour booking logs; others require a formal records request under their state's sunshine law.
ArrestVault organizes this fragmented landscape county-by-county. For each of the 3,235 counties and county-equivalents in the United States, you'll find a structured page that explains who handles bookings, where records live, and what to do if a record concerns you or someone close to you. Where applicable, we also surface court record access points (clerk of court / court of common pleas), state corrections department inmate locators, and the relevant state public records statute so you understand your rights.
