Fresno County Arrest Records Online

By Claire Dowell


Arrest records are important documents as they show a relative wealth of information on an individual, a group or a company. These records would show the person requesting the information about the case, the crime committed as well as the names of the suspects. Fresno arrest records are obtainable from various online and offline resources. These records can be simple misdemeanour or felony and criminal in nature. Traffic infractions, robbery and murder are just some arrest record types that one might encounter.

For people who want to obtain a copy of a person crime report, he/she must provide the County's Record Division of the case number of the record as well as valid identification. Reports are released to the public if the case is not under investigation or restricted under court order. Case reports are given to the defending attorney during the hearing if the person requesting the copy is one of the arrested parties. Reports are made available via mail and in person.

For those who want to search the records themselves, they can do so by visiting the Record Bureau Public Counter during business hours. As there is a cut off time, one should come early and bring a form of identification with them. The costs for the records were amended recently and effective August 1, 2013, each page would cost $.20 and certification fee costs about $25. The fee amendment will not affect civil cases or lawsuits. The Office will not accept cash or personal checks but does accept money order, US bank issued checks and credit card payments.

Mail requests are also accepted. Simply indicate the case number and other information in the request form, as well as payment for the request being made. The report is free however; reports that exceed 10 pages will be charged at $.20 each from the first page onwards. Also, include a duplicate copy of current/valid identification like driver's license or any government-issued id. For those who want to obtain their own personal criminal records, fee is $30. All payments should be paid through credit card or money order.

Another way to obtain arrest record is by contacting the County Sheriff's Office. One can send in their request to the Sheriff's Records Office or obtain the records in person by visiting the Sheriff's Office from Mondays to Fridays. The office is open only from 9am to 4pm so it is important to come early. For mail requests, one must submit a request form together with a copy of their valid id as well as case number. Processing time can take about ten (10) business days. Restrictions may apply for some crime reports though one can still check if there are other parts of the case that are available for public information.

For those who only require basic search, they can do free criminal records check online. It is by far one of the most convenient ways of retrieving information without having to pay for the records. Some sites might require payment though most of the time, online search databases are free.
