New York Free Arrest Records

By Ben Kingsley


New York has implemented the Freedom of Information Act. This implementation has turned the personal documents of the residents into open files which mean that the residents have the freedom to access their documents at any moment. NY criminal records are only one of the name documents that the residents can request.

An arrest file of New York is only one of the many types of criminal records that can be requested in the state. These arrest records are issued to individuals who have violated the laws of the nation and the state. Every time an individual has been reported for violating the laws by different enforcing agencies of the state, a new arrest report is generated by each agency. This means that one person can have several arrest records issued by different bodies of the government. Such document can then be obtained at the office that generated the report.

As the name suggest, an arrest record focuses on the details of the arrest. Information such as where and when the arrest was done is documented on the file along with other important details like the case number and the crimes that the individual has committed that lead to his/her arrest. The document would not be complete without some of the personal information of the reported individual such as the place and date of birth and the latest place where he resided. The document would also show all the charges that were filed against the individual as well as the sentence that he/she received for the crimes that was committed. One should know that the document is only available to the public after investigation has been closed or the case has been resolved.

One has to go to the office of the Court Administration in New York in order to obtain a copy of an arrest record in the state. One should know that a nationwide search is not possible. Only a statewide search is allowed and simply means that looking for an arrest record of a person from another state in New York would yield no results.

In order to get a copy of an arrest record in the state of New York, one has to know the basic details of the record that is being requested. The search form has to be completely filled out with the necessary information to obtain the requested document. One has to pay $65 as a processing fee in order to proceed with the retrieval process. The state office accepts mailed-in requests; however, the results can take a while.

The Internet allows the retrieval of an arrest record faster since it can be done even without leaving home. One can even search for arrest records for free.
