We all know how important public records are. They contain important information pertaining to an individual, a company as well as other government transactions. Arrest records for example would provide a person's background, if he or she has any history of criminal activities, felony or misdemeanour and has been arrested by any law enforcement agencies or not. Fresno arrest records for example are available to the public and can be accessed through online and offline means. Robberies, DUI, theft, traffic accidents and murder are just some of the records that one can access.

For arrest record requests, a person requesting the report must show a valid identification to Fresno Record Division and indicate the case number of the arrest record(s) that they want. Arrest records access is restricted especially those that are under investigation, have a juvenile as suspect and are restricted by court order. For other arrest records that do not fall under those conditions, access is open. In case the person requesting the report is one of the arrested parties, a copy of the report will be forwarded to their attorney during the arraignment. Reports can be sent either by mail or through walk in.

The County's Record Bureau Public Counter is open every day for walk-ins. As there is a cut off time, it is best to come in early and bring a valid/current identification id. Fill up the form and indicate the purpose of the request. Fees for criminal records were amended recently (Eff. August 1, 2013) and charges per page cost about $.50. Certification would cost about $25. These changes will not affect civil cases. All payments must be made through money order and US bank issued checks. The office also accepts credit cards. However, they do not accept personal checks or cash.

For mail requests, the Office requires a written request stating the name of the person requesting the information, case/file number, incident type and time or location if applicable. For reports that are longer than 10 pages, the office charges $.20/page. The person requesting should also include a copy of their identification id such as valid driver's license and send the request to the Record's Office. For personal criminal records, the person requesting must personally appear before the Records Bureau and get their criminal record. Cost of the service is $30 and can be paid through credit card or money order.

One other way to access records is by visiting the Fresno county sheriff's office. The Sheriff's records office is open during weekdays and one can walk in to do some research. Mail requests are also accepted. Persons requesting for such information should send in their request and the duplicate copy of their valid id to the Office by either standard mail or courier. Some criminal cases might be restricted for the public. As such, one can also phone in to the Sheriff's Record Office and look for some part of the record that is intended for the public. Processing for mail request is up to ten business days.

Another way to obtain a copy of arrest records is to check online public search portals that offer basic free criminal records. This comes in handy especially for those who only require basic information or want to do background checks on themselves. For more or full details report, minimal fees may apply.
