Database For California Arrest Records And Its Counties

By Claire Dowell


The Mendocino County Sheriff's office is the caretaker of files regarding Mendocino County Sheriff Arrests. The sheriff's office maintains a log of their daily operations which they display on their official website. In accordance to the Public Records Act of the State of California Government Code 6254, citizens are given the right to access the files.

Arrests are recorded even if it does not lead to an incarceration. If a person is proven innocent, his or her records will not be revealed to the public but will still remain on the archives of the sheriff's office for future reference. If it does lead to incarceration, the record will become available for public access. Arrest records are useful when conducting background checks on other people because they reveal vital pieces of information such as the name of the criminal, nature of the crime, date and place where the crime happened, address, date of birth, and many more.

To initiate a search, get the appropriate request form at the sheriff's office. You can also get it by downloading it from the office's official website. Complete the form accordingly and double check all the details that you provide because they are crucial in how the search process turns out. Also do not forget to provide your personal contact details and an ID. There are fees for every transaction made and they are non-refundable regardless of the search results.

It is allowed to access your own record in Mendocino County. If you spot any errors on your record, you can call the attention of the caretaker of your record to have it looked at and have the proper corrections done. If you want to access the records of other people, you have to get authorization from the court. Law enforcers, lawyers, employers, and landlords are usually given access to other people's records. If you are not any of the aforementioned people, you have a valid reason why you want the records. If the caretaker of the records does not see your reason as valid, they have the right to deny you access.

Arrest documents can also be obtained from websites that, although not ran by the government, have the authorization to keep copies of the documents and supply them to the public. Websites like these are all over the Internet. However, there are only a few that can be considered as legitimate providers of the documents. Prior to choosing the website where you will conduct your search, perform a background check on them and collect as many information you can about them until you are sold that they are legitimate.

A mug shot is required when documenting arrests. However, it does not automatically mean that arrested people are guilty criminals because they are deemed innocent until proven guilty. California provides an avenue for looking up mugshots of arrested people through the California Mugshot Database. Pictures, names, address, date of birth, and other important details regarding individuals who got arrested are displayed for the public to see.
