Accessing Database For Mendocino County Arrest Log Online

By Claire Dowell


Records of Mendocino County Sheriff Arrests are maintained by the county's sheriff's office. The general public is given the right to access them, care of the Public Records Act of the State of California Government Code 6254. The office maintains a daily log of crime-related activities which they post on their website.

Every time an arrest is carried out, they are automatically put into writing even if it does not result to the arrested person being put to jail. If a person is found guilty of the offense he or she is accused of, his or her files will be open for public access. If the arrested person is found innocent, his or her files will be kept away from the public but shall remain in the custody of the sheriff's office for future reference. Referring to arrest files is great when running history checks on other people because they contain vital details such as the name of the offender, nature of offense, when and where the offense was committed, place of residence, and birth date, amongst others.

To begin a search, secure a request form at the office or download it from their official website. Supply it with all the required pieces of information and make sure that they are accurate because that will be vital in the success or failure of the search. Include your contact details and present any form of identification. There are fees that you have to pay for every transaction. A no refund policy is implemented regardless of the outcome of the search.

The state of Mendocino County allows its citizen to obtain their own arrest documents. If their document contains an error, the owner can request the sheriff's office to have it checked and make the proper corrections. The documents of other people can also be obtained but with the authorization of the court. Lawyers, law enforcers, employees, and landlords are amongst those who are authorized to obtain the documents of other people. If you do not belong to the aforementioned people, you must come up with a convincing reason why you want to get the documents. If the sheriff's office is not satisfied with your reason, they have the authority to deny you access.

Arrest files can also be acquired online. Many search tools found on the Internet that are into the business of maintaining and supplying the files to the public, with the permission of the government. There are a number of search tools that can be found on the Internet and most, if not all, refer to themselves as authentic suppliers of the files. Unfortunately, not all of them can be trusted because there are existing bogus search tools. Before you jump on using any of the search tools you find out there, run a history check on them and collect as much details as you can about them until you become persuaded that they are authentic suppliers of the files.

California maintains a California Mugshot Database where pictures, names, addresses, birthdates and other vital information of arrested people are displayed for public viewing. Taking a mug shot is part of the process of documenting arrests. People whose pictures and names are displayed are considered innocent until proven otherwise.
