Arrests happen for various reasons, and staying informed about an arrest can be crucial for many reasons. In the United States, there are several ways to access information regarding an arrest.
Local police departments typically maintain online databases where you can search for arrest records using the person’s name or date of arrest. Some counties also have searchable online databases of arrest records. Additionally, commercial websites like “Spokeo” and “Intelius” offer paid services for searching public records, including arrest records.
