According to Crime in the United States by the Department of Justice, the Rate of Arrests in 2006 nationwide was almost 5% and that's not even taking into account arrests resulting from traffic violations. That's an increase across the board for all major categories of violation such as violent, property and drugs, from the year before and bodes very poorly for 2007, the current year and beyond.

An arrest can be viewed as the immediate containment of an unlawful act with its judicial disposition usually coming later. In parallel, it serves to maintain custody on the arrestee so that he or she can be produced for further proceedings. It is officially carried out by an agency of authority which is most commonly the Police. The main role of the Police in governance is law enforcement although they are typically tasked with other functions as well.

Once an Arrest has been made by the Police, a report will be put up, usually by the arresting officer for record purposes and as document for the assigned Intake Prosecutor or submitted as evidence to the Grand Jury, to determine the charges to be filed. The entry to the arrestee's Police Arrest Records will be permanent, regardless of whether or not the arrest leads to any incarceration.

Police Arrest Records is an official reflection of someone's civil character and background. The best Police Arrest Records to have is no record. However, if there had been any, a search will uncover complete details of the arrestee's personal particulars and the surrounding information to the arrest. Multiple arrests are not uncommon and they will all show up if they happened within the jurisdiction for which the search was conducted.

Police Arrest Records are public records. That means anybody's Public Arrest Reports can be accessed by any member of the public. They can be requested directly from the local Police Department of the locale which the subject resides in. If that is not known, they can be obtained from the central repository of the state or other government agency tasked with the function.

The Police Force comes under state jurisdiction and Police Arrest Records are structured in accordance with that. As such, there are variations in regard to the treatment of Police Arrest Records from state to state. On top of that, the databases of the respective state-level repositories are not linked. That means a no-record-found covers only the state for which the search is conducted. It is reasonable to speculate that the FBI has a federal Police Arrest Record database but it is not likely to be publicly accessible in view of security reasons.

Besides requesting them from the local Police Departments and public offices, Public Police Records can be purchased. There are plenty of commercial information brokers retailing such services over the internet. The great thing about such outfits is that there's practically no waiting time. Reports are generally ready for download in a matter of minutes. On top of that, they often bring extras from their private and proprietary sources.
