With the rampant crimes that are happening everywhere, arrest record has been made open to the public for their own protection and safety. With this, online retrieval of such records is now available.

Not all of the information of an on-site search can be found on an online arrest record because of the limitation declared under the privacy law. The current address of an arrested individual can only be found on an on-site search. The crimes committed by the individual are indicated on both search methods but one can only see the charges given to the individual in a record obtained directly from the office. In addition to that, further details about the arrest of an individual can only be obtained when requesting for the document directly from the office. No online results can be obtained for Class C or minor crimes such as traffic violations.
