The local access policies in the state of California enable the general public to assess particular arrest files through the various law enforcement units. Through California public arrest records, one can accomplish a background review and therefore provide a higher measure of protection to one?s kinfolks.

Relevant facts about the victim and the person who executed the crime are usually found in an arrest record. However, certain facts are deliberated as confidential especially if it has an adverse effect to an on-going investigation or for reasons of public security. An arrested person, who is later proven to be innocent of the felony he or she is being accused of, can request the right authorities to have his or her file sealed-off.
