Mendocino County Arrest Records Online Database

By Claire Dowell


The Mendocino County Sheriff's office is the caretaker of files regarding Mendocino County Sheriff Arrests. The sheriff's office maintains a log of their daily operations which they display on their official website. In accordance to the Public Records Act of the State of California Government Code 6254, citizens are given the right to access the files.

All arrests performed are properly documented, regardless if whether the person is put to prison or not. If there is enough evidence to support that the arrested person is guilty, the documents of the arrest will become permanent and will be open for public access. If the person is found innocent, the arrest document will remain away from the hands of the public. It shall, however, remain in the hands of the sheriff's office for future reference.

Before carrying out a search, acquire the proper request form at the sheriff's official. You can also obtain it from their website by downloading it. Fill it out by providing all the necessary pieces of information. Double check the information that you provide and make sure that they are up to date because it will be a factor in the success or failure of the search. Once you have got that down, include your personal details and provide any proof of identification. There are payments that you need to comply to for each request that you place, which are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the search.

You are permitted to access your own arrest files in Mendocino County. In case you find any inaccuracy on the details written on your files, you can appeal to the custodian of your files to look at it and update it accordingly. You can access the files of other people but only if you are authorized by the court. Members of the law enforcement agency, legal representatives, landlords, and employers are examples of people who are authorized to do so. If you are not any of the people aforementioned, you have to have a legitimate reason why you want to get your hands on the files. If the file's custodian is not satisfied with your reason, they are entitled 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.

A mug shot is required when documenting arrests. However, it does not automatically mean that arrested people are guilty criminals because they are deemed innocent until proven guilty. California provides an avenue for looking up mugshots of arrested people through the California Mugshot Database. Pictures, names, address, date of birth, and other important details regarding individuals who got arrested are displayed for the public to see.
