California Arrest Records And County Online

By Claire Dowell


Amador County Sheriff's Office is the official repository for the Amador County arrest records as per directive provided by the California Constitution. Arrest reports are long considered to be a public domain, thus, the residents in Amador have the right to retrieve it for whatever legal reasons. It has become much easier to access such documents now since the distribution of it has been made available at the local level. County authorities have full authority in keeping it and releasing it to whoever deserves to get a copy of the said documents. However, proper request procedure has to be followed in order to get started with the search.

Thus, to get the search started it is advised that applicants should secure a copy of the records request application form. This is made available at the Sheriff's office during business hours from Mondays through Thursdays. If you don't have time to drop by the office, you can actually have it online via the county's official website. So, just check it out over the web and look for the section where you can perform the download of the said form. You should submit the form to the office concerned as soon as it is completed. The request will be processed in 10 working days, it's indeed a lengthy process but you are going to get the results in due time.

The Records Division was originally based at the State level only. But with the increase rate of the number of people who are making the request, State officials have agreed to localize the documentation and distribution of such reports to make it much faster and easier to deliver the information to the local residents. The Amador County Combined Narcotic Enforcement Team also contributes in the preservation of other legal records for future references by the government and the entire Amador inhabitants.

The residents in Amador are allowed to perform the search as provided by the Public Records Act. On this note, the Sheriff's office is also expected by the California law to perform its duty to be transparent with the documents that they have been updating since in the first place it is considered a public record. An arrest record contains the following details which include the complete name of the person on the record, violation committed, arresting law enforcement unit, date of arrest and other similar information connected to the person in police custody.

All sorts of details related to arrested are technically retrievable except for the documents on the arrested juveniles. Since they are of minor age, the court rules that it shall remain confidential unless there is a very valid ground to unseal it for legal viewing. Searches in Amador can be done through a fingerprint method. Therefore, you must visit the Records Division to go through the process of fingerprinting at $15.00 for the residents of the county and $30.00 for the non-residents. It is only performed from Monday to Wednesday. Also, you are required to present a valid government-issued ID in order to proceed with the entire process.

It is definitely a walk-in-the-park process to acquire the arrest records of people. The only disadvantage though is the processing time since anyone had to wait for 10 days for the results to be released. But, this concern has been remedied nowadays with the emergence of an Internet records provider. It is super quick and easy because you only have to have access to the Internet for you to be able to download the information in no time.
