  • Where can I find access to arrest records?
    If you're looking for arrest records, you can request them directly from the department which made the arrest. If the arrest were in Essex county, the sheriff's department would have the reports when making arrests. These reports are often requested by attorneys and others involved. You can also scour free online publications if you don't need an official arrest report. Remember, arrests are not convictions. Criminal proceedings and convictions can be found in court files (with few exceptions) and are open as public records. Start by going to the sheriff's site and looking for the records administrator to contact and request the information.
