Bentonville Police 72 Hour Booking

The Bentonville Police Department sits at 1300 SW 14th Street. BPD is the city law office and runs round-the-clock patrol, a records desk, and a city booking unit. When a BPD officer makes an arrest, the intake team logs the charges, takes prints, snaps the mugshot, and starts the 72 hour booking clock. From there, most bookings shift to the Benton County jail in Bentonville for the longer stay.

Bentonville Booking FOIA Requests

The Arkansas FOIA lets any citizen of the state ask for a Bentonville booking record. The core law is at § 25-19-105. Jail logs, arrest records, and shift sheets are open to the public under Hengel v. City of Pine Bluff, the 1991 Arkansas Supreme Court case that locked in public access to police records.

Send your FOIA to the BPD Records Division for city-level data or to the Benton County Sheriff's Records Division for jail-level data. Name the booked person, the date, and the records you want. The custodian has three business days to reply under state law. Fees are the true cost of copying, which is usually a few cents per page.

If a reply is late or the records are held back without a valid exemption, the Arkansas Attorney General can review the denial. You can also file a civil action under § 25-19-107. A court can order the record released and award fees to the winning side. Juvenile bookings are sealed and not subject to FOIA.

Bentonville 72 Hour Booking Records Retention

The Bentonville police and the Benton County sheriff hold Bentonville 72 hour booking files for set periods under Arkansas records rules. The intake log, charge sheet, and bond paper stay on the active roster while the booked person is in custody. After release or transfer, the data moves to archive storage. Jail management systems keep a digital copy that the records clerk can pull on request. Arkansas does not set a single fixed retention window for all booking data, so the period tracks the local policy.

For older Bentonville bookings that are off the live roster, the sheriff's records division is the right path. Ask for an archive search by name and approximate date. The CourtConnect portal also shows the court file tied to the booking, which gives a second trace for older cases. Docket entries, charges, and case outcomes stay on the court side even after the jail side clears the record from the active roster.

If an Bentonville 72 hour booking file is too old for the digital feed, a paper pull may be needed. The records staff can set a time for an in-person review during office hours. Bring a photo ID and the booking details you have. Fees for copies follow the § 25-19-105 cost rule.
