Little Rock 72 Hour Booking

Little Rock 72 hour booking records come from two main sources. The Little Rock Police Department handles city arrests and logs the intake at its own booking unit. Most bookings then move to the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility for longer stays. A Little Rock 72 hour booking search starts with the LRPD records page or the Pulaski County jail roster. Both sources show the booked name, charges, bond, and a court date. Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas and the largest city in the state. LRPD is the largest city police force in Arkansas, with its own booking desk and records division.

Little Rock Police 72 Hour Booking

The Little Rock Police Department is at 615 West Markham Street in downtown Little Rock. LRPD runs 24 hour patrol, a records unit, and a booking desk. When the LRPD makes an arrest, the intake team logs the charges, does the prints, takes the mugshot, and starts the 72 hour booking clock. Most city bookings then move to the Pulaski County jail within a day.

Here is the LRPD home page image. The page links to the records division, the crime report tool, and the online FOIA form.

The Records Division handles all FOIA requests for Little Rock 72 hour booking files. The phone line is (501) 371-4829. You can ask for incident reports, accident reports, and booking data by phone, by email, or in person at the front counter. The office sits inside the LRPD building on Markham. Copy fees match the Arkansas state rate under Arkansas Code § 25-19-105.

Which County Handles Little Rock Arrests

All Little Rock arrests move to Pulaski County for the longer-term booking stay. Little Rock is the seat of Pulaski County. The Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility at 3201 West Roosevelt Road is the only county jail in Pulaski. It holds more than 1,200 inmates on an average day, which makes it the biggest county jail in Arkansas.

The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office runs the jail. The sheriff covers all of Pulaski County, not just Little Rock. North Little Rock, Jacksonville, and smaller areas all use the same jail. So a Little Rock 72 hour booking search may also turn up in the sheriff's roster, which is the common endpoint after LRPD intake.

The live Pulaski County inmate roster shows who is in the jail right now. The roster takes name and booking number searches. Bond, charges, and court date info load on the detail page for each booking. Mugshots are on most entries.

Little Rock 72 Hour Booking Court Link

A Little Rock booking case files in Pulaski County court. Misdemeanors go to Little Rock District Court. Felonies go to Pulaski County Circuit Court. Traffic cases go to Little Rock Traffic Court. The Arkansas CourtConnect system covers all three. You can search by party name, case number, or file date.

The Pulaski County Circuit Clerk sits at 401 West Markham Street, right next to LRPD. Phone is (501) 340-8500. The clerk holds the certified case file, while CourtConnect has the online view. Ask the clerk for a certified copy when you need a court-sealed record for a passport, a name change, or an out-of-state license check.

The case ID links each booking to a court file. The first appearance sets bond and reads the charges. From there, the case moves to arraignment and trial, if the charges hold. Little Rock 72 hour booking data rolls forward into the court feed through CourtConnect. CourtConnect is free, and the Clerk's office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Little Rock Crime and Booking Data Tools

The City of Little Rock runs an open data portal with crime and arrest data. The Little Rock Open Data Portal lets you pull crime stats, incident counts, and arrest data in CSV or similar formats. The data is set up for research, reporting, and civic use. No account is needed for most pulls. The site has geocoded data, so mapping is easy.

Here is the open data page shown in full. The page links to arrest data, crime stats, police reports, and machine-readable files.

LRPD also runs a public crime map at littlerock.gov/police/crime-information/crime-map. The map plots recent incidents across city limits. Filters let you pick the crime type and date range. The map runs on desktop and mobile. It is not a booking search page in the strict sense, but it pairs with the open data feed for a full view of LRPD activity.

Little Rock 72 Hour Booking FOIA Request

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

Send your FOIA to the LRPD Records Division for city-level data or to the Pulaski 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 withheld without a valid exemption, the 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 release.
