North Little Rock 72 hour booking records flow through two main desks. The North Little Rock Police Department handles city arrests and runs the first intake.

Both feeds list the booked name, the charges, the bond, and the next court date. North Little Rock sits across the Arkansas River from Little Rock and is the second largest city in Pulaski County.
North Little Rock 72 Hour Booking Overview
North Little Rock 72 Hour Booking Agency
The North Little Rock Police Department is at 200 West Pershing Boulevard. NLRPD runs round-the-clock patrol, a records desk, and the city booking unit. When a NLRPD officer makes an arrest, the intake team logs charges, takes prints, snaps the mugshot, and starts the 72 hour booking clock. Most city bookings then shift to the Pulaski County jail within a day.
NLRPD covers the city limits north of the Arkansas River. The force handles all major call types, from traffic to felony work. The Records Division is the right point of contact for any North Little Rock 72 hour booking record at the city level. Staff can pull arrest reports, incident reports, and shift logs by name and date.
Phone the Records Division for a copy of an arrest record. Walk-in service is open during weekday business hours. Copy fees match the state rate set by Arkansas law. Check the LRPD Records desk too if the case crosses city lines.
Which County Jail Holds North Little Rock Arrests
All North Little Rock arrests move to Pulaski County for the longer-term jail stay. North Little Rock sits in Pulaski County. The Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility at 3201 West Roosevelt Road is the only county jail in Pulaski. It holds well over 1,000 inmates on a normal day and is the largest county jail in Arkansas. NLRPD, LRPD, Jacksonville PD, and the sheriff all use the same facility.
The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office runs the jail. The sheriff covers all of Pulaski County, not just one city. So a North Little Rock 72 hour booking search may also turn up on the sheriff's roster after the NLRPD intake step.
The live Pulaski County inmate roster shows who is in the jail right now. The roster takes name and booking number searches. Bond, charge, and court date info loads on the detail page for each booking. Mugshots show on most entries.
Note: NLRPD arrests route to the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility, so booking detail almost always lands on the sheriff's roster soon after the city intake.

North Little Rock Booking FOIA Requests
The Arkansas FOIA lets any citizen of the state ask for a North Little Rock booking file. 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 NLRPD 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.
Note: Under § 12-12-1003, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and medical notes get redacted from booking files before release.
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.
North Little Rock 72 Hour Booking Records Retention
The North Little Rock police and the Pulaski County sheriff hold North Little Rock 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 North Little Rock 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 North Little Rock 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.
