FOIA Request for Pulaski County Booking Records

Under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, any citizen of Arkansas can ask for a Pulaski County 72 hour booking record. The law is at Arkansas Code § 25-19-105. Jail logs, arrest records, and shift sheets are all open to the public. The Arkansas Supreme Court settled this in Hengel v. City of Pine Bluff, a 1991 case that set a strong rule in favor of public access.

To file a request, send a short letter or email to the sheriff's Records Division. Name the booked person, the date of arrest, and the records you want. Ask for the booking sheet, intake log, bond data, and mugshot. The three-business-day reply rule applies. If the reply is late or the records are held back without a valid exemption, you can appeal to the Attorney General or file a civil action under § 25-19-107.

Some older Pulaski County bookings are on paper only and may require in-person review at the Records Division. The sheriff keeps digital logs for most bookings from recent years. Archive files follow Arkansas State Archives retention rules. Juvenile bookings are sealed and not released through FOIA.
