Philadelphia County Arrest Records

Arrest records are a component of criminal records maintained by law enforcement agencies. In Philadelphia County, these records are public under the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law; however, the information actually released to the public is governed by the Pennsylvania Criminal History Information Act (CHRA). The following details are considered public under the CHRA:

• The arrestee's identity: Their name, age, and gender
• The arrest details: The date, time, and location of the arrest
• The booking details: The booking time, booking number, and bond amount

The non-public part of a Philadelphia County arrest record contains private and sensitive information, such as bodycam footage, fingerprint files, informant names, and juvenile data.
