Faulkner County Jail and Booking

The Faulkner County Detention Center handles intake for every arrest made by the sheriff's office, the Conway Police Department, and other local agencies inside the county. Booking includes a search, fingerprinting, a booking photo, and housing assignment. Each person booked gets a booking number that ties every record together.

A typical Faulkner County booking report lists full name, date of birth, race, sex, address, arresting agency, arrest date and time, charges, bond type, and bond amount. Mugshots are taken at intake and kept in the file. Most bookings appear in the records system within 24 hours. Bonds can be posted at the jail around the clock.

First appearance hearings run through Faulkner County District Court or Conway District Court depending on the charge and the arresting agency. The court sets bond, reviews probable cause, and schedules the next date. Felony cases move up to the 20th Judicial Circuit.

FOIA Access to Faulkner County Booking Reports

To check if a person is in custody right now, the fastest route is to call the sheriff's office or the jail. Staff can confirm status and bond. Online, the sheriff may run a roster page on the county website. If the roster is down or the person is not showing, call the Records Division for a live check.

For state-level searches that support Faulkner County booking reports lookups, use these tools:

• Arkansas Division of Correction inmate search for state prison
• ARCH for full criminal history checks
