Pulaski County Booking Reports

Pulaski County booking reports are kept by the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office and the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility in Little Rock. The facility is the largest county jail in Arkansas, and it processes bookings for every law enforcement agency in the county. You can search current inmates through the online roster at pcso.org/detention by name, arrest date, charge, or race. Older Pulaski County booking reports can be requested through the sheriff's records division under the Arkansas FOIA.

Pulaski County Sheriff's Office

The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office runs the county's main law enforcement and detention operation. The office sits at 2900 S. Woodrow Street in Little Rock. The Records Division number is (501) 340-6600. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sheriff Eric S. Higgins leads the agency, and the mission statement points to partnership with the community and ethical service.

The sheriff's office holds the full set of Pulaski County booking reports for every person taken into custody at the county jail. Records include incident reports, offense reports, accident reports, and arrest files. To pull a record that isn't on the online roster, you file an FOIA request under Arkansas Code § 25-19-105. The records division can process requests in person, by phone, by fax, or by mail. Smaller batches are usually ready in 1 to 3 business days.

The sheriff partners with VINE, the Victim Information and Notification Everyday system. VINE gives victims and the public automated updates on an inmate's custody status. You can sign up at no cost and get alerts when a person is released, transferred, or has a court date.

The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office website is the main portal for accessing Pulaski County booking reports, warrant lookups, and detention center information.

The site links to the inmate roster, FOIA request forms, and contact info for the 2900 S. Woodrow records division.

Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility

The Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility is at 3201 West Roosevelt Road, Little Rock, Arkansas 72204. The main line is (501) 340-7001. The facility opened in 1994. It is the largest county jail in Arkansas and houses more than 1,200 detainees on a typical day. Every law enforcement agency in Pulaski County brings its arrests here for booking. This includes the Little Rock Police Department, the North Little Rock Police Department, the Jacksonville Police Department, the Maumelle Police Department, and the sheriff's own deputies.

The booking process at the detention facility includes searching, fingerprinting, photographing, change-out of clothing, and housing assignment. Each person booked gets a mugshot and a booking number. The Court Liaison Office inside the facility handles communication with more than 30 district, circuit, and federal courts. The office makes sure each booked person is seen by a judge in the time frame allowed by Arkansas law.

Public records of bookings become part of the Pulaski County booking reports set. You can view them online, in person, or through a formal FOIA request. The facility also processes requests for copies of mugshots. Mail those to Pulaski County Detention Facility, 3201 West Roosevelt, Little Rock, AR 72204, Attention: Media Relations - Inmate Mugshot Request. You can also call 501-340-7001 for help.

Pulaski County Inmate Roster Search

The online roster at pcso.org/detention is the fastest way to check Pulaski County booking reports. The roster is free. No login is needed. You can search two ways: pick a name from the scrolling dropdown, or enter specific search terms.

Search fields include:

• Name (first or last)
• Age
• Booking date on or after
• Booking date on or before
• Charge
• Race
• Sex

Results display a mugshot, charge list, arrest date, bond type, and bond amount. If you are not sure about the full name, start with a partial name search. First name only or last name only will pull wider results. Narrow the field by adding the arrest date or a specific charge.

The roster tool covers arrests made inside Pulaski County. It does not show criminal history, past mugshots after release, or closed cases. For that, you need the Arkansas Criminal History (ARCH) system or the court file at the Pulaski County Circuit Clerk's Office. ARCH costs $24 and pulls data from all 75 counties.

Pulaski County government is the parent body for the sheriff, circuit clerk, and other offices that handle Pulaski County booking reports and related public records.

The county website links out to each department and posts FOIA contact info, meeting minutes, and records request forms.

FOIA Requests for Pulaski County Booking Reports

The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, codified at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq., gives any citizen the right to see public records during business hours. Pulaski County booking reports are public under this rule. Juvenile records are not. Active investigations are also closed while the case is open.

To file a request, send a written note to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office Records Division, 2900 S. Woodrow, Little Rock, AR 72201. List the subject's full name, date of birth, rough date of arrest, and the type of record you want. Include your name, phone, and email. The custodian has three business days to respond in writing under § 25-19-105.

Fees for copies vary. Plain copies usually cost $0.25 to $0.50 a page. Certified copies run higher. If you only want to see the file, inspection is free. Staff time for simple lookups is also free, though the agency may charge for extensive research.

You can also use the NextRequest portal for some Pulaski County public records. The county lists the portal on the county website. Jacksonville and Maumelle, both in Pulaski County, use the same portal for city records.

Pulaski County Crime and Booking Stats

Pulaski County booking activity reflects the size of the population and the number of agencies served. According to ACIC annual crime reports, in 2021 Pulaski County recorded 4 murders, 31 rapes, 674 aggravated assaults, 13 simple assaults, 27 arsons, 276 burglaries, 13 robberies, 259 motor vehicle thefts, and 1,058 larcenies. Aggravated assault and motor vehicle theft trended up from earlier years. Burglary, robbery, and larceny trended down.

Each one of those reported crimes can lead to a booking report if an arrest is made. Not every case results in a jail booking. Some move forward on a citation or summons. The detention facility's daily population of 1,200-plus reflects the mix of pretrial holds, sentenced inmates on shorter terms, and people awaiting transfer to the Arkansas Division of Correction.

Statewide Resources for Pulaski County

Beyond the local sheriff's roster, a few state and federal tools help with Pulaski County booking reports. The Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate search at apps.ark.org lists every state prison inmate, including people sentenced through Pulaski County courts. The search is free and pulls mugshots, ADC number, sentence dates, and housing.

For statewide criminal history, the Arkansas Criminal History (ARCH) system runs paid searches at $24 each. ARCH was created by Act 1185 of 2015, codified at Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1501. It pulls felony and misdemeanor convictions plus open felony arrests under three years old.

Court-side data for Pulaski County cases lives on CourtConnect. The site covers the Little Rock District Court and the county's circuit courts. You can look up case status, hearings, and docket entries at no cost. For federal arrests in the Eastern District of Arkansas, check the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.

Pulaski County Municipal Police Departments

Several city police departments bring arrests to the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility. The Little Rock Police Department at 700 W Markham St is the busiest. The North Little Rock Police Department and Jacksonville Police Department each handle their own city limits. The Maumelle Police Department at 2002 Murphy Dr, Maumelle, AR 72113 covers Maumelle. The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated areas.

Every one of those arrests feeds into the same county booking system. So if the Little Rock Police Department arrests a person, that person still ends up on the Pulaski County roster after booking. This is part of why the jail is so busy: it is the single intake point for the whole county.
