Search Conway 24 Hour Booking

Conway 24 hour booking records cover people taken into custody by the Conway Police Department and booked into the Faulkner County Detention Center. Conway is a college town with three major schools and a busy police force. This page shows how to find a recent booking, who to call for a report, and how to run a name search. The Faulkner County Sheriff holds the roster. The Conway Police Department holds the arrest file. Both matter if you want the full picture.

Conway 24 Hour Booking Records

The Conway Police Department sits at 1105 Bob Courtway Drive, Conway, AR 72032. The main line is (501) 450-6120. The Records Division is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Conway PD runs its own records unit. That unit pulls arrest reports, incident reports, and accident reports on request.

You can file a request in person during business hours. You fill out a form, show ID, and pay the fee. You can pick up the copies later or ask for mail delivery. The three business day rule under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105 still applies to these requests.

Conway arrests run into the Faulkner County Detention Center. The sheriff runs the jail and posts the roster online at fcso.ar.gov. That roster is the main 24 hour booking source for any Conway arrest. Names go up fast, often within hours of the booking.

The basic facts of any booking are public the moment they are logged. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-103 defines a booking sheet as a public record. Name, charge, date, and bond are open even while the larger case is still live.

Faulkner County Jail and 24 Hour Booking

Conway is the seat of Faulkner County. The Faulkner County Sheriff's Office runs the detention center. When a Conway Police officer makes an arrest, the person is taken to the FCSO jail for booking. Staff take a mugshot, run the prints, log the charge, and set or refer a bond.

Here is the state court search page used for Faulkner County cases at Arkansas CourtConnect. Faulkner County is one of the counties that takes part in CourtConnect. A charge from a Conway booking should show up the next business day.

The image above shows CourtConnect's main search page. Run a name search to find every case tied to that name in Faulkner County and the rest of the state.

How to Request Conway 24 Hour Booking Records

Arkansas FOIA gives you the right to ask for booking records. The law is found at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 through § 25-19-109. The Arkansas FOIA Handbook has plain language rules and sample letters. You do not need to say the word "FOIA." You do not have to give a reason. But you do need to be an Arkansas citizen to file the request.

Conway PD takes FOIA requests at its Records Division. Steps are simple. Go to the Records Division during business hours. Fill out a request form. Show ID. Pay the fee. Come back for the copies or ask for mail delivery.

For a request to the Faulkner County jail, you can call the sheriff's office or send an email. Give the custodian the person's name, date of birth, and booking date. The more data you give, the faster the pull. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(d) caps copy fees at 25 cents per page.

The Attorney General FOIA page has sample letters and a hotline at (501) 682-2007 if an agency drags its feet or says no.

College Campus Arrests in Conway

Conway is home to the University of Central Arkansas, Hendrix College, and Central Baptist College. UCA runs its own campus police. The UCA Police main line is (501) 450-3111. Arrests made by UCA Police feed into the Faulkner County jail too. So the 24 hour booking record is still at the county.

The Clery Act requires every college in the state to post a daily crime log. UCA, Hendrix, and Central Baptist all have public crime logs on their sites. These logs are not full booking records. They show the time, the place, and the type of incident. For the full booking sheet, go to the sheriff.

Hendrix has its own public safety office. Central Baptist uses Conway PD for most calls. Both schools sit within the Conway PD patrol zone.

Court Records After Booking

Once a charge is filed, the case moves to the court docket. Conway District Court handles most misdemeanors that come out of a Conway 24 hour booking. Felonies move up to Faulkner County Circuit Court. Both dockets are public under Arkansas law.

Most Conway case filings show up on CourtConnect the next business day. Run a name search on the state site to find the case number and the next court date. CourtConnect does not show the mugshot or the bond amount in most cases. For those, go back to the Faulkner County jail.

Bond is set by a judge for felony cases in Conway. Misdemeanor cases often use a bond schedule set by the court. Most people post bond within a day of the booking. Those who cannot post bond stay in the jail until the case is resolved or they are moved.

The Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate search does not cover Conway 24 hour booking. It only tracks people sent to state prison after a conviction. For the county jail roster, go to FCSO.
