Jacksonville Police and 24 Hour Booking

The Jacksonville Police Department makes most city arrests. The station sits at 101 N Jeff Davis Street, Jacksonville, AR 72076. The main line is (501) 982-3191. Chief Brett Hibbs runs the force. Records staff work Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The city site at cityofjacksonville.net has links to the police page and a list of staff emails for FOIA requests. A public records request under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105 is how you get a copy of an arrest report, a call log, or an incident file that does not fall under an open case hold.

The Jacksonville city website is the best start for direct contact. The image below is the home page for the city.

The site lists the police page, the city attorney office, and the public info office. Each of those staff can take a FOIA request by email.

Jacksonville police do not run their own jail. When an officer makes a booking, the person is moved to the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility. That means the 24 hour booking sheet lives with the sheriff, not with the city. The police hold the arrest report and the officer narrative. Those are two different files. For a full picture of a Jacksonville arrest, you often need both. The arrest report from the Jacksonville PD shows what the officer saw. The booking sheet from Pulaski County shows the formal charge, the bond, and the court date.

Where Jacksonville Bookings Go

All Jacksonville 24 hour booking records end up at the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility. The facility is in Little Rock. The jail takes bookings from Jacksonville, Sherwood, Maumelle, North Little Rock, and a few other cities in the county. Once a person is booked, the data goes live on the Pulaski County roster. You can look up a name on the sheriff site and get the charge, booking time, and bond.

The sheriff hosts a public roster at pulaski-so-ar.zuercherportal.com. The Zuercher portal is a common tool used by many Arkansas sheriffs. It shows a live list of people held in the jail right now. You can filter by name, age, or date of booking. Bookings from the last 24 hours show up near the top.

If you do not see a person you expect on the roster, try a few things. Wait a few hours. A fresh booking can take a while to post. Check the name spelling. Look for middle names or suffixes like Jr. If the person was moved to a court hold or a medical unit, the roster may not show them. Call the jail to confirm. The Pulaski County Sheriff Office takes custody calls at the main line listed on the county page.

Jacksonville FOIA Contacts for Booking Records

Arkansas FOIA gives every Arkansas citizen the right to ask for public records. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 is the main text of the law. The Arkansas FOIA Handbook walks through how to send a request and what to expect. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-103 sets the key terms. A booking sheet is a public record under the rule.

Jacksonville has more than one FOIA contact. Pick the office that holds the file you want. For arrest reports, the police records staff is the right stop. For internal affairs files, use the Office of Professional Standards. For press queries, use the Public Information Office.

City Attorney office emails are acone@cityofjacksonville.net and sfriedman@cityofjacksonville.net. Support Services staff include lblaylock, rbetterton, kneal, and rwright at the same domain. The Office of Professional Standards uses cburrow@cityofjacksonville.net. The Public Information Office goes through akiser@cityofjacksonville.net. Background check queries route to OPS@cityofjacksonville.net. Pick one and send a plain email with the records you want.

Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105 gives the custodian three business days to respond. If the file is in active use or off site, the agency can take more time, but must tell you so in writing. The copy fee is capped at 25 cents per page. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(d) is the spot for that rule.

Jacksonville District Court After Booking

Once a person is booked in Pulaski County, the first court date is often set within a day. Misdemeanor charges out of Jacksonville go to the Jacksonville District Court. Felony charges go to Pulaski County Circuit Court. Both courts post case data on Arkansas CourtConnect. Search by name or case number. CourtConnect shows the filing date, the charges, the judge, and the next court date. It does not show mugshots or the full booking sheet.

Bond for Jacksonville arrests is set by a judge or a bond schedule. Most people post bond within a day or two. Those who cannot make bond stay at the Pulaski County jail until the next court date. The jail booking record stays public the whole time.

If the charge is later dropped, dismissed, or expunged, the court file may be sealed. The jail booking sheet, though, stays in the public record unless a judge orders a seal. This matters for news outlets and family members who track old arrests. A sealed court file does not always mean a sealed booking sheet.

Statewide Tools for Jacksonville 24 Hour Booking

A few state tools help track a Jacksonville booking after the initial intake. VINELink is the free custody alert tool run by the state. Sign up with a name and get an email or text when the person is released or moved. VINE covers Pulaski County and most big Arkansas jails.

The Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate search kicks in only after a prison sentence. Local 24 hour booking data does not appear there. If a Jacksonville arrest leads to a prison term, the person shows up on ADC a few days or weeks later.

The Arkansas Crime Information Center runs a statewide criminal history check. ACIC is name based. The cost is $22 per name. It does not show a live roster, but it can tell you if a person has any record in the state.

For people on parole or probation, the Arkansas Division of Community Correction has a public search. The Arkansas Sex Offender Registry lists people who must register by state law. Neither of those shows a live booking.

What a Jacksonville Booking Record Shows

A 24 hour booking record out of Jacksonville and Pulaski County tends to hold the same core facts at most jails. The roster shows the full name, date of birth, booking date and time, charges with Arkansas Code cites, bond amount, and mugshot. Some entries add the arresting agency and the court date.

A few facts are held back. Juvenile booking records are closed under Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309. Medical notes are closed. Social security numbers and bank info get redacted. The basic booking sheet stays open even if the case is still under review. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(b) lists the main limits on what can be withheld.

Mugshots are public in Arkansas. The FOIA Handbook is plain on this. A few agencies want the request in writing before they release a mug. Others post them right on the roster. Pulaski County posts booking photos on the Zuercher roster.

Bond types include cash, surety, property, and own recognizance. A judge sets the bond based on the charge and the person's record. A fresh booking with a violent felony may have no bond set until the first court date. Lower charges often get a bond set at the jail.
