Find 24 Hour Booking in Rogers

Rogers 24 hour booking records show the people arrested in the city and booked into the Benton County Jail in the past day. The Rogers Police Department handles the arrest. The sheriff runs the jail and keeps the booking sheet. This page shows how to look up a Rogers 24 hour booking, where to call, and how to file a FOIA for the arrest report or the booking sheet. It also points to the courts that hear cases after a booking and to state tools that cover Benton County.

How Rogers 24 Hour Booking Works

Rogers sits in Benton County in the far northwest part of the state. It is one of the largest cities in Arkansas and close to the Walmart home office. The Rogers Police Department handles most arrests inside the city. After an arrest, the officer drives the person to the Benton County Jail in Bentonville. The sheriff's staff takes the booking there. They log the name, date of birth, charge, and bond. That log is the 24 hour booking record. It shows up on the county jail dashboard.

Rogers does not run its own full jail. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-41-502, the county sheriff runs the county jail. The city pays a daily fee for each person held. That rule is the same for cities all across Arkansas. So for a Rogers 24 hour booking, you look at Benton County.

Rogers PD keeps its own arrest report for each case. The report lists the officer, the scene, and the facts of the arrest. It is a separate file from the booking sheet at the jail. Both are open under Arkansas FOIA, Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq. Open investigation notes can be held back while a case is live under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(b)(6).

Start at the city site for all offices, including the police department. Here is the Rogers city site.

From the city home page, you can click through to the police department, the records division, and the FOIA contact. The city lists phone numbers and office hours for each office too.

Rogers Police Department and Arrest Records

The Rogers Police Department is at 1905 S Dixieland Road. The main number is (479) 636-4141. The non-emergency line is also (479) 636-4141. Office hours for the Records Division run Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Rogers PD handles city law duty and books its own arrestees into the Benton County jail.

The department takes FOIA requests at the Records Division. Submit a request with the date of the incident, the name of the person, the case number if known, and the record you want. You can drop off a request in person during business hours or mail one in.

Rogers PD has three business days to reply under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(c). Copy fees are capped at 25 cents a page under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(d). Staff time is not billable. Certified copies cost more than plain paper. Most departments do not charge for digital copies sent by email.

A good records request to Rogers PD should include:

• Full name of the person
• Date and rough time of the incident
• Location of the incident
• Case number if known
• Specific records you want

For the full FOIA rules, see the Arkansas FOIA Handbook at the state Attorney General site. The AG also has a FOIA hotline at (501) 682-2007.

Benton County Jail and Rogers Booking

The Benton County Jail holds Rogers arrestees after booking. The sheriff runs the intake desk. For the full set of county tools, see the Benton County 24 hour booking page. That page has the sheriff's phone, the jail address, and the FOIA contact for the sheriff's office.

The sheriff runs a public jail dashboard online. It shows who is in custody at the Benton County Jail. You can search by name or by booking date. The dashboard lists the charge, bond, and booking date. Some records also show the mugshot. The sheriff's online tool is called the jail dashboard.

Bond is set by a judge or by a bond schedule. Most people post bond within a day or two of the booking. Those who cannot post bond stay at the jail until the next court date. First court dates for Rogers misdemeanors go to the Rogers District Court. Felony cases head to the Benton County Circuit Court in Bentonville.

The jail takes bookings from Rogers PD, Bentonville PD, Siloam Springs PD, the sheriff's deputies, and Arkansas State Police. So the 24 hour booking roster can be long. Look for the arresting agency name on each booking record to see where the arrest came from.

Request 24 Hour Booking Records in Rogers

Arkansas FOIA rules let any Arkansas citizen ask for these records. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(a)(1)(A) ties the right to request to state citizenship. You do not have to say why you want the file. You do not have to use the word FOIA. But you do have to name the record.

For a Rogers 24 hour booking, the FOIA path runs to two offices. Rogers PD has the arrest report. Benton County Sheriff has the booking sheet. Both are open under FOIA. Both can charge up to 25 cents a page. Neither can bill for staff time.

The Attorney General FOIA page has sample letters and a hotline. Most requests get filled in three business days or less. Complex requests may take more time but the agency must still reply in three days to say when the file will be ready.

If you cannot get the record from the agency, Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-107 lets you sue in circuit court. The judge can rule in a few days. If you win, the court can make the agency pay your fees. That rule puts real teeth into the FOIA.

Court Records After a Rogers Booking

Each 24 hour booking in Rogers leads to a court file. Misdemeanor cases go to the Rogers District Court. Felony cases go to the Benton County Circuit Court in Bentonville. The Circuit Clerk keeps the full file for each felony case. You can view court files in person at the Benton County Courthouse. Copies run 25 cents a page under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(d).

Benton County takes part in the state online case search. Look up open cases at Arkansas CourtConnect. The tool shows the case style, the filing date, the charge code, the judge, and the next court date. It does not post the mugshot. It does not always show the bond.

If the case ends in a prison term, the person leaves the county jail and goes to the state prison. The Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate search tracks state prison inmates. It does not track county jail holds.

For jail custody moves, use VINELink. The free service tracks people in most county jails across the state. Benton County feeds its data to VINE. VINELink sends free alerts by email or phone when a person is moved or released.

Other Agencies Tied to Rogers Booking

A few other forces can put a person in the Benton County jail. Arkansas State Police handle some highway and felony cases in the area. Bentonville PD and Siloam Springs PD also book into the same jail. The U.S. Marshals may hold a federal defendant in the county jail on contract. The Arkansas Division of Community Correction may put a parole hold on a person already at the jail.

The Arkansas Crime Information Center runs a $22 name based background check tool. ACIC keeps the state central criminal history file. It does not post a 24 hour booking roster.

The Arkansas Sex Offender Registry is a public tool. It shows photos, addresses, and prior offenses of people who must register under state law. It is not a 24 hour booking tool but can tie into a booking record if the person has a prior sex offense.

The Arkansas Counties Association has a full directory of all 75 sheriffs in the state. Use it to find contact info for any sheriff if the person may have been booked in a county other than Benton.

What a Rogers 24 Hour Booking Sheet Shows

A Rogers 24 hour booking sheet holds the same core facts as any Arkansas booking. The fields are set by the jail management system at the Benton County Jail. Most 24 hour booking records list the full name and date of birth of the person, plus race, sex, height, and weight. The sheet names the arresting agency. It logs the booking time, the booking number, and each charge with the Arkansas Code cite.

Bond info is on the sheet too. Bond may be cash, surety, property, or own recognizance. The bond amount is set by a judge or by a bond schedule in the local court. For most Rogers misdemeanors, bond is set by standing order and can be paid at the jail. For a felony, bond is set at first appearance.

The mugshot is part of the booking file. The Arkansas FOIA Handbook says: "Mug shots are public records." Some mugshots post right to the sheriff's jail dashboard. Others need a FOIA request.

Some parts of the booking file can be held back. Medical and mental health notes are closed. Social security numbers get redacted. Juvenile records are closed under Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309. Open investigation files can be held while the case is live. The basic booking facts stay open even during an open case.
