A written request should include the person's full name, the date of the incident, and the report or case number if you have it. The city keeps the officer report and the incident file. The county keeps the booking sheet, mugshot, and bond records. A case can move from one to the other, so some requests need both.

Booking Records After Conway Recent Arrests

Once bond is posted or the case closes, the person leaves the active roster. Old bookings stay available by FOIA or by ACIC history checks.

Mugshots are public in Arkansas. The Faulkner County roster often shows them live while the person is held. FOIA requests can pull mugshots for past inmates. A court seal or expungement can remove the record from public view later. The Conway Police incident file may also contain dash cam, body cam, or 911 call audio tied to the arrest.
