What Are Allegheny County Arrest Records?
Allegheny County arrest records provide information on all the events that led to an arrest. Local law enforcement agencies generate arrest records when a suspect is held in custody. Arrest records contain background details of the subject such as name, date of birth, physical features as well as details about the arrest warrant, the arresting officer, and the name and date of the arrest.
Generally, the Allegheny County Sheriff maintains Allegheny County arrest records. Also, arrest documents are the purview of the arresting agency. Under normal conditions, arrest records are public records in Pennsylvania.
