Arrest information for the people.

We collect public data from hundreds of sources through out the United States. This amounts to thousands of records a day. We take this public information and make it easier, and faster to find.

Using our in-house data collection technology, we have cataloged millions of arrest details and photos. Providing a valuable service to the public.
