Lauderdale County Arrest Records

Alabama law classifies arrest records as public documents. The Alabama Open Records Act mandates that law enforcement agencies grant access to these documents upon requests or issue a written explanation detailing the reasons for the refusal. While booking logs are open for inspection, Lauderdale County custodian agencies restrict access to arrest information that relates to juveniles, expunged or sealed records, and ongoing law enforcement investigations.

Typically, a Lauderdale County arrest record contains the following information:

• The full name and gender of the arrestee
• Date of birth
• Case number
• Date, time, and location of the arrest
• Arresting agency
• Criminal charges against the arrested person
• Current housing information
• Bail or bond amount.
