New Jersey Arrest Records

Basic arrest information in New Jersey is public under OPRA: the name of the person arrested, the charges, and the circumstances of the arrest. Request it from the arresting agency's records custodian.

What is and is not public

Arrest and charge information is generally disclosable. Records tied to an active criminal investigation, expunged matters, and juvenile records are exempt. A custodian denying access must give a lawful reason.
