Boise Arrests: Online Information

It is the responsibility of the Ada County Sheriff’s Office to preserve and maintain all the arrest records of the county, including the Boise arrest. You can have a look at the arrests made in the county in the last 5 days from the following link: http://www.adasheriff.org/ArrestsReport/.

Updated on a regular basis, this database gives you details of all the accused arrested from the county, including the details of those arrested from Boise City. The results on the date range desired reveals the name, address, age, custody status, booking date, arresting agency, severity of the crimes committed, charges brought against, and the court date of the offender along with a mug shot.

All records related to the law enforcement are public in Idaho and therefore you can access all the Boise arrest records from the Ada County Sheriff’s Office database. But there are certain restrictions on what information is available for the public use, as stated by the Idaho Statute 9-335. The records of any ongoing investigations are not available for public viewing. You also cannot access the juvenile arrest records or the details of the witnesses or victims of crimes in cases where the criminal has been put under arrest.

Nonetheless you can request for public records by filling out the form available from http://www.adasheriff.org/Records/RecordRequestForm_Dec2008_form.pdf. You need to download the form and print it in order to use it. The form must be completed and you need to specify the record you are requesting. You also need to provide your full name, address and the contact information so that the request can be communicated to you. This form can be submitted in person or mailed to the following address: Ada County Sheriff's Office Records Division, 7200 Barrister, Boise, Idaho.

If the records that you request are less in volume, they may be delivered to you free of charge. If the volume of the records you are requesting is heavy, you may need to pay a processing fee. The fee depends on how voluminous the record is and what kind of information it contains. The details of the fee structure are outlined by the Idaho Statute 9-338.

After you have submitted the request you need to wait for about 3-10 days for the record asked for. Again the volume of the record determines how much time is necessary to process it. But the request needs to be approved.
