Learn More About Indianapolis Arrest

An arrest warrant is the first step of any criminal investigation. Like all the other cities in the state of Indiana in the United States of America, Indianapolis also witnesses a number of arrests each year for various criminal activities. An arrest warrant is an official report issued which grants the police the right to arrest the person the warrant is issued against. The arrest warrants are issued against an individual when he or she is suspected of committing a crime. The state of Indianapolis maintains a record of all the arrests in the state.

Arrest Records

These arrest records that are maintained and made available for the city of Indianapolis are a vast pool of data containing all the relevant information pertaining to any Indianapolis arrest (in Indiana). There is information regarding the name of the individual, alias if he or she has any, the charges he or she was arrested for, whether the charges were proven true and if he or she was convicted guilty and also the punishment inflicted upon him/her. The records also contain personal details about the individual such as the physical appearance, date of birth, height, weight, the past records and so on. But the criminal records in the state that are accessible online contain a record of the felonies and class A misdemeanor arrests, making the resources a bit limited.
