Sedgwick County Arrest Records

Sedgwick County arrest records document individuals taken into custody by law enforcement departments within the county. Under KORA, these documents are open to inspection, and members of the public may obtain copies. As a result, arresting agencies in the county, including the Sheriff's Office and municipal police departments such as the Sedgwick and Wichita Police Departments, make this information accessible to requesters.

The extent of information disclosed from a Sedgwick County arrest file may vary depending on the requester's level of authorization. The information available to a member of the public may differ from that accessible to the subject of the file, law enforcement personnel, or a member of the judiciary.

Individuals may find information such as the arrestee's mugshot, identifying characteristics (sex, race, age, height, weight, and name), the arresting agency, and the booking date and time. However, certain details are exempt from disclosure, including medical information, social security numbers, and driver's license numbers. Likewise, juvenile arrest information is unavailable to the public. Sensitive information contained in arrest files is not subject to public inspection.
