Antioch Arrest Records

Antioch recent arrest records come from two places. The Antioch Police Department publishes a weekly adult arrest report on its website. The Contra Costa County Sheriff runs the jail system and maintains the inmate database. Between these two sources, you can find booking data for people arrested in Antioch. The county search tool is free and available online at all hours. The city's weekly report gives a broader view of arrest activity. Antioch sits in eastern Contra Costa County and has its own police force that handles local law enforcement.

Antioch Arrest and Booking Process

Antioch PD officers patrol the city and make arrests. After taking someone into custody, they transport the person to a Contra Costa County detention facility for booking. The Martinez Detention Facility at 901 Court Street, Martinez, CA 94553, is one option. Its phone number is (925) 335-4600. The West County Detention Facility at 5555 Giant Highway in Richmond is the other main jail. That number is (510) 262-4200. Which facility someone goes to depends on available space and classification.

Booking creates a record in the county system. Name, date of birth, charges, bail amount, booking date, and arresting agency all get logged. For Antioch arrests, the record shows Antioch PD as the arresting agency. This data then appears in the county's online inmate reports tool.

How to Search Antioch Recent Arrests

You have two good options. First, Antioch PD publishes a weekly adult arrest report on the city website. This shows arrests made by Antioch officers over the past week. It gives you a snapshot of recent activity. Second, the Contra Costa County Sheriff's inmate reports page covers anyone currently in county custody. Use the dropdown menu to pick the report type. You can search for specific people or browse the full list.

The county system covers more ground. It includes arrests from all cities in Contra Costa County, not just Antioch. But the Antioch PD report is specifically focused on local arrests. Together they give you a complete picture. If you need a quick answer about whether someone is in jail right now, the county tool is your best bet. If you want to see all recent Antioch arrests in one place, the city report is more useful.

The California DOJ online form is used to request public records from the state. This is a separate channel from the county and city searches.

California DOJ public records request form for state-level Antioch arrest data

State-level requests go through the DOJ's Public Records Coordinator. The process follows the California Public Records Act with a 10-day response window.

Antioch Arrest Disclosure Rules

California law makes arrest information public. Government Code 7923.610 says law enforcement must share the full name, occupation, physical description, date of birth, arrest and booking dates, location, circumstances, bail, release info, and all charges. Antioch PD and the Contra Costa County Sheriff both follow this law. They can only refuse to share a detail when it would put someone at risk or hurt an active investigation.

This is the same law that applies statewide. It went into effect on January 1, 2023, and replaced earlier provisions. For Antioch residents, it guarantees access to basic booking data. The weekly arrest report that Antioch PD publishes is one way the department meets this requirement.

Sealing Antioch Arrest Records

An arrest in Antioch that did not result in a conviction can potentially be sealed. Penal Code 851.87 lets you petition Contra Costa County Superior Court. If the court grants the petition, the arrest record gets sealed from most background check databases. You can then tell people you were not arrested for that offense. This is valuable for anyone who had charges dropped, dismissed, or who was found not guilty.

Automatic relief under AB 1076 applies to certain misdemeanor arrests from 2021 onward. The DOJ reviews records monthly. If the charges were dismissed or never filed within a year, the arrest can be cleared without any action on your end. No petition needed. No hearing. The system handles it automatically.

Note: Automatic arrest relief runs monthly through the DOJ and requires no paperwork from the person.

Review Your Antioch Criminal Record

Want to see what is on your record? The California DOJ record review lets you check. Submit your fingerprints through Live Scan and pay $25. The DOJ sends a complete summary of every arrest on your California criminal history. This covers Antioch, Contra Costa County, and every other jurisdiction in the state. Fee waivers are available for those who qualify. This service is for your own record only.

Challenge any errors using form BCIA 8706. The DOJ investigates and makes corrections. Since background check providers pull from DOJ records, fixing errors at the state level can have a big impact on what shows up when someone runs a check on you.

State Prison Search from Antioch

If someone was arrested in Antioch, convicted, and sent to state prison, the county inmate search will not show them. Instead, use the CDCR inmate search (CIRIS). It covers everyone in the California state prison system. Search by name or CDCR number. The tool shows facility, admission date, and parole information. For phone help, call CDCR's Identification Unit at (916) 445-6713 during business hours.
