Concord Arrest Records Lookup

Recent arrest records in Concord come from two places. The Concord Police Department makes arrests within city limits and maintains its own records. The Contra Costa County Sheriff handles jail custody and the county-wide inmate database. You can search for someone arrested in Concord online through the county sheriff's inmate reports system. The city also has a public events search tool through its police department. Concord is the largest city in Contra Costa County with around 130,000 residents. Both the city and county systems are free to use and provide different types of arrest-related information.

Concord Arrests and Contra Costa County Jails

The Contra Costa County Sheriff operates two main detention facilities. The Martinez Detention Facility is at 901 Court Street in Martinez, CA 94553. Its phone number is (925) 335-4600. The West County Detention Facility is at 5555 Giant Highway in Richmond, CA 94806, reachable at (510) 262-4200. People arrested in Concord can end up at either location. Martinez is closer to Concord and handles many of the east county bookings.

After a Concord PD officer makes an arrest, the person gets booked into the county jail system. The booking creates a record with the person's name, charges, bail amount, and other details. This data goes into the county's inmate information system. You can search it online or by phone. The county custody information line is (925) 646-4496. It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call if you need a quick answer about whether someone is in custody.

Note: Martinez Detention Facility is the primary booking location for Concord and other east county cities.

Concord Police Department Records

The Concord Police Department has a public events search tool. The Concord P2C Event Search lets you look up police calls for service and events in the city. This is a separate tool from the county inmate search. It gives you a local view of police activity in Concord.

The Concord PD P2C database screenshot below shows the event search tool available to the public.

This tool provides a different angle on Concord arrest activity. While the county search focuses on who is currently in jail, the P2C system shows police activity happening in the city. You can see calls for service, incident types, and location data.

The Concord Police Department is at 1350 Galindo Street in Concord, CA 94520. The general number is (925) 671-3200. For records requests, contact the records division. Arrest reports from Concord PD are available through a standard records request process. The department follows the California Public Records Act timeline, which gives agencies 10 days to respond.

How to Search for Concord Recent Arrests

You have several options for finding arrest records from Concord. The county and city each have online tools. Phone lines are available too. Pick the method that fits what you need.

• Search the Contra Costa County inmate reports for current custody data
• Use the Concord P2C search for local police event data
• Call custody information at (925) 646-4496 for 24/7 inmate status
• Call the Martinez Detention Facility at (925) 335-4600
• Contact Concord PD Records at (925) 671-3200 for report copies

The county inmate reports page offers different report types. You can select from an arrest report or an incident summary report. This gives you flexibility in what information you pull up. The Concord P2C tool is more focused on events and calls for service rather than jail data. Using both tools together gives you a fuller picture of recent arrests in Concord.

Concord Arrest Records Disclosure Requirements

Government Code 7923.610 requires Concord PD and the Contra Costa County Sheriff to release arrest information. The law lists nine categories of data that must be made public after an arrest. These include the person's full name, occupation, physical description, date of birth, arrest time and date, booking time and date, arrest location, factual circumstances, bail amount, release information, and all charges including holds and warrants.

Agencies can only withhold a specific detail if releasing it would endanger someone or damage an ongoing investigation. The rest must be shared. This law has been in effect since January 1, 2023. For Concord residents, it means arrest information is accessible. Both the city police and the county sheriff must follow the same disclosure rules.

Sealing Concord Arrest Records

People arrested in Concord who were never convicted can seek to have those records sealed. Penal Code 851.87 creates a petition process through the Contra Costa County Superior Court. If the court grants the petition, the arrest record is sealed from public view. Most background checks will not show it. You can state that you were not arrested for that charge. This is available when the case was dismissed, never filed, or ended in acquittal.

The automatic relief program under AB 1076 also covers qualifying Concord arrests. The DOJ reviews records monthly and clears eligible misdemeanor arrests from January 2021 forward. Dismissed charges and arrests with no filing within a year qualify. No petition is needed. The state does it automatically. You can verify your record status through the DOJ record review process, which costs $25 and requires Live Scan fingerprinting.

Note: The automatic relief process may take several months to show up on your record after the qualifying event.

The CDCR CIRIS system covers state prison inmates. It is separate from the Contra Costa County jail search.
