Corona Quick Facts
Corona Police Records Section
The Corona Police Department Records Section processes all public records requests for the city. Visit the Corona PD Records Section page for information on how to request arrest records and police reports. The section operates as part of the Support Services Division.
To request arrest records, contact the Records Section by phone or visit the police station. Provide the name of the person arrested and the date if known. Case numbers speed up the search process. The more information you give, the faster staff can locate your records.
California law requires agencies to respond to records requests within 10 days. They must tell you if they have the records and when they will be ready. Simple requests often get filled quickly. Complex requests may take longer if staff need to review many files or redact private information.
Records available from Corona PD include:
- Arrest reports and booking logs
- Traffic collision reports
- Crime reports for victims
- Police incident reports
- Call logs and statistics
Fees vary based on the type of record and how you want to receive it. Digital copies sent by email usually cost less than printed copies. The department will tell you the total cost before completing your request. Payment is required before records are released.
Public Police Blotter Data
Under Government Code Section 7923.600, Corona police must make certain arrest information public. This includes the name of every person arrested, their age and physical description, the time and date of arrest, the location of the arrest, and the charges filed. Bail amounts are also public information.
Some details may be withheld if releasing them would harm an ongoing investigation. Basic booking facts are always public. Arrest information shows charges at the time of booking. Final charges may be different after prosecutors review the case. Court records show what happens after the initial arrest.
You do not need to explain why you want public records. Anyone can request arrest information. Some personal details may be redacted to protect privacy, but core arrest facts are available to the public in California.
Note: Arrest records show allegations and do not prove guilt until a court conviction.
