Fremont Quick Facts
Fremont Police Records Division
The Fremont Police Department Records Division processes all public records requests for the city. The division charges sixteen dollars per report. You can call (510) 790-6860 to request arrest records and police reports.
To request arrest records, provide the name of the person arrested and the date if known. Include any case numbers or report numbers you have. The more details you provide, the easier it is for staff to locate your records.
California law requires agencies to respond within 10 days. They must tell you if they have the records and when they will be available. Simple requests are often filled quickly. Complex requests may take longer if staff need to review many files or redact private information.
Records available from Fremont PD include:
- Arrest reports and booking logs ($16 per report)
- Traffic collision reports
- Crime reports for victims
- Police incident reports
- Activity logs and statistics
The sixteen dollar fee applies to most police reports. Some records may have different fees. The department will inform you of the total cost before completing your request. Payment is required before records are released.
Public Arrest Information
Under Government Code Section 7923.600, Fremont 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 records.
Some details may be withheld if releasing them would interfere with 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 arrest.
Anyone can request public records. You do not need to explain why you want arrest information. Some personal details may be redacted for 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.
