Northumberland County Arrest Records

Northumberland and the rest of Pennsylvania classify arrest records as public documents. Pennsylvania mandates public access to arrest records to ensure democratic oversight of law enforcement actions. However, the state also recognizes that absolute transparency can cause unnecessary harm. Hence, there is a need to create a balance between the public right to know and individuals' right to privacy. Consequently, Northumberland County arrest records are not public if they relate to juveniles, expunged cases, or matters protected by judicial orders.

A typical public-facing Northumberland County arrest record displays:

  • The name and other identifying information about the arrested person
  • The specific criminal charges against the arrestee
  • Case docket number
  • Case status
  • Final case disposition and sentencing details.

Northumberland County does not maintain a public online database or jail roster where individuals can access arrest records. Nonetheless, information seekers can access arrest details as through criminal court records using the UJS Case Search Portal. Alternatively, contact the Northumberland County Prothonotary's Office or visit the Northumberland County Jail at:
