Official Jackson County criminal-record questions usually belong with the office that created or maintains the record. The contacts below distinguish the Newport circuit clerk's court files from sheriff reports and bookings, city police records, and Arkansas State Police background checks. This is a private reference resource, not a government records counter.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private resource cannot retrieve official records, perform official checks, correct agency files, or accept Arkansas sealing petitions. Those services must come from the responsible public office.

Need an Official Record?

Use the record type to choose the correct Jackson County or Arkansas contact:

  • Court case files: contact the Jackson County Circuit Clerk or the city or district court that heard the case
  • Criminal histories and official checks: use Arkansas State Police and the ARCH or fingerprint channel
  • Arrest, booking, and jail records: contact the Jackson County Sheriff's Office
  • Police reports and incident records: contact the agency that wrote the report
  • Record sealing: begin with the court that entered the disposition

For sheriff reports, booking, jail, and local registration questions, contact the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, 615 Second Street, Newport, AR 72112, phone 870-523-5842.
