Bergen County arrest records provide official summaries of apprehensions or the frequency of arrests made in the county within a specific period.

Bergen County Arrest records are in the custody of the Sheriff’s Office who also forwards the information to the New Jersey State Police at the state level. Access to these records is restricted to only the persons mentioned in the record and a few other criminal justice agents. Individuals can get their Bergen arrest record by visiting or sending mail requests to the Sheriff’s Office at:

What Are Bergen County Criminal Records?
