How to Get Arrest Records in Cumberland County

There are several ways to get arrest records and busted mugshots from Cumberland County. The method depends on what you need and how far back the records go. Online tools work for recent data. Older records may need an in-person visit or a formal request.

Under the Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.), anyone can ask for government records in New Jersey. This law is called OPRA. You file a request with the records custodian at the agency that holds the data. For arrest records in Cumberland County, that is usually the Department of Corrections or the County Clerk at 856-453-4860. The agency must respond within seven business days. They can charge a small fee for copies. Most basic booking data and busted mugshots fall under this law.

The New Jersey Government Records Council oversees OPRA disputes. If a Cumberland County agency denies your request, you can file a complaint with the Government Records Council. The council will review the denial and issue a ruling. You can also read the full text of OPRA at the GRC website.

Note: N.J.S.A. 2A:58D-4 makes it illegal to charge fees to remove mugshots from websites in New Jersey.
