How to Get Orangetown Arrest Records

File a FOIL request with the Orangetown Police Department for arrest reports and incident data. The Freedom of Information Law requires the department to respond within five business days. If they need more time, they must say so in writing. Standard copies cost $0.25 per page for requests over five pages. Submit your request in person, by mail, or by email to the records division.

Include the full name of the person, date of birth, and the approximate date of arrest. A case number helps if you have one. The more detail you give, the faster they can pull the file. Some records have limits on what can be released. Records sealed under CPL §160.50 are off limits. That law seals all arrest and prosecution papers when a case ends in the accused person's favor. Acquittals, dismissals, and ACDs all trigger sealing. Photos and fingerprints must be destroyed or sent back.
