Arrest History in Beaver County
One Beaver County arrest can create four records. The arresting police department makes an incident or arrest report. The Regional Booking Center, or RBC, creates an intake file at Beaver County Jail. A Magisterial District Court and later the Court of Common Pleas create dockets once charges are filed. Fingerprint-supported data and later court dispositions may also reach the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository.
These records answer different questions. A police report documents allegations and agency action. A booking entry concerns intake and custody. A UJS docket tracks filed charges and their results. A Pennsylvania criminal-history response is person-centered repository data. None alone should be treated as a complete account, and an arrest is not proof of guilt.
No Beaver County Booking Log
Beaver County does not publish an official inmate roster, recent-booking list, name or booking-number search, mugshot gallery, or searchable arrest blotter. The Sheriff, jail, Aliquippa, Beaver Falls, and Ambridge pages inspected for the research offered no such tool. This negative finding changes the lookup path: current custody must be checked by phone, then filed charges through the court portal.
The Beaver County Jail information page shown below is an agency gateway, not a roster.
Call the jail at 724-378-8177 or the RBC main desk at 724-512-2392. Neither official page promises a round-the-clock public lookup service, so treat these as direct custody contacts and call before visiting.
How to Look Up Beaver County Arrests
A complete Beaver County arrest search follows the record from the arresting agency to custody, court, and any later state transfer. Start with location and time. The county's 24-hour Police Center at 724-775-0880 can help identify the correct agency when the responder is unknown.
- Identify the municipal police department, Pennsylvania State Police station, Sheriff, or county detectives that made the arrest.
- Ask that agency for its incident number and report-request process. A city report does not become a Sheriff report.
- Call Beaver County Jail at 724-378-8177 or the RBC desk at 724-512-2392 for current local custody.
- Search UJS Case Search by participant name, Beaver County, and criminal docket type. Check the proper MDJ if a new result is absent.
- Once a Common Pleas case exists, ask Clerk of Courts at 724-770-4590 for public case documents.
- After a state-sentence transfer, use the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections locator.
- For an agency record not routinely released, submit a narrow Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law request to the creating agency.
Recent filings can lag. Aliquippa starts with MDJ 36-3-04, Beaver Falls with 36-1-02, and Ambridge with 36-1-01. A court docket is still not a live jail list.
Inside Beaver County Booking
The Beaver County Sheriff's Office operates the Regional Booking Center inside Beaver County Jail. The county jail itself is at 6000 Woodlawn Boulevard, Aliquippa, Pennsylvania 15001. The RBC processes people brought by local, state, and federal law-enforcement agencies, supports video arraignments, and enters required information into state and federal systems. Historical Sheriff data reports 4,507 bookings among 7,566 RBC log entries in 2018.
Intake can include fingerprints and a booking image, medical and classification screening, and the charges presented at admission. Those fields are not published as public profiles. A 2018 audit documented a separate private intake area, video-arraignment equipment, and 24-hour medical coverage. The jail's PREA protocol also describes an intake booklet and an educational tablet video ordinarily shown within 24 to 48 hours.

What an Arrest Record Shows
A Beaver County agency record may identify the event, responding officers, alleged offense, and actions taken. The separate RBC file concerns identity processing and custody. Availability varies, and investigative facts, victim or witness details, juvenile data, and protected identifiers may be withheld or redacted. The table is a field inventory, not a claim that Beaver County displays these items online.
| Agency event | CAD or incident number, agency, date, time, and location. |
|---|---|
| Allegation | Initial offense description, statute, narrative, and police action. |
| People | Subject identifiers and officer names, with protected victim or witness data redacted. |
| Evidence | Property, attachments, and investigative material when releasable. |
| RBC intake | Intake time, fingerprints, booking image, presenting agency, and charges at intake. |
| Custody | Bail, commitment, release, or transfer information held by the proper custodian. |
Beaver County Police Record Routes
The arresting agency keeps its own report. Beaver County's official police directory lists municipal and state agencies and their stations. Aliquippa Police is at 300 Franklin Avenue and uses 724-378-8000. Beaver Falls Police is at 715 15th Street and uses 724-846-7000. Ambridge Police is at 600 11th Street, with dispatch at 724-266-3270.
The directory screenshot below helps locate the correct custodian across Beaver County's many municipalities.
For Pennsylvania State Police incidents, contact PSP Beaver at 3800 Dutch Ridge Road, Beaver, or 724-773-7400 and use the report-specific PSP channel. Sheriff arrest, warrant, transport, and RBC records remain with the Sheriff rather than a municipal department.

Recent Arrests and Booking Logs
Because Beaver County offers no full public log, selected Pennsylvania State Police Public Information Release Reports are the only identified official incident-publication stream. They are press reports, not a complete list of arrests. A recent event may also be absent from UJS while a complaint is being filed or the online entry catches up.
If no docket appears, check the arresting agency and RBC first. Then retry both the proper MDJ and Common Pleas searches with alternate identifiers. Do not infer that a missing result clears the event, and do not infer guilt from an agency release. Filed charges can differ from the arrest charge after prosecutor review or amendment.
Note: No official Beaver County mobile app or app-only arrest search was identified as of August 3, 2026.
From Beaver County Prints to PATCH
RBC identity processing can connect an arrest cycle to the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository through fingerprints, an OTN, and a State Identification number. Courts later report dispositions. PATCH searches Pennsylvania repository data, but it is not a recent-booking feed and does not supply every police narrative. Reporting delay or a missing disposition can also make one source differ from another.
A person checking their own history should compare the agency report, UJS docket, certified Beaver County disposition, and PSP Access and Review report. Access and Review includes the subject's Pennsylvania convictions and nonconvictions and uses its own mail process. A certified disposition can support a PSP challenge when the repository does not reflect the final court result.
After Beaver County Jail Transfer
Beaver County Jail holds local pretrial and county custody. A person sentenced or transferred to the state system should be searched in the Pennsylvania DOC Inmate/Parolee Locator. It covers the state-sentenced and state-supervised population, not people currently held at the county jail.
The locator form pictured below uses name or inmate/parole number and updates daily.
A state result can show an institutional assignment or supervision office. It should not be read as proof that the person remains at Beaver County Jail or is wanted.
Arrests vs Convictions
An arrest records an allegation and a law-enforcement action. A conviction requires a guilty plea, no-contest plea, or guilty verdict followed by judgment. Between those points, a charge may be withdrawn, dismissed, amended, diverted, or end in acquittal. Read the final court disposition, not just the intake label.
| Point | Arrest record | Conviction record |
|---|---|---|
| Created by | Police or Regional Booking Center | Court, then reported to PSP |
| What it proves | An allegation and official action occurred | A guilty outcome was entered |
| Charges | Initial charges at arrest or intake | Charge-specific final results |
| Best check | Creating agency and custody contacts | UJS docket and Clerk disposition |
For the procedural outcome, read the full Beaver County criminal court case rather than relying on a booking entry.
Note: An arrest is not proof of guilt, and each charge on a docket can have a different outcome.
Requesting Beaver County Booking Records
When a booking or Sheriff administrative record is not routinely supplied, use Beaver County's standard Right-to-Know request form and identify the event as narrowly as possible. Sheriff Agency Open Records Officer Stacey L. Householder is listed at the courthouse, 810 Third Street, Beaver, with phone 724-770-4444 and fax 724-728-5080. Investigative information can be exempt.
Judicial records take a different path. Request an MDJ record through the court's Rule 509 procedure or a Common Pleas document from the Clerk. Sending a court-file request through RTKL can delay the search because Pennsylvania's judiciary uses its own access policies.
