Maumelle Criminal Records Overview
Maumelle Police Department
The Maumelle Police Department is at 2002 Murphy Dr, Maumelle, AR 72113. Chief Cory Pickard leads the department. The MPD handles all law enforcement within Maumelle city limits, covering arrests, incident reports, traffic enforcement, and criminal investigations. When Maumelle officers make an arrest, the person is booked into the Pulaski County Detention Facility, which is the county jail serving Maumelle and the rest of Pulaski County.
Incident reports and arrest records held by the Maumelle Police Department are public under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, § 25-19-101 et seq. To get copies, submit a FOIA request through the Pulaski County Public Records Portal at nextrequest.com. The portal is the formal intake point for written public records requests in Pulaski County. When you access the portal, describe the records you want. Be specific: include the type of document (police report, arrest record, audio recording, video footage, or other government document), the name of the person involved, and the approximate date. You also need to provide your own name, phone number, email address, and mailing address so the agency can follow up or send copies. Agencies must respond within three business days.
For general questions, the city of Maumelle can be reached through Mayor Caleb Norris at calebnorris@maumelle.org or 501-851-2500. The mayor's office does not handle public records requests directly but can point you toward the right contact if you are not sure which department holds the records you need.
Records from active investigations, materials related to juvenile subjects, and documents sealed by a court order are not available through FOIA. If a request is denied, the Arkansas Attorney General's Office at 800-482-8982 can help you understand whether the denial was valid and what steps to take.
Pulaski County Sheriff and Inmate Roster
The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office is at 2900 S. Woodrow, Little Rock, AR 72201. Phone: (501) 340-6600. The sheriff operates the county detention facility, which holds people arrested by any law enforcement agency in Pulaski County, including Maumelle Police. The jail booking process captures each person's charge information, bond status, and basic identifying details.
The Pulaski County Sheriff maintains an online inmate roster through the Zuercher Portal at pulaski-so-ar.zuercherportal.com. This is an official county resource. You can search current detainees by name. Each result shows mugshot, race, date of birth, sex, arrest date, charges, and bond information. The portal also shows people who have been recently released, not just those currently in custody. This matters if you are trying to confirm that someone was booked even if they have already posted bond and left the facility.
Warrant checks for Maumelle residents go through the Pulaski County Sheriff as well. Active warrants are public records under § 25-19-101 et seq. If you need to verify whether a warrant exists, contact the sheriff at (501) 340-6600 or search the Zuercher Portal. The portal does not display a separate warrant list but is the best starting point for current custody status in Pulaski County.
For victims who need to track custody status, VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) is available by phone at 1-800-510-0415. VINE sends automated alerts when a person in Pulaski County custody is released, transferred, or has a status change. Registration is free and does not require personal contact with law enforcement.
Pulaski County Circuit Clerk and Court Records
The Pulaski County Circuit Clerk is at 401 W Markham Street, Suite 100, Little Rock, AR 72201. Phone: (501) 340-8500. The clerk's website is pulaskiclerkar.gov.
