Alabama Arrests works to keep its county guides, contact details, and process explanations accurate — but public-records systems change constantly. Agencies move offices, counties switch software, fees get updated, and phone numbers get reassigned. If you’ve spotted something wrong, outdated, or just confusing, please let us know. A quick report from you helps every reader who lands on that page after you.
What to report
Any of the following are worth flagging:
- A link to a county or state records portal that is broken or leads to the wrong page
- A phone number, mailing address, office hour, or fee that no longer matches what the agency actually has
- Information on our site that conflicts with what an official source now says
- A typo, a confusing instruction, or a step in a process that seems out of order
- A records search tool or court portal that has moved or been replaced
To help us fix the issue quickly, include three things: the web address of the page you were on, a brief description of what looks wrong, and — if you have it — the correct information along with where you saw it (for example, the official county website or court portal). You don’t need to share your name or any personal details.
What we can fix — and what we can’t
We can fix anything wrong in our own guidance. A bad link, an outdated fee, a disconnected phone number, a step that’s no longer accurate — that’s exactly what the form above is for, and we take those reports seriously.
What we cannot do is change, remove, seal, or hide an official record. Alabama Arrests is an informational guide. We do not hold or control any arrest, court, or jail records. Those records belong to the agencies and courts that created them, and only those bodies have the authority to alter or seal them.
If your goal is to have an Alabama arrest record sealed or cleared, that happens through the courts — not through us. The legal process is called expungement, and it covers certain misdemeanors, violations, traffic offenses, and municipal offenses under Alabama law. Our Alabama arrest records guide explains how that process works and where to begin. If we’ve gotten a detail about expungement wrong in that guide, please do report it and we’ll verify and correct it.
How we handle your report
Every report submitted through this form comes to the AL Arrests Editorial Team. We do our best to review each one. When we can confirm an issue against the official primary source — the agency’s website, a court portal, or a published fee schedule — we apply the correction. Most confirmed changes go live within 48 hours. Some take a little longer when we need to reach out to an agency directly or wait for an official page to be updated on their end.
We genuinely appreciate every report. Accurate public-records information depends on readers who take a moment to flag what needs a second look. Thank you for helping keep Alabama Arrests useful and honest.
