How to Search Cass County Arrest Records?
On average, Cass County documents about 350 arrests per year, contributing to North Dakota's total of 29,000 annual arrests. Access to public records, including arrest records, is governed by the North Dakota Century Code (N.D.C.C.) § 44-04-18, which states that all records of a public entity are considered public unless otherwise restricted by law. These records are open for copying and inspection during office hours.
While most arrest records are public, some are unavailable due to court-ordered seals or because their release could compromise ongoing investigations. Requesting copies of arrest records may involve a fee ranging from $1 to $15. Access to restricted arrest records is limited to specific individuals and entities, including the person named in the record, law enforcement agencies for official investigations, authorized legal representatives, and the Cass County State's Attorney's Office.
