Cities often establish police departments to provide public safety services and maintain arrest records at the municipal level. Local police departments typically make arrest records available to the public through their records offices. Some may offer online portals for easier access. However, since arrest records are limited to the jurisdiction of the arresting agency, requesters have to determine where the arrest occurred to identify the correct department to contact. The Pasco Police Department and the Connell Police Department are the major local police departments in Franklin County.

The Washington State Patrol (WSP) is responsible for maintaining and providing public access to statewide criminal and arrest records. Residents of Franklin County may obtain arrest records from WSP by conducting a search using the Washington Access to Criminal History (WATCH) portal.
