St. Lawrence County Arrest Records

St. Lawrence County arrest records are considered public per New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), codified in New York Public Officers Law, Article 6, Sections 84 to 90. The law affords everyone the right to access records pertaining to official actions of government agencies, including arrests made by law enforcement agencies.

However, New York FOIL is not absolute. Law enforcement agencies may restrict access to arrest and other records they maintain for several reasons. Most notably, if disclosing the record would interfere with an ongoing law enforcement investigation or judicial proceedings. Additionally, sealed arrest records (N.Y. Criminal Procedure §160.59), juvenile arrest records (N.Y. Family Court Act §381.3), and mugshots (New York Public Officers Law §89 2(b) viii) are also exempt from public access.
