Greenburgh Booking Records Under New York Law

New York's Freedom of Information Law (Public Officers Law Sections 84 through 90) gives the public the right to access booking records. You can get inmate rosters, booking dates, charges, bail amounts, and basic identifying information. Medical records, disciplinary files, and security details are exempt.

Correction Law Section 500-c requires the county to maintain accurate records of all people in custody. These records form the basis of what you can request through FOIL. When a case ends in dismissal, CPL 160.50 kicks in and seals the arrest and prosecution records. CPL 160.59 lets people apply to seal up to two old convictions after a ten-year period.

DCJS maintains the state criminal history repository, and those records are not available through FOIL. You can get your own record through the Record Review process by submitting fingerprints. DCJS does not release records to third parties or businesses that sell background checks.

Sex crimes and non-drug Class A felonies will not be sealed. Law enforcement, prosecutors, and the courts will still have access to all records regardless of sealing.

What Happens After an Arrest in Greenburgh

When Greenburgh Police arrest someone, the person gets processed at the department and then transported to the Westchester County jail in Valhalla if they need to be held. At intake, staff take fingerprints and mugshots, do a medical screening, and log all charge information into the system. An arraignment before a judge follows within 24 hours.

The Westchester County jail in Valhalla is one of the largest county facilities in the state. With capacity for over 500 inmates, it processes arrests from all across the county. Booking records from intake become part of the public record under FOIL. Fingerprints go to DCJS for the state criminal history repository. That state-level data is separate from what the county holds and is not available through FOIL.

If bail is posted or the person is released on recognizance, they leave custody. But the booking record stays in the system. If you are trying to find someone who was recently arrested but is no longer in jail, you may need to use court records through WebCrims or file a FOIL request for the booking file.
