It is important to be aware of the relationship between incidents, arrests, and charges. An incident, which is identified by a unique ICR number, can involve one or more arrestee. Each arrestee for a given incident is identified by a unique arrest number ending in a 2-digit sequence number. So, for example, the arrest number 02070699902 identifies the second suspect arrested for an incident since it ends in “02”. For any given arrest there may be multiple charges. For example, a suspect can be arrested for burglary and vandalism. Each specific charge assigned to an arrest is identified by a sequence number beginning with a “C” to signify the sequence number applies to a charge.
When requesting additional information for an arrest, it is helpful to provide the arrest number.
