There is no set form you have to use. A simple letter or email works fine. Be specific about what you want. Ask for the booking record, mugshot, or arrest report by name and date. Vague requests take longer because staff have to figure out what you mean.

Copy fees are typically $0.10 per page for standard copies. If your request needs a lot of staff time to fill, the agency can charge for labor too. They must send you a cost estimate before doing work that costs over $40. You can narrow your request to cut costs.
