Conway has about 67,000 residents and is home to three colleges: the University of Central Arkansas, Hendrix College, and Central Baptist College. That mix of long-time families and a large student population means people search work here often crosses city, county, and state lines. The City Clerk holds council files. The Police Department keeps arrest and incident logs. For deeper court files, the Faulkner County Circuit Clerk runs the docket. Use the tools below to start.

Conway City Clerk People Search

The Conway City Clerk's office is at 1200 Oak Street, Conway, AR 72032. The phone is (501) 450-6110. The office is the official keeper of city records. It holds council minutes, ordinances, resolutions, and signed contracts. Files cover building permits, business licenses, and city property records. The clerk also keeps election records for city races and helps run voter info for city precincts. Conway's growth in the past 20 years means the clerk's vault holds a long paper trail on annexations, new subdivisions, and big infrastructure jobs. Most of these files are open under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.

Send a written FOIA request to the clerk for any city record. Under Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-105, the office has three business days to respond. You do not have to give a reason for the request. Anyone can ask, and the clerk does not check the address of the person asking. Copy fees are low. The office can also give you a certified copy with the city seal for a small extra fee. For old files going back to the 1875 incorporation, ask about a research appointment.

Conway Police Department Records

The Conway Police Department Records Section keeps arrest reports, incident reports, and accident reports for the city. To get a copy, fill out a written request with the date, time, location, and the names of those involved. Bring a photo ID. Most accident reports are ready in 5 to 7 business days. Incident reports tied to an active case may be held back until the case closes. Copy fees match the standard schedule used by most Arkansas cities.

The Records Section also runs name based criminal history checks for city licensing and for some background work. Logs of calls for service are open under FOIA, as are booking files and final reports. Records that name a juvenile, that touch a sex crime victim, or that come from an open felony case may be shielded by law. Office hours are weekdays during business hours.

For statewide arrest data, the Arkansas State Police run the official background check system. A name based check at cbc.ark.org costs $22.00. For people held in a state prison, see the Arkansas Department of Correction inmate locator linked below.

Conway District Court Cases

The Conway District Court handles traffic citations, ordinance violations, and misdemeanor criminal cases inside the city. The court also handles small claims cases. Files are public and can be looked up by name or by case number. A typical file shows the citation, the plea, the judgment, and the payment record. Pay tickets online, by mail, or at the clerk's window. Some defendants qualify for payment plans. Community service can take the place of a fine for certain low level offenses.

For higher level criminal cases, civil suits over $5,000, divorce, probate, and juvenile matters, the case lands in Faulkner County Circuit Court. The Faulkner County Circuit Clerk keeps those files.

CourtConnect shows party names, case type, attorneys, and a docket of every step. Sealed and expunged files do not show up. For more detail, see the Faulkner County people search page.
