El Paso Arrest Records
El Paso booking reports involve two main agencies: the El Paso Police Department, which handles city arrests and incident records, and the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, which manages the county detention facilities where most arrested individuals are held. EPPD operates a records portal at eppd.org where you can request police reports and public records online. The county jail system, which includes the Downtown Detention Facility and the El Paso County Jail Annex, holds booking data tied to arrests made throughout El Paso County.

How to Access El Paso Police Records Online
EPPD maintains an online records and reports section at eppd.org/public-services/records-reports. That page provides a secure online request system for police records, official reports, and public documents. You can use it to submit a formal public information request without going to the police station in person. The system tracks your request and sends updates as it is processed.
Background checks from EPPD cost $6.00. You pay by cash, money order, or check. The department processes those within about 10 business days, and you should include a return mailing address with your request. Police reports and incident reports have standard copy fees of $0.10 per page. Accident reports are $6.00. Audio and video materials are released on a cost recovery basis, meaning the department charges for the actual time and materials involved in producing them.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office site at epcounty.com/sheriff/ provides information about county detention facilities and how to access inmate information. The county portal shows current detainees and recent releases. You can search by name or booking number. Requests for official copies of county booking records go through the Sheriff's Office or the County Clerk, not through EPPD.
Note: For arrests made outside the city limits in El Paso County, the records would be with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office rather than EPPD. The two agencies operate separately even though they cover overlapping geography.
El Paso Police Department Online Resources
The El Paso Police Department website provides public access to records request services, department news, and community safety information.
EPPD's site is the main starting point for city police records. You can find contact information for the Records Division and submit requests for police reports and public documents through the secure online portal.
The EPPD Records and Reports page is specifically for records requests. It walks you through the process of submitting a request, explains what documents are available, and provides contact details for the Records Division.
Using the online system saves time and gives you a record of your submission. For urgent or complex requests, calling 915-212-3200 directly can speed up the process.
The City of El Paso police department page provides additional information about EPPD services, community programs, and links to city government resources connected to public safety.
Both the EPPD domain and the city's main website provide pathways to access booking records and police information. Together they cover most of what you need for El Paso arrest-related records.
What El Paso Booking Reports Contain
El Paso County booking reports are among the more detailed in Texas. A typical report includes the person's full name, race, and sex. It also shows height, weight, and hair and eye color. The arrest date, booking date, and booking number are listed, along with the release date if the person has been processed out. The arresting agency is noted, as is the charge or charges with associated statute references.
El Paso County booking records also include warrant information. If the arrest was tied to an outstanding warrant, the warrant number and issuing authority appear in the record. Bond details are included too: the bond type, bond number, the date the bond was set, the amount, and the current status of the bond. If a bondsman was involved, their name is part of the record as well. The holding facility name is noted at the bottom of the report. This level of detail makes El Paso County booking records useful for tracking the full status of a case from arrest through release.
For statewide criminal history, the Texas DPS Crime Records Division maintains records covering all arrests in Texas. Their site at dps.texas.gov/section/crime-records provides access to background check services and information about how to request a person's full criminal history. That is a separate process from the local booking record and covers arrests from across Texas rather than just El Paso.
