Cuyahoga Falls follows the same rules as every other city in Ohio. The records division at the police department is the public office you deal with for local busted mugshots.

To request a record, you have a few options. Call 330-971-8303 and ask for the report you need. Go in person to the police lobby at 2310 Second Street during business hours. Or submit a request through the department website. You will need to know some details about the arrest. A name helps. A date or case number speeds things up. The clerk pulls the file and gets it to you. There is no charge for basic inspection of records. Copy fees are minimal. Video records cost more because of the time it takes to review and redact them.

Sealing Cuyahoga Falls Arrest Records

Ohio lets people seal certain criminal records under ORC Section 2953.32. This is sometimes called expungement. Once a record gets sealed, it drops out of public searches. Law enforcement and courts still have access. Not every offense can be sealed. Violent crimes and sex offenses are usually excluded. The waiting period depends on the type of charge. You file in the court where the conviction happened. The prosecutor can object. A judge decides.

If the court grants the seal, BCI updates its files. After that, you can legally say the conviction did not happen in most situations. Recent changes to Ohio law expanded who qualifies. Some people with more than one conviction can now apply. If you have a Cuyahoga Falls busted mugshot tied to a case that was dismissed or that you were found not guilty on, sealing may be an option worth looking into.
