Arrest Alerts by Email When a New Record Appears
Arrest alerts tell you when a new public record appears for a person you follow. MugshotLookup checks arrest, booking and court sources for the people on your list and sends an email with the record type, the jurisdiction, the date and the source. You choose who is monitored and you can stop at any time.
Searches are private. The person you search is not notified.
How arrest alerts work
Open a report and click Monitor this person. The person is added to your monitoring list.
MugshotLookup checks the record sources for that person on a regular schedule.
When a new record appears, you get an email. The alert names the record type, the jurisdiction, the date and the source.
Open the record in your account to see the full row, or stop monitoring from the alert itself.
What triggers an alert
| Record type | What the alert tells you |
|---|---|
| New arrest or booking record | Arresting agency, county, booking date and the source |
| New court record | Court, case number, filing date and the source |
| Change to a case | New status or disposition reported by the court |
An alert reports that a record appeared. It does not judge the person. An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may have been dropped, dismissed or resulted in acquittal.
Who uses public record monitoring
- People keeping track of a relative who has been in and out of county jail.
- People who want to know if someone who harmed them is arrested again.
- People watching their own name, so they learn about a record before anyone else does.
- Reporters and researchers following the people in a story or a case, for purposes outside the FCRA.

Safeguards built into monitoring
Monitoring is for staying informed, not for following someone's daily life. Alerts cover public records only. They never include a live location, and the monitored person is not contacted. Monitoring may not be used for employment, tenant screening, credit, insurance or any other purpose covered by the FCRA, and accounts that use it to harass or stalk a person are closed.
If a record about you triggers alerts and it is wrong, ask for a correction for free on the opt-out page.
Monitoring and official victim notification
If you are the victim of a crime, your state likely runs a custody notification service that tells you when an offender is released or transferred. Many states use VINE, a service you register for through your state or at vinelink.com. Use that service for release dates. MugshotLookup alerts cover new public records and do not replace it.
Monitoring questions
Does the person know I am monitoring them?
No. Monitoring is private. The person is not notified and your list is not shown to other users.
How fast does an alert arrive?
An alert is sent after a source publishes the record and our next check picks it up. Agencies publish on their own schedules, so timing differs by county and by court.
Can I stop monitoring someone?
Yes. Remove the person from your list in your account, or use the Stop monitoring link in any alert email.
