Pulaski County Sheriff's Office and Jail Mugshots

The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office is the custodian for every booking photo taken in the county. Sheriff Eric Higgins leads the agency. The main office is at 2900 South Woodrow, Little Rock, AR 72204. The main phone is (501) 340-6600. The Detention Division, Records, and Courts liaison all work out of the sheriff's office. A FOIA clerk on staff handles written requests for arrest reports, incident files, and booking photos.

The sheriff's main web page at pcso.org is the launch point for every Pulaski County jail mugshots search. From there you can open the detention page, the Zuercher roster, the FOIA portal, and the news feed. The site is shown below.

Under Article 7 of the Arkansas Constitution of 1874, the county sheriff is the chief law officer and the custodian of the county jail. That rule is the legal base for why every Pulaski County booking photo is held by the sheriff and not the city or the state. Pulaski County is the largest county in the state by population, which means the booking volume here is higher than in any other jail in Arkansas.

Inside the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility

The Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility is at 3201 West Roosevelt Road, Little Rock, AR 72204. It opened in 1994. The jail holds more than 1,200 detainees on a typical day. It is the only long-term detention facility in Pulaski County. Twelve law enforcement agencies and thirty-three state, local, and federal courts feed work into the facility. That scale makes it the busiest booking site in Arkansas.

The detention page at pcso.org/detention lists the intake rules, the visitation schedule, and the inmate services. A snapshot of that page is shown below. The site holds the forms and steps you need when a family member is booked at the jail.

The facility uses the "Direct Supervision" style of inmate management. That means deputies work the pods in person rather than watch from a tower. Aramark Correctional Food Service serves about 3,000 meals per day. TurnKey Medical runs the clinic, the mental health team, the pharmacy, and the dental service. The Intake Section books arrestees in line with the Arkansas Jail Standards set by the Department of Public Safety.

Visitation is heavy here. The clerks book more than 2,000 visits per month. The Court Liaison Office coordinates with over 30 district, circuit, and federal courts that use the jail. That volume is why the Zuercher roster is the main tool for Pulaski County jail mugshots lookups rather than a simple static page.

Where to Search Pulaski County Jail Mugshots Online

The main online roster for Pulaski County jail mugshots is the Zuercher Portal. You can search by last name, first name, or booking number. Each result shows the booking photo, the date of the arrest, the charges, the bond type, and the court date when known.

The Zuercher platform is a full jail management system used by many sheriffs across the state. Pulaski County's version lives at pulaski-so-ar.zuercherportal.com. The home page is shown below. The search box sits at the top. Results load in seconds.

A second roster lives at pulaskijail.com/inmate-roster-2. It covers the same data as the Zuercher portal and is useful as a backup when the main site is down. The page shows mugshots, race, date of birth, sex, arrest date, and charges. A view of the pulaskijail.com landing page is below.

Tips for a good search on the Zuercher portal:

• Use the last name by itself first to cast a wider net
• Add the first initial or first name if the list is too long
• Try an alias if a full name search draws a blank
• Search by booking number for the fastest hit
• Clear the filters before each new name

Booking, Bond, and Release in Pulaski County

When the Little Rock Police or any of the other twelve agencies brings a person in, the intake officer runs the fingerprints, takes the mugshot, and logs the charges. The bond is set by a judge on duty, often through a 24-hour bond court. Cash bonds can be posted at the jail cashier. Surety bonds run through a licensed bail bond agent.

Release happens one of three ways. The person posts bond and walks out. The person is released on their own recognizance by order of the judge. Or the person is sent to the Arkansas Department of Correction after a plea or verdict. The mugshot stays in the county file in all three cases. A second mugshot is taken at state intake when the person is sent to prison, which is why the ADC inmate search can show a different photo than the county file.

Release data is posted on the roster within a short window after the person leaves the jail. The Zuercher portal drops the record when the release is final. If you miss the window, check the VINELink feed or call the jail booking desk.

FOIA Requests for Pulaski County Jail Mugshots

When a photo or report is not online, file a FOIA request with the sheriff. Pulaski County has a dedicated FOIA portal at pulaskicountysheriff.nextrequest.com. The portal lets you submit the request, track the status, and get the file online.

Under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-101), the sheriff has three business days to reply. Most Pulaski County jail mugshots are public under FOIA. Exemptions cover open cases, juvenile records, and records that would put a victim or witness at risk. The cost of a copy is capped at 25 cents per page. Digital files sent by email are usually free.

A clean FOIA request to Pulaski County includes:

• Full legal name and date of birth of the person
• Date or date range of the booking
• Agency that made the arrest, if known
• The specific records sought, such as mugshot, booking log, or arrest report
• Your preferred delivery method (email, mail, or pickup)

If the sheriff denies the request, you have 30 days to appeal to the Arkansas Attorney General. The AG's FOIA hotline is (501) 682-2007. The AG has 30 business days to rule. A ruling in your favor forces the sheriff to hand over the record within 10 business days.

Court Records Linked to Pulaski County Arrests

Pulaski County handles its court work in the 6th Judicial Circuit. The Sixth Judicial Circuit Clerk is the filing office for circuit court cases.
