Leominster, Massachusetts, in Worcester County, has about 44,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the Worcester County Superior Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Leominster
The FBI lists Leominster with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Leominster Police Department. It reported 497 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Worcester County: Clark University, the University of Massachusetts at Medical Center, Worcester, Fitchburg State University, Worcester State University and five more (campus police); the Worcester County Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (state agency); the Worcester County State Police (state police).
How Many Arrests Leominster Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Leominster: 497 for 2025, 555 for 2024, 425 for 2023, 454 for 2022, 496 for 2021 and 630 for 2020.
Leominster's 497 arrests in 2025 were down 10 percent from 555 in 2024.
Through June 2026, Leominster reported 243 arrests, against 243 in the same months of 2025.
Across Worcester County, the 59 agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 13,481 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Leominster Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Leominster is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2025 the jail held about 690 people, down from about 860 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 1,250 beds, and it ran at 54 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Leominster

Massachusetts is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: open access iCORI lets anyone request limited conviction information by name, for $25 a search, through the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Leominster
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. Under the Massachusetts Public Records Law the agency must answer within 10 business days, and it may charge staff time after the first four hours for towns and two for the state, plus copying.
