Vineland, New Jersey, in Cumberland County, has about 62,000 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 County Prosecutor files charges, a case in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Cumberland County. 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 Vineland
The FBI lists Vineland with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Vineland Police Department. It reported 1,487 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.
Outside the city, the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 907 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Cumberland County: Prosecutor in Cumberland County (other); the Cumberland County State Police (state police).
How Many Arrests Vineland 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.
- Vineland: 1,487 for 2025, 1,572 for 2024, 1,694 for 2023, 1,384 for 2022, 2,329 for 2020 and 3,765 for 2019; 2021 is missing months.
Vineland's 1,487 arrests in 2025 were down 5.4 percent from 1,572 in 2024.
Through August 2026, Vineland reported 1,178 arrests, against 928 in the same months of 2025.
Across Cumberland County, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 2,941 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Vineland Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Vineland and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2021 the jail held about 290 people, down from about 310 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2018, the last year with a capacity figure, was 655 beds, and it ran at 59 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office at inmates.cumberlandcounty.revize.com/bookings (page title: Inmate Locator | Cumberland_County_ME_Inmates_App), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Vineland
An arrest in Vineland can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the custody page of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Cumberland County, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at njcourts.gov/public/find-a-case).
Statewide, New Jersey Courts Public Access is the Judiciary's free online case search for civil and criminal cases.
New Jersey does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the New Jersey State Police goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.
