Who Makes Arrests in Gloversville

The FBI lists Gloversville with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Gloversville Police Department. It reported 647 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 Fulton County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 410 arrests for 2025.

How Many Arrests Gloversville 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.

• Gloversville: 647 for 2025, 582 for 2024, 579 for 2023 and 421 for 2020; 2021 and 2022 are missing months.

Through May 2026, Gloversville reported 190 arrests, against 291 in the same months of 2025.

Across Fulton County, the four agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,320 arrests between them.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Gloversville Are Held

A person kept in custody after an arrest in Gloversville 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.

So far in 2026 the jail has held about 99 people on an average day, down from about 100 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 167 beds, and it ran at 57 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 Gloversville

An arrest in Gloversville can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: eCourts, the Unified Court System's free online case search (WebCivil, WebCrims and WebFamily), which shows whether charges were filed; the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at fultoncountyny.gov/district-attorneys-office, phone (518) 736-5511).

New York is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Office of Court Administration sells a statewide search of criminal court records by name and date of birth, for $95 a search, through the New York State Office of Court Administration. 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 Gloversville

An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Freedom of Information Law the agency must answer within 5 business days, at least with an acknowledgment and a date for the full answer, and it may charge copying at 25 cents a page.
