Webster Arrest Records: Who Makes Arrests, Where People Are Booked and How to Get the Report

Who Makes Arrests in Webster

The FBI lists Webster with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Webster Town and Village Police Department. It reported 364 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 Monroe County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 2,398 arrests for 2025.

The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Monroe County: the Brockport State University of New York Police (campus police).

How Many Arrests Webster Reports

The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts 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.

• Webster: 364 for 2025, 377 for 2024, 417 for 2023, 380 for 2022, 350 for 2021 and 270 for 2020.

Webster's 364 arrests in 2025 were down 3.4 percent from 377 in 2024.

Through July 2026, Webster reported 236 arrests, against 226 in the same months of 2025.

Across Monroe County, the 11 agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 11,822 arrests between them.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Webster Are Held

The county jail is where a person arrested in Webster 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.

So far in 2026 the jail has held about 750 people on an average day, down from about 980 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 1,614 beds, and it ran at 46 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, whose inmate locator is at nysdoccslookup.doccs.ny.gov.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Webster

Whether someone was arrested in Webster, and what came of it, shows up in two places: 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 monroecounty.gov/da, phone 585 753-4500).

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 Webster

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.
