Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, in Beaver County, has about 9,000 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 Beaver County Court of Common Pleas. 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.

The FBI lists Aliquippa with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Aliquippa Police Department. It reported 319 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 Beaver County: County Detective in Beaver County and the New Brighton School District (other); Pennsylvania State University at Beaver (campus police); the State Park Rangers at Raccoon Creek, the Bureau of Forestry in Beaver County and the Office of Attorney General Region 3 in Beaver County (state agency); the Beaver County State Police (state police).

- Aliquippa: 319 for 2025, 187 for 2024 and 227 for 2020; 2021, 2022 and 2023 are missing months.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Aliquippa Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Aliquippa 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 2023 the jail held about 230 people, down from about 300 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 402 beds, and it ran at 58 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
