Two Rivers, Wisconsin, in Manitowoc County, has about 11,000 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 Manitowoc County Circuit 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 Two Rivers
The FBI lists Two Rivers with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Two Rivers Police Department. It reported 558 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 Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 826 arrests for 2025.
How Many Arrests Two Rivers 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.
- Two Rivers: 558 for 2025, 528 for 2024, 538 for 2023, 504 for 2022, 626 for 2021 and 657 for 2020.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Two Rivers Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Two Rivers 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 140 people, down from about 200 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2025 was 199 beds, and it ran at 71 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
