Find a Delaware Arrest and Verify the Criminal Case Outcome
Delaware arrest information is divided among local police departments, Delaware State Police, the Department of Correction and several courts. A missing result in one system does not establish that no arrest or case exists.
Use this guide to identify the correct custodian, verify custody, request reports, find the court disposition, obtain a fingerprint-based history and complete the correct correction or expungement process.

Arrest is not conviction. A police charge records an allegation. The Delaware Department of Justice can decline, amend or replace it, and a court can dismiss the case or find the defendant not guilty.
Local arrest
Start with the police agency that made it.
Current custody
Delaware DOC directs users to VINELink.
Personal SBI history
Fingerprint-based Delaware report: $72.
State plus FBI
$85 when the combined check is legally mandated.
Superior Court expungement
Published petition fee: $75.
Which Delaware agency maintains the information?
LOCAL POLICE
What did officers report?
Incident report, arrest report, complaint number, officer narrative, evidence references and supplements.
Request it from the department that created it.
DELAWARE STATE POLICE
Was DSP the arresting agency?
Troop records, complaints, arrest documentation and releasable investigative material.
Use DSP records or FOIA procedures.
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION
Is the person in custody?
Facility, custody status and notification information through Delaware VINE.
Use for detention and prison custody—not the final judgment.
DELAWARE COURTS
What happened to the charge?
Complaint, information, indictment, capias, hearings, plea, dismissal, judgment and sentence.
Identify the court that handled the case.
STATE BUREAU OF IDENTIFICATION
What appears statewide?
Fingerprint-supported Delaware criminal history for the requesting person or authorized purpose.
Not a free public name search.
Most reliable sequence: Identify the arresting agency, save its complaint or report number, check DOC custody, locate the correct criminal court and obtain the final disposition.
How to search Delaware arrest and criminal records
Identify where the arrest occurred
Determine the city, town, unincorporated area and county rather than searching only the person’s residence.
Identify the arresting agency
Determine whether Delaware State Police, a municipal police department, university police or another agency made the arrest.
Search or contact the arresting department
Look for Arrest Records, Police Records, Public Information, Reports or FOIA.
Record the complaint or report number
This is normally more reliable than a common-name search.
Check current Delaware custody
Search Delaware in VINELink and verify the facility, status and identity.
Open Delaware VINE custody search
Identify the court
Use the charge level, court paperwork, scheduled hearing or agency information.
Request the criminal case record
Ask for the docket, charging document, disposition, judgment or sentence.
Compare the arrest and filed charges
The police allegation may differ from the Attorney General’s filed charge.
Find the outcome for every count
A multi-charge case can contain a dismissal, plea and conviction in the same file.
Use SBI when a statewide personal history is needed
Complete the official fingerprint process rather than relying on an unrestricted commercial search.
Choose New Castle, Kent or Sussex County
New Castle County
Includes Wilmington, Newark, New Castle, Middletown and the northern part of Delaware.
Possible arresting agencies include Wilmington Police, New Castle County Police, Newark Police and Delaware State Police.
Kent County
Includes Dover, Smyrna, Camden, Harrington and central Delaware.
Possible arresting agencies include Dover Police, Smyrna Police, Capitol Police and Delaware State Police.
Sussex County
Includes Georgetown, Seaford, Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Millsboro and southern Delaware.
Possible arresting agencies include municipal departments and Delaware State Police troops serving Sussex County.
Delaware’s counties do not operate independent county jail systems like many other states. Pretrial and sentenced custody is generally handled through the Delaware Department of Correction.
Send the request to the department that created the record
| Record needed | Likely custodian | Information to provide | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delaware State Police arrest report | DSP Records or FOIA coordinator | Name, incident date, troop, location and complaint number. | Requesting it from DOC because the person was detained. |
| Wilmington Police report | Wilmington Police Department | WPD complaint number, date, location and involved name. | Sending the request to Delaware State Police. |
| New Castle County Police report | New Castle County Division of Police | Complaint number, date and incident location. | Confusing county police with the Delaware DOC facility. |
| Dover or other municipal report | The listed municipal police department | Agency report number and complete event details. | Assuming SBI keeps the full officer narrative. |
| Current custody | Delaware Department of Correction | Full name, birth information and offender identifier. | Treating custody status as the court outcome. |
| Filed charge and disposition | The Delaware court that handled the case | Case number, defendant name and disposition date. | Using the police charge as final proof. |
Use VINELink to check current incarceration
Open VINELink
Select Delaware from the participating-state list.
Open the custody and notification system
Search the complete legal name
Add identifying information only when needed to separate similar names.
Confirm the correct person
Compare birth information, custody location, offender number and known arrest timeline.
Record the facility
Facility assignment controls visits, mail, phone procedures and direct contact.
Register for notifications
Available notice methods can include phone, email, text or TTY.
Do not treat a projected release date as final
DOC explains that good-time forfeiture, another sentence level or an outside detainer can alter release.
A person may remain in custody after a displayed release date because another jurisdiction has placed a warrant or detainer.
What Delaware arrest and custody fields mean
| Field | What it identifies | What it does not prove | Best next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complaint or report number | The arresting agency’s event record. | The final court charge. | Use it to request the police report. |
| Arrest date | When law enforcement initiated custody. | When prosecution formally began. | Compare it with the court filing date. |
| Arrest charge | The allegation entered by police. | What the Attorney General prosecuted. | Read the court charging document. |
| Capias | A court order directing that a person be brought before the court. | The capias remains active today. | Confirm the newest court entry. |
| Bail | A release amount or condition ordered in the case. | Posting one amount clears every hold. | Confirm each case and detainer. |
| DOC facility | The person’s listed Delaware correctional location. | The facility will not change. | Recheck before visiting or mailing. |
| Release date | A projected or recorded custody date. | The criminal case was dismissed. | Read the judgment and sentence. |
| Disposition | How a court resolved a charge. | Every count had the same result. | Review each count separately. |
Verify the correct person before relying on a record
Full legal name matches
Middle name, alias or suffix is consistent
Date of birth or age matches
Arrest date matches the known event
Police agency matches the location
Complaint or report number matches
Court case follows the same arrest
DOC offender information is consistent
Minimum standard: Match at least two independent identifiers before sending money, publishing an accusation or treating the record as belonging to a particular person.
No Delaware arrest record found?
The arrest is still being processed
Identification, medical screening and court intake can delay public information.
The wrong police agency was searched
Delaware State Police and municipal departments maintain separate reports.
The name differs
Try maiden names, compound surnames, suffixes, aliases and alternate spellings.
The person was released quickly
A person may leave police or DOC custody before a long-term custody result appears.
The criminal case is in another court
Delaware criminal matters are divided among several courts.
The record is juvenile
Family Court and juvenile records can have significant confidentiality restrictions.
The record was expunged
A valid expungement order restricts or removes public access according to Delaware law.
The case is outside Delaware
Search the state or federal jurisdiction where the arrest actually occurred.
Missing-record call script

Superior Court
Handles felony prosecutions and other criminal matters within statewide jurisdiction.
Family Court

Check every relevant court
Separate matters can exist in Justice of the Peace Court, Court of Common Pleas, Superior Court or Family Court.
Confirm directly before acting
Contact the issuing court, the responsible police agency or defense counsel.
Do not rely on an old third-party listing
Court status can change after service, appearance or judicial review.
Never confront or attempt to detain another person. A similar name, outdated capias or recalled warrant can create a dangerous error.

- Service code: 27RVGT.
- Issued only to the requesting individual.
- Current Delaware-only fee: $72.
- Requires fingerprints and accepted photo identification.

- The requesting agency may provide a required service code.
- Using the wrong service code can require new fingerprinting and payment.
- Follow the purpose-specific registration process.
Determine the purpose of the check
Personal review, licensing and legally mandated employment checks may require different codes.
Obtain the service code
Use 27RVGT only for the personal certified Delaware report.

Save the inaccurate entry
Record the agency, date, complaint number, case number and disputed field.

Choose the correct expungement or pardon path
Mandatory expungement
Some qualifying records must be expunged when the statutory requirements are satisfied.
Discretionary expungement
The court considers the petition and applicable legal requirements before granting relief.
Expungement after pardon
A pardon may be required or helpful for certain convictions before Superior Court expungement.
Juvenile expungement
Family Court uses separate mandatory and discretionary juvenile forms.

Delaware arrest-record questions answered
How do I search Delaware arrest records?
Identify the arresting police agency, check Delaware VINE for custody and contact the court that handled the criminal case.

Yes. Delaware DOC directs users to VINELink for custody information and notifications.
Does CourtConnect contain every criminal case?
No. CourtConnect is primarily presented as a civil case-search service. Criminal access depends on the court that handled the case.
How do I obtain my own Delaware criminal history?

How much is a certified Delaware history?
The current Delaware-only fee is $72. The combined Delaware and FBI fee is $85 when legally mandated.
How do I request a DSP arrest report?
Use Delaware State Police records or FOIA instructions and provide the complaint number, arrest date, location, troop and court case number.
How do I find the final case outcome?
Request the disposition, judgment or sentencing order from the exact Delaware court that handled the prosecution.
Why is a Delaware arrest missing?
The wrong agency may have been searched, processing may be incomplete, the person may have been released or the record may be juvenile or expunged.
Can a Delaware arrest be expunged?
Some records qualify for mandatory or discretionary expungement. Other records may require a pardon before Superior Court relief.
Does an arrest prove guilt?
No. An arrest records an allegation and custody event. Only the criminal court record establishes the final legal outcome.
