Weymouth Overview
Weymouth Police Booking Records
The Weymouth Police Department handles all local arrests in town. They keep booking reports for each person taken into custody. The records unit is the place to start when you need a copy of a Weymouth booking report. You can reach them by phone, by mail, or in person at the station. Written requests work best since they give the department a clear record of what you asked for.
Every booking report in Weymouth includes the same core data. You get the name of the person arrested, the date and time of the arrest, the location, and the charges filed. Officers also record bail information and court case numbers when they apply. Under M.G.L. c. 41, § 98F, all police departments in Massachusetts must keep a daily log of arrests and incidents. That log is a public record. Anyone can ask to see it at no cost. The daily log gives you the basics, but for the full booking report with all the details, you file a separate request with the Weymouth Police records unit.

When you submit a request for Weymouth booking reports, include the full name of the person, the date of arrest if you know it, and any case numbers you have. The more detail you give, the faster staff can pull the right file. State law gives the department 10 business days to respond. They can ask for 10 more days if the request is large, but they have to tell you in writing.
Note: Weymouth police daily logs are public records and must be provided at no charge under Massachusetts law.
How to Find Weymouth Booking Reports
There are a few paths to find booking reports in Weymouth. The method you pick depends on what you need and how fast you need it. A daily log check is the quickest way to see recent arrests. A formal records request gets you the full booking report. And the state iCORI system gives you a broader criminal history that goes beyond just Weymouth.
For a quick look at recent Weymouth arrests, ask the police department for the daily log. This is free. The log shows dates, times, locations, and charges for each arrest. It does not include mugshots, fingerprints, or full narrative reports. Those are part of the complete booking report. To get those details on a Weymouth arrest, you need to file a public records request. Put your request in writing and send it to the records unit. Include as much identifying information as you can. The department follows M.G.L. c. 66, § 10 for all requests, which means the first four hours of search time cost nothing. Copies run $0.05 per page after that.
The Secretary of State's Public Records Division has guides and forms you can use to make your request. Their site explains your rights under the law and what to do if a request is denied. You can also file your appeal through their office if the Weymouth Police Department turns down your request.
The Department of Criminal Justice Information Services runs the statewide criminal records database. Their DCJIS portal is the central hub for criminal history in Massachusetts, and any arrest in Weymouth that leads to a court case will appear in their system.
Norfolk County Booking Reports for Weymouth
Weymouth is part of Norfolk County. The Norfolk County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail and keeps booking records for people held at the county level.

Norfolk County books people into the county jail in Dedham when they are held on bail or serving short sentences.

County booking records include the same basic data plus jail-specific information like cell assignment, property inventory, and release conditions.

Weymouth District Court Records
Weymouth District Court handles criminal cases that start with arrests in the town. After a booking at the police station, the case moves to the court for arraignment and any further proceedings. Court records show what happened after the arrest: the charges that were formally filed, bail decisions, hearing dates, plea information, and case outcomes. These records fill in gaps that a booking report alone does not cover.
The court is part of the Massachusetts Trial Court system. You can search for Weymouth cases online through the MassCourts electronic case access portal. The site lets you look up cases by name and shows basic case information. For full documents, you go to the courthouse in person or file a written request with the clerk. Court records and booking reports together give you the most complete view of an arrest in Weymouth.
Under M.G.L. c. 276, §§ 100A-100U, some criminal records in Massachusetts can be sealed or expunged. Sealed records will not show up in a standard search. Expungement removes the record from most databases entirely. This applies to cases of mistaken identity, false arrests, and certain offenses that have been decriminalized. If a Weymouth booking report has been sealed, neither the police nor the courts will release it to the public.
Note: Sealed records in Weymouth are not available through public records requests or the iCORI system under state sealing and expungement laws.
Statewide Criminal Records for Weymouth
The iCORI system is the state portal for criminal history checks in Massachusetts. It is run by DCJIS and pulls from every jurisdiction in the state. Any arrest in Weymouth that led to a court case will appear in the iCORI database. This is broader than a single booking report since it covers the full criminal history across all Massachusetts cities and counties.
To use iCORI, you set up an account and verify your identity. A personal CORI check costs $25. You can also run an open access check on someone else for $50. Results show arrests, charges, court dates, and outcomes. The Executive Office of Public Safety and Security oversees the whole system. Processing takes up to 10 business days for standard requests.
Keep in mind that iCORI shows court-level data. It does not include the raw booking report from the Weymouth Police Department. For that, you still need to go to the local department. But if you want to know whether someone has a criminal record that started with a Weymouth arrest, iCORI is the fastest way to check without contacting the police directly. The Reporters Committee open government guide for Massachusetts has more on what records are available and how to access them.
