How to Search Oswego Arrests & the Police Blotter
The Oswego County arrest blotter is public information — but reading it usually means scrolling a static list. Here's how to actually search it by name, charge, agency, or location, for free.
Local arrest records (often called "the blotter") are released by police agencies and are a matter of public record. Port City Radar collects them into one searchable, mapped feed so you can find a specific record, follow activity in your neighborhood, or just stay informed about what's happening in town.
Ways to search
- By name — find arrests involving a specific person.
- By charge — e.g., "DWI", "larceny", "assault".
- By location or street — see activity near an address.
- By agency — Oswego City Police, the Sheriff, State Police, etc.
- By date — filter to this month, this year, or a custom range.
Step by step
- Open the Arrests tab on Port City Radar.
- Type a name, charge, or location into the search box, or use the Felony / Misdemeanor / date filters.
- Click any record to see the agency, charges, location, and narrative.
- Want alerts? Create a free account and add a watch on a name, street, or block to get notified when a new record matches.

Arrest records reflect a point in time and an arrest is not a conviction. Port City Radar is a research tool, not a consumer-reporting agency — records here must not be used for employment, tenant-screening, credit, or insurance decisions. Juvenile and sealed records are handled with safeguards and are not surfaced.
