Find Matamoras Criminal Records

Checking Criminal History in Matamoras

A Matamoras criminal record check works best as a sequence, not one name search. Begin with the agency that made the Matamoras report. Use the police complaint number, Offense Tracking Number, or OTN, and court docket number whenever possible. Those identifiers help connect the police, jail, and court versions of the same Matamoras event, even if the charge list changes later.

1. Confirm that Eastern Pike Regional Police handled the Matamoras incident and ask for its current records or Right-to-Know route.
2. Describe the police record with an incident number, date, time, place, involved party, and requested format.
3. Search Pike Magisterial District and Common Pleas records in the UJS Web Portal by name, complaint number, OTN, or docket.
4. For current custody, call Pike County Correctional Facility or search VINE because Pike has no public county jail roster.
5. Use PATCH only for later statewide criminal-history information, not as a same-day Matamoras arrest feed.

The broader Pike County criminal history overview explains the statewide checks in more depth. At borough level, correct custody and jurisdiction matter most.

Keep the Matamoras source records separate as the search proceeds. An EPRPD report explains the Matamoras police event, a PCCF record documents a confinement episode, and a docket tracks the prosecution. If one source shows no match, confirm spelling and identifiers before treating that absence as the end of the search.

Matamoras Uses Regional Police

Matamoras does not operate a police department named solely for the borough. Matamoras participates with Westfall Township in Eastern Pike Regional Police Department. An official 2025 Matamoras notice for a joint police-budget workshop with Westfall and the Eastern Pike Regional Police Commission confirms that regional structure. That detail controls where a Matamoras police report request goes.

The official EPRPD page shows the agency’s public-facing records context.

A Matamoras report created by EPRPD should be requested from its designated records or open-records officer, not sent by default to the Pike Sheriff. The Sheriff serves courts, warrants, security, and transport functions but is not a warehouse for all Matamoras incident reports.

Matamoras Police Department Records

For the required city-level police channel, “Matamoras police records” means records held by EPRPD. Useful Matamoras locators include the incident or complaint number, event date and time, exact location, and the involved person’s name when needed to identify the file. State whether the Matamoras request seeks an incident report, crash record, call entry, policy, or audio or video item. Narrow requests are easier to process and less likely to capture exempt material.

No official EPRPD arrest blotter, proprietary mobile app, report portal, or published copy fee was confirmed. Ask for a cost estimate before copies are made. Active investigative material, victim or minor identity, medical details, and protected techniques may be redacted. A police report records the agency event. It does not establish the final court result.

When requesting Matamoras video or audio, identify the officer, vehicle, camera, and a narrow time period if known. A broad demand for every item about a Matamoras incident can capture exempt investigative work and slow review. If the agency denies access, read the stated legal basis and appeal instructions before deciding whether a more precise request would reach a public record.

Matamoras Borough and Police Requests

The Matamoras forms page supplies a standard Right-to-Know request for Matamoras-created administrative records. It asks for the request date, contact and address details, a specific description, preferred access or copy format, and signature. That form fits Matamoras council, budget, contract, and other borough business. It does not turn the borough secretary into the custodian of EPRPD investigative files.

The official form listing shows the local request route and also lists an Eastern Pike Regional Police alarm form.

The alarm form registers a protected site and keyholder details. It is not an arrest or criminal-history search. For police material, verify EPRPD’s current designated officer and submit through that agency’s route.

Matamoras Arrests and Bookings

A Matamoras EPRPD arrest may lead to booking at Pike County Correctional Facility in Lords Valley. The jail creates a Matamoras custody file separate from the police report. Pike does not publish a conventional name-searchable county roster, so a recent Matamoras booking requires the official fallback chain: call PCCF at 570-775-5500, use VINE or PA SAVIN, and then check UJS for the preliminary court case.

VINE supports custody searching and notifications, but it is not a court file. A missing Matamoras name match may reflect spelling, release, transfer, or the fact that no covered custody record matches. Try the full legal name and state filter, then call PCCF with date-of-birth or booking details when available. Pennsylvania’s DOC locator excludes county prisoners and should not be used as the sole Pike jail search.

A focused Matamoras custody request can seek releasable booking details when the phone and notification search do not answer the question. Describe the Matamoras booking date, arresting agency, person, and desired field instead of asking for an entire jail file. Medical screening, precise housing-security data, victim information, and protected identifiers are not ordinary public booking fields.

Matamoras Records Reach Lords Valley

The trip from Matamoras to PCCF crosses county geography. The correctional facility is at 175 Pike County Boulevard, Lords Valley, PA 18428, and has 375 beds. It creates the intake time, arresting-agency, charges as presented, bail, holds, custody status, and release data for a confinement episode. Protected health, safety, victim, and security fields may be withheld.

A Matamoras booking establishes custody, not guilt. The arresting agency’s original Matamoras counts may change at the preliminary hearing or when the District Attorney files a criminal information in Common Pleas. A person can leave custody while the case remains open. That is why a VINE result and UJS docket answer different Matamoras questions.

Municipal Court Records in Matamoras

There is no Matamoras municipal criminal court. Pennsylvania routes borough summary citations and the preliminary stages of misdemeanor and felony complaints to an assigned Magisterial District Court in Pike’s 60th Judicial District. A Magisterial District Judge, or MDJ, is a state judicial officer who handles initial proceedings and summary matters. The office is not a borough municipal court.

If a Matamoras charge is held for court, the case moves to Pike County Court of Common Pleas. The Clerk of Courts then keeps the Matamoras criminal pleadings and docket under a CP-52-CR identifier. Public searches run through the UJS Web Portal, not a Matamoras court website.

Search Matamoras Court Records

Choose Magisterial District Courts first for a recent EPRPD complaint. Search by participant name, OTN, or Police Incident/Complaint Number. If the matter was held for court, switch to Court of Common Pleas and use Pike as the county. A Common Pleas number generally follows CP-52-CR-[sequence]-[year]. Recent office entries may not appear at once.

A Matamoras UJS docket sheet lists court events and outcomes, but it usually does not display images of every complaint, motion, exhibit, or sentence order. Those Matamoras filings belong with Pike’s Clerk of Courts at 412 Broad Street, Suite 1, Milford. Court records follow Pennsylvania judicial access policy, not the borough’s ordinary RTKL form.

Read each count on its own line. One Matamoras charge may be withdrawn while another is held for court, dismissed, resolved by plea, or decided at trial. Bail shows release conditions at a point in time and is not a finding of guilt. For an authoritative paper that the portal does not image, ask the Clerk for the named filing and whether a plain or certified copy is needed.

Where Matamoras Records Go

Each custodian keeps a different slice of a Matamoras event. EPRPD creates the incident and arrest report. PCCF creates custody data if it receives the person. The MDJ records preliminary arraignment, bail, and hearing activity. The Clerk of Courts opens a Common Pleas file after a case is held for court. Fingerprint-supported arrest and disposition data later flow to the PSP Central Repository.

Record flow: Eastern Pike Regional Police › Pike Magisterial District Court › Pike County Court of Common Pleas › Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository

PATCH is the statewide name-based repository product. It is not a live Matamoras arrest feed and not a certified copy of an EPRPD report. A same-day custody question belongs with PCCF or VINE, while the final charge result belongs with the court docket.

Matamoras Cross-Border Record Checks

Matamoras sits at the Delaware River beside Port Jervis, New York, and near New Jersey. An event across a bridge does not become a Pennsylvania police or court record merely because the person lives or works in Matamoras. Confirm the exact place and the agency that issued the complaint number before searching Pike systems.

A postal label is also not proof that an incident occurred inside Matamoras Borough or EPRPD territory. Ask the responding agency. If the event occurred in New York or New Jersey, use that state’s police and court channels. For public registry awareness across all three states, the national NSOPW search can supplement Pennsylvania’s registry.

Matamoras Borough Hall Records

Matamoras Borough Hall is at 10 Avenue I, Matamoras, PA 18336. The office is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and can be reached at 570-491-2771. It is the right office for borough administrative records, but it is not Pike’s Clerk of Courts, a jail desk, or an EPRPD investigative-records counter.

The official borough page places local office notices and municipal information in one source.

That division of work prevents a request from stalling at the wrong desk. Borough policy stays with Matamoras; police files stay with EPRPD; court files stay with the judiciary.

Public Access Rules in Matamoras

The Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law creates a five-business-day response framework for agency records, subject to a valid extension and exemptions. Police investigative material, victim and minor details, medical records, and information that threatens personal security may be withheld or redacted. A denial should state the legal ground and explain appeal rights.

Matamoras court dockets use a different path. Pennsylvania’s courts apply their public-access policies and Pa.R.J.A. 509, while PSP criminal-history dissemination follows Chapter 91. Start with the custodian rather than sending the same request to every Matamoras and Pike office.
