Park County Arrest Records Vs. Criminal Records
Most people use the terms "arrest records" and "criminal records" interchangeably. However, they are distinct documents and not synonymous. An arrest record is a legal document that provides information about an arrest. In Park County, arrest records typically include the arrestee's personal information, the incident details (such as the location, nature of charges, arresting agency, and officer), and the arrest outcome. The existence of an arrest record does not necessarily mean someone is guilty of a crime.
However, criminal records, also known as rap sheets or criminal history checks, are comprehensive documents that detail a person's criminal past. In contrast to arrest records, criminal history records contain information related to court proceedings, sentences, and judgments imposed against an individual for committing illegal activities.

Expungement Process
Expunging arrest records in Wyoming usually entails the following steps:
- The petitioner must prepare a petition for Expungement or employ the services of an attorney to do so.
- Next, they must file the petition with the appropriate court, depending on the nature of the offense. Usually, petitions are filed in the same court where the case was initially handled.

- If any of the parties served objects to the expungement, the court will arrange a hearing to determine whether the offense qualifies for expungement.
