Revere Overview
Revere Police Department Records
The Revere Police Department is the main law enforcement agency for the city. Their station is at 400 Revere Beach Parkway, Revere, MA 02151. Phone: (781) 284-1212. The department website is at reverema.gov/departments/police. Records requests can be made by phone or in person at the station.
State law under MGL c. 41, § 98F requires all Massachusetts police departments to keep daily logs and make them available to the public. Revere Police logs show arrest dates, names, and charges. These logs are often the fastest way to look up recent arrest activity in the city.
When you file a public records request, the law under MGL c. 66, § 10 gives the department 10 business days to respond. Copies cost $0.05 per page. Staff time for document searches is free for the first two hours. After that, the rate is $25 per hour. Some records may be withheld if they are part of an active investigation or fall under a legal exemption.
Suffolk County Court Records
Criminal cases from Revere go through Revere District Court or Suffolk County Superior Court. The Superior Court is at 3 Pemberton Square, Boston, MA. Phone: (617) 788-8160. District Court takes misdemeanors and lower-level felony charges. Superior Court handles serious felonies and jury trials.
Case dockets are searchable online through the Massachusetts Trial Court website. Free lookups are available for basic docket details. Certified copies must be ordered from the court clerk and require a fee. Not every record is accessible. Juvenile cases are sealed by law. Domestic violence records are restricted under MGL c. 41, § 97D and are not available through public record requests.
CORI: Criminal Offender Record Information
Massachusetts keeps a statewide criminal history system called CORI. The rules are set by MGL c. 6, § 167. CORI covers arrests, charges, and case outcomes for people 18 and older. The database is not open to the general public. Access depends on the purpose and the relationship between the person asking and the subject of the record.
Individuals can pull their own CORI at no cost. Use the iCORI system on mass.gov. Create an account, verify your identity, and request your report. Results usually come back quickly and show all arrests, charges, and outcomes on your record.
Certain records age off CORI over time. Under MGL c. 6, § 172, misdemeanor convictions drop off after five years. Felony convictions drop off after ten. Non-conviction records, such as dismissed charges or not-guilty verdicts, come off immediately. Non-conviction records also seal automatically under MGL c. 276, § 100C. More detail is at mass.gov CORI guidance.
Suffolk County Sheriff's Office
The Suffolk County Sheriff's Office is at 20 Bradston Street, Boston, MA 02118. Phone: (617) 635-1000. The sheriff operates two facilities in Boston: Nashua Street Jail and South Bay House of Correction. People held after arrest in Revere may be taken to one of these facilities.
The sheriff's office handles county jail operations and related transport. They do not keep local police arrest records. To find someone in state prison rather than a county facility, use the Massachusetts Department of Correction inmate database at mass.gov/doc. That database covers DOC-run state prison facilities only.
District Attorney: Suffolk County
The Suffolk County District Attorney's office handles prosecution for all criminal cases in the county, including those from Revere. The office is at 1 Bulfinch Place, Boston, MA. Phone: (617) 619-4000. Website: suffolkdistrictattorney.com.
The DA's office does not provide individual arrest records to the public. Once a case is filed in court, it becomes part of the public court record and can be accessed through the clerk's office. High-profile cases may also be covered in press releases on the DA's website.
Sex Offender Registry
The Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board operates a public database at mass.gov/sorb. Search by name or zip code to see Level 2 and Level 3 registered sex offenders. Level 1 offenders do not appear in public search results. The registry is a separate system from arrest records but is frequently used alongside them for background checks.
Sealing and Expungement in Revere
People in Revere who want to limit access to their arrest records have options under Massachusetts law. Sealing under MGL c. 276, § 100A requires a court petition. The wait is three years for misdemeanor convictions and seven years for felony convictions. Time is counted from the date of conviction or the date of release from custody, whichever is later.
Expungement under MGL c. 276, §§ 100E-100U goes further by removing a record entirely rather than just hiding it. Not every case qualifies. Violent crimes, certain sex offenses, and other serious matters are generally excluded. Each request requires a judge's approval before anything is cleared from the record.
Additional Resources
Note: Arrest records show that a charge was filed. They do not prove guilt. Every person is presumed innocent unless convicted in court.
Massachusetts State Police maintain public records for incidents they handle. Requests can be submitted at mass.gov/state-police-public-records. State Police sometimes work alongside Revere Police on larger cases.
