Bryant officers do not run a city jail. Every Bryant arrest is booked into the Saline County Detention Center.

You can contact Records at (501) 943-0943 to get a copy. Reports can be emailed to the requesting party at no cost.
Bryant PD reports are free of charge. That is one of the better deals in the state for police records.
The Bryant PD Divisions page lists every unit, from Office of Professional Standards to the Public Information Office. The lead-in page below is the Records Division screen that explains how to pull incident and crash reports tied to a Bryant arrest.
