Ms. Linda McGarity Executive Director Arkansas Adult Probation Commission Tower Building Little Rock, AR 72201
Dear Ms. McGarity:
This is in response to your request for an opinion regarding the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which is codified at A.C.A.
This office has previously concluded that the records maintained by a probation office are subject to public inspection and copying to the extent permitted by the FOIA and other applicable laws. Opinion No.
Therefore, it is my opinion that there is no provision in existing law to shield a probation file in its entirety. As noted in Opinion No.
The foregoing opinion, which I hereby approve, was prepared by Assistant Attorney General Elisabeth A. Walker.
