Need certified arrest report and PD won't give it to me!!!

I just graduated LVN school and I took the NCLEX. I received a notice from the board stating that they need me to provide a certified copy of my arrest record within 30 days. I called the PD from my arrest (5 years ago) and they absolutely will not give me a copy of it unless I have a judge subpoena it. I called my local court and they said they don't do that and told me I should seek legal advice. HELP!!! How do I do this? I'm so scared and frustrated!!!

I'd call my county court house and ask process to obtain certified copy of arrest record to be sent to BON, a state agency. If can't get answer, then call district attorneys office. Another obption is to call local bar association.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up calling the BVNPT and speaking to the man who sent me the letter. I told him the situation and he said he would call the PD and order the arrest record himself and it shouldn't be a problem. Thank God! I was thinking I'd need to hire a nurse attorney. Whew!

Now why didn't I think of that simple solution! Glad your mind is now at ease.

Best wishes on moving forward with your career.
