Police arrest records are NOT public record unless the person was later convicted of a crime. To the best of my knowledge, no such databases exist for public consumption, but law enforcement personnel can generally access them for law enforcement purposes only.

Court records and conviction of a crime IS public record. They can be obtained at the court for a nominal fee, or through various private online databases for a pretty fee.
