The PAPD recently protected an officer who was almost 3 times over the limit and rolled his Explorer SUV on the entrance ramp to 101
He presumable armed or had a firearm in his vehicle at the time.
The officer should have been fired and prosecuted for being drunk in possession of a firearm--
but no-PAPD refused to give his name tried to hush the whole thing up and kept the drunk on the force--unbelievable.
Egregious DUIs more than 2 times the limit-should have their name, address, place of employment and photo published in the local papers and on the local PD websites

Arrest records should be publicly available. You may have to contact each individual police agency, though. I don't know why the media doesn't just print the names.
