Access Elk Grove 24 Hour Booking

Elk Grove 24 hour booking records track arrests made in one of Sacramento County's fastest-growing cities. The Elk Grove Police Department makes arrests locally, but booking and jail processing go through the Sacramento County Sheriff. You can look up recent Elk Grove booking data through the county's online inmate search at no charge. This guide covers how to find Elk Grove arrest records, what booking information gets released to the public, the role of the county jail system, and how to request records if the online tools do not have what you need.

Elk Grove Bookings in Sacramento County

Elk Grove is part of Sacramento County. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office runs the jail system that handles all bookings, including arrests made by Elk Grove Police. When Elk Grove PD arrests someone, the person gets transported to the Sacramento County Main Jail for intake and processing. The booking record is then added to the county database.

The Sacramento County Sheriff has an online inmate information portal at sacsheriff.com/InmateInformation. This tool lets you look up anyone currently in custody or recently booked into the Sacramento County jail. To search, you need either a booking number, a person file number, or a name plus a date of birth or booking date. The system pulls up matching records from the full county, so Elk Grove bookings are in there alongside arrests from Sacramento city and other areas.

The Sacramento County Main Jail phone number is (916) 874-6752. Staff can help with booking status questions over the phone if the online search is not giving you what you need.

Elk Grove Police Arrest Records

The Elk Grove Police Department keeps its own records of arrests and police reports. The booking data lives in the county system, but the actual arrest report and case file stay with Elk Grove PD. You can request copies of Elk Grove Police records through their records unit. The department has a page for requesting police records online. This is useful if you need the arrest report rather than just the booking data.

Elk Grove PD uses JustFOIA for handling public records requests. You can submit a request through the system and track its progress. The phone number for Elk Grove Police records is (916) 714-5115. They can tell you what records are available and how to get copies. Response times vary, but the California Public Records Act requires an initial response within 10 days.

The Elk Grove Police records request page is shown below.

This portal is where you can submit requests for Elk Grove arrest reports and related police records.

Elk Grove 24 Hour Booking Information

California law decides what booking details get shared with the public. Government Code Section 7923.610 requires law enforcement to release certain arrest facts. This applies to every Elk Grove booking that goes through the Sacramento County jail.

An Elk Grove booking record will typically show:

• Full name and date of birth of the arrested person
• Physical description including height, weight, and eye color
• Date and time of the arrest and booking
• Where the arrest took place in Elk Grove
• All charges at the time of booking
• Bail amount and custody status

The Sacramento County inmate search may also show whether the person is still in jail or has been released. Release information includes how they got out and when. This data updates as changes happen, though there can be some lag between a booking event and when it shows up in the online system.

Note: The county online tool focuses on current and recent bookings, not historical arrest records from Elk Grove.

Elk Grove Public Records Access

Booking records from Elk Grove are public. You do not need to be related to the arrested person or have any special standing. The California Public Records Act gives everyone the right to request government records, including arrest and booking data. The California DOJ explains your rights under the act on their website. Copy fees are typically 10 cents per page at the state level, though Elk Grove PD and the Sacramento County Sheriff may have their own fee schedules.

For records that are no longer in the online system, you can file a written request with either Elk Grove Police or the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office. Some people check both because the police department has the arrest report while the sheriff has the jail booking data. These are two different records from two different agencies, even though they cover the same arrest event in Elk Grove. Getting both gives you the most complete picture of what happened.

Certain records can be sealed. Under Penal Code Section 851.91, a person arrested but not convicted may ask a court to seal their arrest record. Sealed Elk Grove bookings will not appear in any public search.
