Fremont Bookings in Alameda County

Fremont is in Alameda County, which means the Alameda County Sheriff's Office handles jail operations for Fremont arrests. Santa Rita Jail in Dublin is the main detention facility for the county. When Fremont Police arrest someone on a charge that calls for jail time, they transport the person to Santa Rita for booking. The booking creates a record in the county database that is then searchable by the public.

The Alameda County Sheriff runs a public inmate locator at acgov.org/sheriff_app. This is the best tool for finding Fremont bookings. The system lets you check a box to see only bookings from the last 24 hours. You can also search by name to find specific people. Results show everyone currently in custody at Santa Rita Jail plus recent bookings, including Fremont arrests. The search is free and open to everyone.

All the information shown for arrested persons in the system reflects the most recent data known to the Alameda County Sheriff's Office. This covers Fremont arrests as well as arrests from Oakland, Berkeley, and all other cities in the county.

Fremont Police Records Unit

The Fremont Police Department has a records unit that manages arrest reports, incident reports, and other police files. While booking data goes to Alameda County, the arrest report and investigation file stay with Fremont PD. You can reach the Fremont Police records unit at (510) 790-6860.

If you need a copy of an arrest report from a Fremont case, this is the office to call. They handle walk-in requests and phone inquiries. Some records can also be requested in writing. The Fremont Police records unit works during regular business hours. They can tell you what is available and what the process looks like for your specific request. Simple report copies are usually quick. Anything tied to an ongoing case might take more time because of the exemptions allowed under Government Code Section 7923.600.

Note: Fremont Police handles arrest reports while Alameda County handles booking and jail records. You may need to check both.

Fremont Booking Record Details

Under Government Code Section 7923.610, California law requires certain facts about every booking to be made public. A Fremont booking record will include the full name of the person arrested, their occupation, and a physical description with date of birth, height, weight, and eye color. The record shows the date and time of both the arrest and the booking, plus the location in Fremont where the arrest happened.

Charges and bail amounts are listed for each booking entry. If the person is still in custody, the record shows where they are housed within Santa Rita Jail. If released, it shows when and how they got out. The arresting agency is noted, which for Fremont arrests will show Fremont PD. This helps tell apart bookings from different cities across the county. The Alameda County booking data also includes any holds or warrants from other agencies.

Older Fremont booking records rotate out of the online system after a set time. Once they are gone from the website, you would need to file a public records request to get that data from the Alameda County Sheriff's Office or from Fremont Police.

Fremont Public Records and Privacy

Booking records in Fremont are public. Anyone can look them up. You do not need a reason. The California Public Records Act protects your right to access government records, and booking data falls under that umbrella. The California DOJ public records page explains how the process works and what your rights are. Agencies have 10 days to respond to a request with a possible 14-day extension.

There are limits to what stays public. Under Penal Code Section 851.91, someone who was arrested in Fremont but never convicted can petition to have their arrest record sealed. A sealed record will not show up in the Alameda County inmate search. It is gone from all public databases once a judge approves the petition. This is separate from expungement, which handles conviction records rather than arrest records.
