Search Santa Rosa Booking Records

Santa Rosa 24 hour booking records give you a way to look up recent arrests in the largest city in Sonoma County. The Santa Rosa Police Department keeps a public arrest log that covers the past 30 days. You can search this log online at no cost. Sonoma County also runs its own jail booking search for people held at the county detention facility. Between these two tools, you can find booking data for most arrests that happen in Santa Rosa. The records include names, charges, dates, and arrest details for people booked through the Santa Rosa system.

Santa Rosa Arrests and Sonoma County

Santa Rosa sits in Sonoma County and is the county seat. When police arrest someone in Santa Rosa, the booking process goes through the Sonoma County jail system. The Sonoma County Sheriff runs the main detention facility where most people end up after an arrest. This means that the county inmate search is often the best place to check for current custody status on someone arrested in Santa Rosa.

The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office has a public inmate search tool at inmatesearch.sonomasheriff.org. Type in a name and it shows who is currently in custody. The results tell you the booking date, charges, and bail amount. If the person has been released, they may not show up in this search. For that reason, the Santa Rosa Police arrest log is a good backup since it holds data for a longer period.

State law under Government Code Section 7923.610 says that arrest data must be shared with the public. This covers the person's name, charges, time of arrest, bail, and physical description. Both the Santa Rosa Police and the Sonoma County Sheriff follow this rule.

Santa Rosa Police Arrest Log

The Santa Rosa Police Department publishes a rolling 30-day arrest log. You can view it on the city's open data portal at data-santarosa.opendata.arcgis.com. This log shows every arrest made by Santa Rosa officers over the past month. It is one of the more detailed city-level arrest logs in California.

The screenshot above shows the Santa Rosa Police arrest log portal where you can search and filter recent arrest records.

Each entry in the Santa Rosa arrest log lists the date and time, location of arrest, charges, and the name of the person taken into custody. The 30-day window gives you far more data than a standard 24 hour booking log. You can filter and sort the results to find what you need. If you are looking for a specific arrest, try searching by name or date. The data is updated on a regular basis and reflects arrests made by the Santa Rosa Police Department only. Arrests by the Sonoma County Sheriff or other agencies in the area would show up in the county system instead.

Santa Rosa Booking Records Access

Getting booking records in Santa Rosa is straightforward. Start with the online tools. Check the city arrest log for Santa Rosa Police arrests. Then check the Sonoma County inmate search for current jail status. These are free and work any time of day.

For older records or copies you can take with you, contact the Santa Rosa Police records unit at (707) 543-3550. You may need to file a California Public Records Act request for records that are not on the website. The California DOJ public records page explains how CPRA requests work. Agencies have 10 days to respond. Copies usually cost about 10 cents per page, though the Santa Rosa Police may have its own fee for certain types of booking records. Walk-in requests at the police department are also an option if you prefer to handle things in person rather than online.

Note: Sealed arrest records under Penal Code Section 851.91 will not appear in any public search tool for Santa Rosa or Sonoma County.
