How Amador County Booking Works

All arrests in Amador County go through the county jail at 700 Court Street in Jackson. The jail is run by the Amador County Sheriff's Office. When a person gets arrested, they are brought to this facility for booking. Staff take their photo, record personal details, and log the charges. This creates the booking record that appears on the Citizen RIMS portal.

Amador County is a smaller county. The jail handles a modest volume of bookings compared to bigger California counties. That means records tend to show up quickly in the system. Most new bookings appear within a few hours of the arrest. The Amador County jail also processes people arrested on warrants from other jurisdictions, and those bookings show up in the same system. Call the jail at (209) 223-6521 for direct inquiries about someone who was just booked.

Amador County Arrest Record Details

California law spells out what booking information must be made public. Under Government Code Section 7923.610, the Amador County Sheriff must release the arrestee's full name, occupation, physical description, date of birth, time and date of both the arrest and booking, location of arrest, circumstances of the arrest, bail amount, release information, and all charges filed. This is not optional. The law requires it.

Amador County booking records you can access include:

• Full name and physical description of the person
• Date and time of arrest and booking into the Amador County jail
• All charges at time of booking
• Bail amount set for the case
• Current custody status or release information

Booking photos may also be part of the public record under Government Code Section 7923.615. Whether the Amador County portal displays photos depends on how the sheriff's office has configured the Citizen RIMS system. Some counties show booking photos openly. Others require a separate request.

Amador County Public Records Access

Anyone can search Amador County booking records. The California Public Records Act makes this data available to the general public. You do not need to be related to the person or have a legal reason. The Citizen RIMS portal is the fastest way. It costs nothing and works any time of day.

For records not on the website, file a request with the Amador County Sheriff. The California DOJ public records page outlines your rights. Agencies have 10 days to respond, with a possible 14-day extension. Copying fees vary but are generally around 10 cents per page at the state level. The Amador County Sheriff may charge more or less for copies of booking records.

People who were arrested but never convicted can petition to seal their records under Penal Code Section 851.91. Sealed records will not appear in any Amador County booking search. This law, known as the CARE Act, gives people a path to remove arrest records from public view if the case did not lead to a conviction.

Note: The Citizen RIMS portal shows current inmates and recent bookings, not a complete archive of all Amador County arrests.
