Calaveras County Arrest Records

Calaveras County 24 hour booking records can be found through the Sheriff's Office detention facility resources. The county jail in San Andreas handles all local bookings, and the sheriff publishes detention information on the county website. Calaveras County also houses inmates from neighboring Alpine County under a contract arrangement, which adds to the booking volume at the facility. Looking up recent arrests here is straightforward. The Sheriff's Office provides jail contact information and detention details online. You can also call the jail directly for real-time custody status on anyone recently booked in Calaveras County.

Search Calaveras County Booking Records

Calaveras County does not appear to operate a live, searchable inmate database on its website like some larger California counties do. The best way to check on a recent Calaveras County booking is to call the jail directly at (209) 754-6499. Jail staff can tell you if a person is in custody and provide basic booking information over the phone.

You can also visit the facility in person during lobby hours. Staff at the front desk can look up booking records and provide printed copies for a small fee. This is useful when you need documentation of a Calaveras County arrest or booking for legal or personal reasons. Phone and in-person inquiries both work well for this county given its smaller size. The jail handles a manageable volume of bookings, so staff can usually respond to requests without long wait times.

For broader searches, the California DOJ OpenJustice portal tracks arrest statistics at the county level. This is a research tool rather than an individual booking lookup, but it gives context for understanding arrest patterns in Calaveras County over time.

Calaveras County Booking Data

Government Code Section 7923.610 requires the Calaveras County Sheriff to release specific booking details to the public. The law covers the arrestee's full name and occupation, their physical description including date of birth, the time and date of both the arrest and the booking, the arrest location, the factual circumstances, bail amount, how and when the person was released (or where they are being held), and all charges including any warrants from other jurisdictions.

Calaveras County booking records you can request include:

• Full name, date of birth, and physical description
• Time and date of arrest and jail booking
• Location where the Calaveras County arrest occurred
• All charges at time of booking
• Bail amount and custody status
• Arresting agency information

This data must be provided when asked. It is not a matter of discretion for the Calaveras County Sheriff. The law is clear. However, under Government Code Section 7923.600, investigative records tied to ongoing cases can be withheld. Basic booking facts are still public regardless of case status.

Calaveras County Records Requests

Filing a public records request with the Calaveras County Sheriff gives you access to booking data that may not be posted online. The California Public Records Act sets the rules. You can learn more at the California DOJ public records page. The agency has 10 days to decide whether to release the records, and a 14-day extension is allowed in limited cases.

Copy costs are typically around 10 cents per page. Calaveras County may have its own fee schedule, so check with the sheriff's office before submitting a request if cost matters to you. Most routine booking data can be shared informally by phone or at the jail. Formal requests are better for getting copies of documents or for older Calaveras County arrest records that are no longer in the active system.

Under Penal Code Section 851.91, a person who was arrested but not convicted may petition to seal their arrest record. If granted, the record disappears from public access. This affects what you can find when searching for Calaveras County booking data.

Note: Alpine County inmates housed in the Calaveras County jail will have booking records in the Calaveras County system, even though the arrest originated in another county.
