CrimeGraphics is a system used by several rural California counties. It connects to the jail's records and displays booking information on a public website. For Lassen County, each entry in the portal shows the person's name, date of birth, booking date, charges, and bail. The data updates as the jail processes new arrests. Because Lassen County is small, the number of bookings on any given day tends to be low compared to big metro areas. But every arrest still gets logged and posted to the public portal.

Arrest Processing in Lassen County

Lassen County sits in northeastern California near the Nevada and Oregon borders. Susanville is the only real town of any size. The county covers a large area of pine forest, high desert, and volcanic terrain around Lassen Peak. Arrests here come from the Lassen County Sheriff, the Susanville Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, and sometimes state or federal agencies working on public lands.

When someone is arrested in Lassen County, they get transported to the county jail at 1415 Sheriff Cady Lane in Susanville. The booking process records their identity, takes a photograph, and logs all charges. Bail is set based on the county schedule. The booking record then appears in the CrimeGraphics system for public viewing. Given the county's large geographic area and low population, most arrests happen in or near Susanville. Arrests further out, like along Highway 395 or near Honey Lake, may take longer to process because of the drive time to the jail. Once the person arrives at the facility, the booking itself moves quickly.

Lassen County Booking Record Info

California law sets out what must be included in public booking records. Government Code Section 7923.610 requires law enforcement to release details like the person's name, physical description, charges, arrest time, and bail amount. The Lassen County Sheriff follows this law and posts the required data on the CrimeGraphics portal.

Lassen County booking records also show the arresting agency. This matters because several agencies work in the area. You might see a booking from the Susanville Police, the CHP, or the Lassen County Sheriff. Federal agencies like the Forest Service law enforcement also operate in Lassen County due to the vast amount of national forest land. All of these arrests funnel through the county jail and appear in the same booking log. The record ties the arrest to a specific agency, date, and set of charges, giving you a clear picture of what happened.

Under Government Code Section 7923.600, some investigative details may be withheld even though the basic booking facts are public. This means you will see the charges and arrest info but not the full investigative file behind a Lassen County booking.

Lassen County Public Records

Booking records are public. That is the law. The California Public Records Act applies to all agencies in the state, including the Lassen County Sheriff.

For older records, submit a request to the Sheriff's Office at 1415 Sheriff Cady Ln, Susanville, CA 96130, or call (530) 251-5245.

The state gives agencies 10 days to respond to a public records request. You can learn more about this process on the California DOJ public records page. Copy fees run about 10 cents per page. Lassen County may have its own fee schedule for larger requests. If someone's arrest record has been sealed under Penal Code Section 851.91, it will not appear in the booking search or in any records provided by the Sheriff's Office.

Note: The CrimeGraphics portal shows recent bookings only and does not serve as a full historical archive of Lassen County arrests.
