Mariposa County Daily Booking Report

The Mariposa County Sheriff's Office publishes a 24-hour daily booking report on its website at mariposacounty.gov/2757/Daily-Booking-Report. This page provides the most recent booking information from the Mariposa County jail. The report is updated daily. It lists every person who was booked into the county facility within the past 24 hours. The page states clearly that this contemporaneous booking information is released under Government Code Section 7923.610, which requires law enforcement to disclose arrest data to the public.

Mariposa County is one of the least populated counties in California. The booking volume is much lower than what you would see in a large metro county. On some days the daily report may show only a handful of bookings, or even none at all. Despite the small numbers, the Mariposa County Sheriff follows the same state disclosure rules as every other California county and makes its booking data available for anyone to check online.

Mariposa County Arrest Details

Each entry in the Mariposa County booking report covers the key facts about an arrest. State law spells out what must be shared with the public. The booking record for a Mariposa County arrest includes the person's full name, their physical description, the date and time of arrest, the charges, the bail amount, and whether they are still in custody. This is required by Government Code Section 7923.610. The Mariposa County Sheriff's Office cites this law directly on the daily booking report page.

Because Mariposa County is small and rural, most arrests involve the Sheriff's Office or the California Highway Patrol. The county does not have large city police departments. The town of Mariposa is unincorporated, meaning law enforcement falls to the Sheriff. Yosemite National Park sits partly within Mariposa County, which means the National Park Service handles some incidents inside the park. However, those federal arrests typically go through the federal system and may not appear on the Mariposa County daily booking report. Arrests by state or county officers in the surrounding areas will show up on the county booking log.

The California Public Records Act gives you the right to request records from any state or local agency, including the Mariposa County Sheriff's Office. The California DOJ public records page explains how the process works. Agencies have 10 days to respond. A short extension is allowed in certain situations. Copy fees are generally low. The DOJ charges 10 cents per page, and Mariposa County likely has a similar rate for printed copies of booking records.

Under Penal Code Section 851.91, a person who was arrested but not convicted can petition to seal their arrest record. If a Mariposa County booking record has been sealed by the court, it will not be available through any public channel. This applies to all California counties, not just Mariposa.
