Placer County Booking Records

Placer County 24 hour booking records are searchable through the Sheriff's Office ATIMS inmate search system. Stretching from the Sacramento suburbs near Roseville up into the Lake Tahoe area, Placer County uses the South Placer Jail in Roseville and the Auburn Jail as its main detention sites. The ATIMS system lets you look up who has been recently booked, check custody status, and see what charges a person faces. The search is free and open to the public. You do not need to log in or set up any kind of account. Just go to the site and search by name.

Placer County Booking Search Portal

The Placer County Sheriff provides a public inmate search at placer-inmatesearch.atimsle.com. This runs on the ATIMS platform, which is a jail management system used by several California counties. The search tool shows current inmates held at both Placer County jail facilities. You type in a name and the system returns matching records with booking dates, charges, bail amounts, and housing information.

The ATIMS inmate search for Placer County pulls data from the jail's live management system. This means booking records show up fairly quickly after someone is processed. You can search by first name, last name, or both. The results page shows a list of matching inmates with enough detail to identify the right person. Click on a name to see the full booking record, which includes all charges, the arresting agency, bail for each charge, and the date and time of booking. This is the most complete way to search for 24 hour booking records in Placer County.

How Placer County Handles Bookings

Placer County operates two main jail facilities. The Auburn Jail sits near the county seat and handles intake from the northern and eastern parts of the county. The South Placer Jail in Roseville serves the more populated western part of the county where cities like Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln are located. Both jails feed into the same ATIMS database, so a search on the portal covers bookings from both locations.

Multiple law enforcement agencies operate in Placer County. The Sheriff's Office patrols unincorporated areas and runs the jails. Roseville has its own police department. So do Rocklin, Lincoln, and Auburn. The California Highway Patrol is also active in the county, especially along Interstate 80 between Sacramento and Tahoe. No matter which agency makes the arrest, the booking goes into the Placer County jail system. That is why the ATIMS search is the one tool you need to check all recent bookings in the county. It captures everything from a traffic stop DUI in Roseville to a ski-area incident near Tahoe.

Booking usually takes a few hours from arrest to when the record goes live in the system. High-volume periods like holiday weekends can cause delays.

Placer County Arrest Records Access

California law makes booking information public. Government Code Section 7923.610 requires law enforcement to release arrest details including the person's name, physical description, date and time of arrest, charges, bail, and custody status. Placer County satisfies this rule by publishing booking data on the ATIMS inmate search portal. Anyone can look up this information without stating a reason.

For older records that are no longer in the ATIMS system, file a public records request with the Placer County Sheriff. The California Public Records Act governs this process. The California DOJ public records page explains how CPRA requests work. You have a right to these records. Agencies must respond within 10 days, with a possible 14-day extension. Copy fees are typically 10 cents per page. Contact the Placer County Sheriff's Office at (530) 889-7800 or the Auburn Jail at (530) 745-8500 for help with records requests.

Under Penal Code 851.91, an arrested person who was never convicted may petition to seal their arrest record. A sealed record will not show in the Placer County ATIMS system or any other public database.

Placer County and State Booking Data

The California Department of Justice collects arrest data from Placer County and every other county in the state. You can view Placer County arrest statistics on the OpenJustice data portal. The portal shows arrest totals broken down by offense type, age group, gender, and demographics. Placer County is a growing county with a population over 400,000, so its arrest volume reflects that growth. The western part of the county near Roseville and Rocklin generates most of the booking activity due to population density, while the eastern mountain areas see fewer but often tourism-related arrests.

Local criminal history data reported by Placer County to the state falls under Penal Code 13300. This covers booking numbers, arrest dates, charges, and dispositions. That information serves background checks and law enforcement coordination. It is a different layer from the 24 hour booking log, which focuses on current jail custody. For a full criminal history check instead of a live booking search, go through the California DOJ record review process.

Placer County Jail Contact Info

You can also visit either jail facility in person. The Auburn Jail is near downtown Auburn. The South Placer Jail is in Roseville.
