Siskiyou County Arrest and Booking Process

Siskiyou County is a large rural area. It covers over 6,300 square miles of mountains, forests, and small towns. When someone gets arrested by the Siskiyou County Sheriff or by a local police department in a city like Yreka, Weed, or Mount Shasta, they are brought to the county jail for booking. The jail is run by the Sheriff's Office and serves as the main detention facility for the whole county. Because Siskiyou County is so spread out, it can take some time for an arrested person to arrive at the jail after the initial arrest. Once they arrive, deputies take their photo, log their personal details, and enter the charges into the booking system. That record then shows up on the public portal.

Most arrests in Siskiyou County come from traffic stops, warrant enforcement, drug cases, and domestic calls. The county sits along Interstate 5, which brings some transient crime through the area. All of these arrests end up as booking records in the same system. The Siskiyou County booking log is the single place to check for all recent jail intake across the county.
