Camas 24 Hour Booking Search

Camas 24 Hour Booking records list arrests made by Camas Police and booked into the Clark County Jail in Vancouver. Camas sits on the Columbia River near the Oregon line and does not run its own jail. Every Camas booking ends up on the Clark County current inmate list. This page walks through the police station, the county jail tool, the records request process, and the court case lookup for any fresh Camas booking. Use the search widget below to start.

Camas Police Department

The Camas Police Department page is the starting point for local patrol info, non-emergency dispatch, and records contact details. It also links to the community programs and the chief's office.

The station is at 2100 NE 3rd Avenue, Camas, WA 98607. The non-emergency line is (360) 834-4151. Officers handle the arrest and then drive the person to the Clark County Jail in Vancouver for intake. The department works closely with the Clark County Sheriff's Office on felony cases and regional task forces.

Clark County Jail Roster

The Clark County Jail Current Inmate List is the right first stop for any Camas 24 hour booking. The list shows all current inmates in custody, the booking date, and the charges. Clark County Jail can house more than 650 inmates, and the list updates as new bookings come in and people are released.

A typical entry on the Clark County roster shows:

• Full name and booking date
• Arresting agency (Camas PD)
• Current charges
• Custody status
• Court date when set

The jail register is public under RCW 70.48.100. Booking photos, medical files, and classification notes stay private under the same statute. The Clark County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and handles records requests for county inmate files.

Camas Public Records

The city of Camas follows RCW 42.56, the Washington Public Records Act. Records requests go through the city clerk, and the police department works with the clerk on arrest files. The response window is five business days. Fees are small and match state caps.

Some parts of the file stay private. Victim names, juvenile info, and active investigation notes are not released. The booking date, the charges, and the holding facility are public. For the jail register itself, the city usually refers requests to Clark County, since the register lives at the sheriff's office.

For a statewide criminal history, the WSP WATCH program under RCW 10.97 is the official source. It does not show fresh bookings, but it is the right tool for conviction checks tied to a name.

Camas Court Case Lookup

Most misdemeanors filed by Camas Police go to the Camas Municipal Court. Felony cases go to Clark County Superior Court in Vancouver. Both can be tracked on the Washington Odyssey Portal. Search by name, click the case, and you see hearings, filings, and the current status. The Washington Courts case search is a useful second option.

For anyone sentenced to state prison, the DOC Incarcerated Search shows the current facility and the earliest release date. VINELink sends free custody alerts when status changes.

Clark County and Nearby Links

The parent county page is Clark County. Nearby cities with pages include Vancouver, the largest city in Clark County and the site of the jail. Other nearby county pages include Cowlitz County to the north and Skamania County to the east. For a statewide start, use the main Washington 24 Hour Booking page.

Camas 24 Hour Booking After Intake

A Camas 24 hour booking is just the first step. Once the Clark County Jail processes the intake in Vancouver, the file moves to the prosecutor for charging. Misdemeanors filed by Camas Police land in Camas Municipal Court. Felony cases head to Clark County Superior Court. The Odyssey Portal shows the new case file as soon as the clerk enters it. Type the name, click the case, and you can see the hearings, the bail set, and the next filing date.

Camas cases that end with a state prison sentence move on to the DOC Incarcerated Search. That tool lists the current facility, the DOC number, and the earliest release date. VINELink sends free phone, text, or email alerts when custody status changes at the Clark County Jail or any state facility on the system.

The MRSC jail services page is a useful background read on how Washington counties run their facilities. The AG Open Government Resource Manual walks through the public records process for any Camas 24 hour booking file in plain language.

Camas Legal Aid and Criminal History

Families searching for a Camas 24 hour booking after hours often need more than a roster. The Northwest Justice Project offers free civil legal help across Clark County. The CLEAR hotline at 1-888-201-1014 takes weekday calls and can route a person to the right local office. For criminal defense, the Clark County Public Defender takes appointments after the first court date.

For a verified statewide criminal history, the WSP WATCH program under RCW 10.97 is the official source. WATCH does not show fresh Camas bookings, but it confirms past convictions tied to a name. The MRSC criminal history guide explains the difference between conviction data and nonconviction data, which helps when reading the result.

Camas Jail Intake at Clark County

After a Camas arrest, the officer drives the person about 15 miles west to the Clark County Jail on Franklin Street in Vancouver. At intake, jail staff run a warrant check, take a booking photo, and log the name, charges, and arrest time into the register. Medical staff do a quick health screen. The whole process can take one to three hours on a busy night. Families looking for a Camas 24 hour booking after hours can call the Clark County Jail at (564) 397-2100. Have the full name and a rough arrest time ready. The booking desk runs around the clock, so calls at any hour are fine. Staff will confirm custody status but will not share medical or classification data over the phone.

Camas Booking Retention and State Tools

The Washington State Archives sets the retention schedules for every Camas 24 hour booking record. Jail registers under RCW 70.48.100 are kept on a permanent basis since they are public. Inmate files have shorter windows after release. When you need an old Camas booking record, the Clark County Sheriff records team is the legal custodian. They follow the state schedule on what to keep and what to destroy.

The MRSC law enforcement records page covers what Camas and Clark jails can release on booking photos, body camera video, and surveillance video. The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs sets the jail standards Clark County follows at intake. Both pages help when planning a Camas 24 hour booking records request.
