Pierce County Sheriff in Frederickson

The Pierce County Sheriff's Department provides patrol and booking services for the Frederickson community. The sheriff covers all unincorporated parts of Pierce County and many of the smaller towns by contract. The main sheriff office is at 930 Tacoma Avenue South, Tacoma, WA 98402. The non-emergency line is (253) 798-7530. Call 911 for any emergency.

Sheriff deputies book every new arrest into the Pierce County Jail in downtown Tacoma. Because Frederickson is unincorporated, there is no separate city police department. All Frederickson 24 hour booking data flows through the Pierce County Sheriff and lands on the county jail register.

Sheriff records requests fall under RCW 42.56, the Washington Public Records Act. Use the Pierce County Public Records Request page to file one.

Pierce County LINX Jail Roster

The Pierce County LINX Search is the live roster tool for the county jail. LINX stands for Law and Information eXchange. It shows current inmates, recent bookings, and case records tied to the jail. The tool lets you search by name for any Frederickson 24 hour booking that moved through the county.

The LINX search page takes a last name and returns matches tied to the jail roster. The page is the fastest way to see if a person was booked at the county facility in the last day.

A second tool, LINX Online Case Information, ties the jail roster to the court case. It helps when you want to track a Frederickson case from intake to first court date.

Pierce County Jail Facility

The Pierce County Jail sits in downtown Tacoma and is the primary holding facility for every Frederickson 24 hour booking. The jail is run by the Pierce County Sheriff's Department. The Pierce County Jail page hosts the visiting schedule, the jail rules, the bail information, and contact numbers for the information desk.

For a Frederickson arrest, the sheriff takes the person to the jail, completes the intake, and logs the entry in the jail register under RCW 70.48.100. The jail register is the public list of who is held, why, and when they came in.

Pierce County Superior Court handles felony cases from the Frederickson area. District court handles most misdemeanors. Both file data in the Odyssey Portal and the Washington Courts case search.

What Frederickson Records Show

A Frederickson 24 hour booking entry is the line in the Pierce County jail register for a new arrest. Under RCW 70.48.100, the register must list the name, the reason for confinement, the date of admission, and the legal authority for the booking. That short list is the public part of the file.

A typical entry shows:

• Full name and aliases
• Date and time of booking
• Arresting agency
• Charges at intake
• Bail or bond amount
• Holding facility

Booking photos, medical notes, and full inmate files are not public. Conviction history is public under RCW 10.97. The Washington State Patrol WATCH system is the official place for a verified criminal history report.

Records Requests and State Tools

When the live LINX roster does not have the answer, file a public records request with the Pierce County Sheriff. Name the date range, name the person, and ask for the jail register entries that match. The sheriff must send a first reply within five business days. The state Open Government Resource Manual walks through the full process.

Other helpful state tools include the DOC Incarcerated Search for state prison records and VINELink for free custody status alerts. Background guidance on what jails can and cannot release is on the MRSC jail services page and the MRSC criminal history page.

Frederickson 24 Hour Booking After Court

A Frederickson 24 hour booking is the first step in a longer case. Once the Pierce County Jail processes the intake, the file moves to the prosecutor for charging. Misdemeanors land in Pierce County District Court. Felonies head to Pierce County Superior Court, both in downtown Tacoma. The Odyssey Portal shows the new case 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.

Frederickson 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 Pierce County Jail or any state facility on the system.
