Graham 24 Hour Booking Lookup
Graham 24 Hour Booking records cover every new arrest made in the Graham area and booked into the Pierce County Jail. Graham is an unincorporated community in southeast Pierce County, and the Pierce County Sheriff's Department runs law enforcement through its Graham precinct. You can search the Pierce County LINX roster by name to find the booking date, the charges, and the facility holding the person. Use the tools below to look up a name, pull the 24 hour booking list, and reach the right office for a copy of a Graham booking entry.
Graham Booking Overview
Pierce County Sheriff in Graham
The Pierce County Sheriff's Department provides patrol and booking service for the Graham community. The Graham precinct covers southeastern Pierce County, including the Graham CDP and the rural land around it. 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.
Deputies book every new arrest into the Pierce County Jail in Tacoma. Graham is unincorporated, so there is no separate city police. All Graham 24 hour booking entries run through the Pierce County Sheriff and land in the county jail register under RCW 70.48.100.
Records requests tied to a Graham arrest fall under RCW 42.56, the Washington Public Records Act. Use the Pierce County Public Records Request page to file one with the sheriff.
Pierce County LINX Roster
The Pierce County LINX Online Case Information page is the main jail roster tool for any Graham 24 hour booking. LINX ties jail data to court data. The page lets you search by name and see the booking, the charges, the bail amount, and the case file in one place.
LINX is updated as deputies process new bookings at the Pierce County Jail. A Graham arrest should show up within a short window of intake. The search lets you pull a full list of people brought in during the last day.
A second LINX tool, the LINX jail search, is the direct roster page. Both pull from the same county database. Use either one to track a Graham booking.
Note: The Pierce County jail register is public under state law, but booking photos and full inmate files for a Graham arrest stay confidential.
Pierce County Jail Facility
The Pierce County Jail is the primary holding facility for every Graham 24 hour booking. The jail is in downtown Tacoma, about 20 miles from the Graham area. The facility is run by the Pierce County Sheriff's Department and holds arrests from the sheriff, the city police, and a few contract agencies.
The jail page lists the visiting schedule, inmate services, bail procedures, and the information desk phone numbers. For a family member trying to find a Graham arrestee late at night, the jail information desk is the fastest way to confirm a booking and get the holding details.
Pierce County Superior Court handles felony cases from Graham. District court handles most misdemeanors. Both file data in the Odyssey Portal and the Washington Courts case search, the two main state court lookup tools.
What Graham Records Show
A Graham 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 includes:
- Full name and aliases
- Date and time of booking
- Arresting agency
- Charges at intake
- Bail or bond amount
- Holding facility
Full inmate files are not public. Booking photos, medical notes, and classification reports stay confidential. Conviction history is public under RCW 10.97. For anyone sent to a state prison after a Graham case, the DOC Incarcerated Search is the right tool.
Records Requests and State Tools
When the LINX roster does not show the answer, file a public records request with the Pierce County Sheriff. Keep it short. Name the date range. Name the person. 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 explains the process in plain language.
Other useful tools include VINELink for free custody status alerts and the MRSC jail services page for background on how Washington counties run their facilities. The MRSC criminal history page covers what counts as a public arrest record.
Graham 24 Hour Booking After Court
A Graham 24 hour booking is just the first step in a longer case. Once the Pierce County Jail processes the intake in Tacoma, 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 file as soon as the clerk enters it. Type the name, click the case, and you can see hearings, the bail set, and the next filing date.
Graham 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.
Graham Legal Aid and Criminal History
Families searching for a Graham 24 hour booking late at night often need more than a roster. The Northwest Justice Project offers free civil legal help across Pierce County. The CLEAR hotline at 1-888-201-1014 takes weekday calls and can point a person to the right local office. For criminal defense, the Pierce County Department of Assigned Counsel takes appointments after the first court date.
For a verified statewide criminal history check on a name tied to a Graham case, the WSP WATCH program under RCW 10.97 is the official source. WATCH does not show fresh Graham bookings, but it confirms past convictions tied to a name. The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs sets the jail standards that the Pierce County Sheriff follows.
Note: Because Graham is unincorporated, every records request for a Graham 24 hour booking goes to the Pierce County Sheriff, not to a separate city office.
Graham Jail Intake Details
After a Graham arrest, the deputy drives the person about 20 miles to the Pierce County Jail in Tacoma. At intake, staff run a warrant check and log the name, charges, and arrest time. Families can call the booking desk at (253) 798-4590 to check on a Graham 24 hour booking.
Graham Records Retention and Background
The Washington State Archives sets the retention schedules for every Graham 24 hour booking record held by the Pierce County Sheriff. Jail registers under RCW 70.48.100 are kept on a permanent basis since they are public. Inmate files have shorter retention windows after release. The sheriff records team follows the state schedule on what to keep and what to destroy. The MRSC law enforcement records page covers what Pierce County jails can release on booking photos, body camera video, and surveillance recordings.
