Using the Pierce County LINX System
Pierce County runs an online inmate lookup called LINX. You can search at linxonline.co.pierce.wa.us. The system shows current inmates, recent bookings, and basic case info. Search by first and last name to start.
LINX is the main public roster for Frederickson cases. Since Sheriff deputies handle the area, every Frederickson booking shows up under Pierce County Sheriff as the arresting agency. The roster lists the booking date, charges, and the holding location. Most data refreshes throughout the day.
Below is a screenshot of the LINX search page so you know what to expect. View the Pierce County LINX system.
The search box accepts partial names if you do not have the full spelling.
Note: The LINX system updates as people are booked and released, so a name on the roster today may not be there tomorrow.
What a Frederickson 72 Hour Booking Record Shows
The standard booking record shows the inmate name, age, sex, booking date and time, charges, and the agency that made the arrest. For Frederickson cases, that agency is the Pierce County Sheriff. Most records also include a booking photo and a case number. The state law that sets these basic fields is RCW 70.48.100, which makes jail records public.
Common fields you may see on a LINX record:
- Full legal name and aliases
- Booking date and case number
- Charges and bond amount
- Holding facility and unit
- Court date if scheduled
The booking log does not show the full police report or the deputy's narrative. For that, you have to file a public records request with the Pierce County Sheriff. Reports may be redacted under RCW 10.97, the state Criminal Records Privacy Act.
Court Records for Frederickson Cases
Cases out of Frederickson go to Pierce County District Court for misdemeanors or Pierce County Superior Court for felonies. Both courts share online tools through the Odyssey Portal and the wider Washington Courts site. To find a hearing by name, use Find My Court Date.
Court files are public under RCW 42.56, the Public Records Act. Sealed records and juvenile cases may be limited.
Public Records Requests in Frederickson
To get the full report on a Frederickson arrest, file a public records request with the Pierce County Sheriff. Call the records office at (253) 798-4800 or use the request form on the county website. The state PRA gives anyone the right to ask for these records, with limits for active cases.
The county must reply within five business days. Larger requests are released in installments with a fee estimate up front. The MRSC public records guide covers your rights under state law and notes when records may be held back under RCW 4.24.550.
For a wider check, the WSP criminal history site pulls from a statewide system and gives a clean record of arrests and convictions. WSP charges a small fee per check. The state inmate locator at DOC inmate search covers people sent to prison after a long sentence. For warrants, try the DOC warrant search.
Note: Pierce County Sheriff data also feeds the JBRS system run by WASPC, which shapes many public roster tools today.
Pierce County Jail Transport and Holding
Frederickson does not have its own holding cell. After an arrest by a Sheriff deputy, the person is moved straight to the Pierce County Jail in Tacoma. The jail is the main holding spot for the whole county, and it keeps the live custody data for every Frederickson case. Transport time depends on where in Frederickson the arrest takes place, but most trips run about 30 minutes by car.
For people held briefly at a Sheriff substation before transport, the booking record still ends up at the county jail. So even if a person waits at a substation for a few hours, the booking log lands in the county system. Always check the LINX roster first if you want a live status. The Sheriff records office is the right call for the deputy report itself.
Bail bond agents work with the county jail. Most bonds are posted in Tacoma, since that is where the person is held. Check with the court first to confirm the amount and case number. Court orders may add a no contact rule or other terms tied to release.
The Sheriff records office can also tell you which court will hear the case. Misdemeanor cases out of Frederickson go to Pierce County District Court. Felony cases go to Pierce County Superior Court. Both courts share the same online tools for hearing lookups.
Federal Court Records
Federal cases run through PACER. If a Frederickson arrest leads to a federal charge, the file moves to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Tacoma or Seattle.
Tips for Searching Frederickson Booking Records
Start with a name and a rough date. The Pierce County LINX system works best when you know how the person spells their first and last name. If you only have a nickname, the search may miss them. Use the full legal name when you can.
If you cannot find a name on LINX, call the Sheriff records office next. Staff can confirm an arrest even when the person is no longer in the jail. They can also point you to the right court for the case file. Keep notes as you go, since you may need to bounce between the jail roster, the records desk, and the court to track a single booking from start to finish.
