Graham Booking Overview
Where to Find Graham 72 Hour Booking Records
Graham has no city hall and no city police. The Pierce County Sheriff covers patrol, calls for service, and arrests in the Graham area. Anyone booked after a Graham arrest is taken to the Pierce County Jail in downtown Tacoma. That jail keeps the master 72 hour booking log for the whole county, and Graham bookings are part of that same list. You can call the Sheriff non-emergency line at (253) 798-7530 to ask about a recent arrest. Front desk staff can confirm if a person is in custody and point you to the right system for a record.
Lead-in: For the live county jail roster used by Graham, you can use the Pierce County LINX System which is the public lookup tool the Sheriff runs.
The LINX page lets you search by name and view booking details for everyone held in the Pierce County Jail, which is where Graham arrestees end up.
How the Pierce County Jail Roster Works
The Pierce County Jail uses an online roster called LINX. It is open to the public. You type in a last name and first name to look up an inmate. The roster shows the booking date, charges, bail or bond amount, court date, and a mugshot for most records. New bookings post within a few hours. The roster updates as people are released or moved. If a Graham resident was just arrested, check LINX first.
Lead-in: The full Pierce County website hosts links to the Sheriff, the jail, and records request forms.
From the county home page you can reach the jail roster, the Sheriff records unit, and the public records request portal in a few clicks.
Booking records are public under RCW 70.48.100, the state law that opens jail registers to anyone who asks. You do not need a reason. The Sheriff cannot turn you away for asking about a booking that has already been logged.
Searching Graham Booking Records Online
The fastest way to look for a Graham booking is the LINX roster. It is free. It does not require a login. You can search by name, by booking number, or by date range. The roster covers everyone in the Pierce County Jail right now and most people held in the past several days. For older records, you need to file a public records request with the Sheriff.
If LINX does not show the person you are looking for, try a few other tools. The DOC Incarcerated Search covers state prison inmates. The Odyssey Portal shows court cases tied to a booking, which is useful if you have the name but not the case number. The JBRS system from WASPC pulls bookings from many Washington jails into one feed.
Note: LINX shows current and recent bookings only, so older Graham arrests will need a written records request to the Pierce County Sheriff.
What Appears on a Graham 72 Hour Booking Record
A booking record from the Pierce County Jail lists the basic facts about an arrest. You will see the full name of the person, date of birth, booking date and time, the arresting agency, the charges, and the bail amount. Most records have a mugshot. Some show a court date. The record does not include the police report or witness names.
Per RCW 10.97, the Criminal Records Privacy Act, some details are kept out of public view. Juvenile records, sealed cases, and certain victim data are not part of the public booking log. The Sheriff redacts these items before releasing a copy.
Public Records Requests for Graham Bookings
For older bookings or a full copy of a record, file a public records request with the Pierce County Sheriff. The request goes through the county records portal. You can ask by mail, email, or in person. The state Public Records Act, RCW 42.56, requires the Sheriff to respond within five business days. They may need more time for large requests.
Include as much detail as you can. A name, a date range, and the type of record will help staff find what you need. Fees are low. Most agencies charge a few cents per page for copies and a small fee for digital files. You can read more about the rules at MRSC, which tracks public records law for Washington local agencies.
