Access Redmond 72 Hour Booking
Redmond 72 Hour Booking records track every person arrested by the Redmond Police Department. Redmond has its own city police force at 8701 160th Avenue NE on the east side of King County. After an arrest, officers transport the person to the King County Jail in downtown Seattle. New intakes start the 72 hour clock for an initial court hearing. King County runs the JILS public lookup so anyone can check current jail status. This page covers how to find Redmond bookings, what each record holds, and which county and state tools to use.
Redmond Overview
Redmond Police Department Booking
The Redmond Police Department is at 8701 160th Avenue NE, Redmond, WA 98052. The records and main phone is (425) 556-2500. Redmond Police cover the entire city. The department also runs a public data and crime stats portal that gives some insight into local arrests and incident patterns.
For source on the data portal, see the Redmond Data and Information page.
The data portal links to crime stats, transparency reports, and Redmond Police records request info.
When officers in Redmond make an arrest, they transport the person to the King County Jail in downtown Seattle. Intake there starts the 72 hour booking clock. Fingerprints, mug shot, charges, and personal data go into the King County jail management system. From that point the inmate is on the county roster and any lookup goes through King County.
For source on the city, see the Redmond city website.
The city site links to the Police Department, the data portal, and standard records request forms.
King County JILS Lookup
King County runs the Jail Inmate Lookup System, known as JILS, to make jail data public. JILS is a free online inmate search. You can look up by name and see current custody status, booking date, charges, court status, and bail amount. It is the fastest way to find a Redmond 72 Hour Booking.
To use the lookup, see the King County JILS page.
JILS pulls from the live King County jail database and updates often through the day.
The system only shows current and very recent bookings. Once a person is released and a few days pass, they fall off the live list. For an older Redmond booking record, you have to file a public records request with either Redmond Police or the King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention.
Note: JILS only shows current and very recent inmates, so older Redmond records require a written records request to either Redmond Police or King County.
What a Redmond Booking Record Shows
A Redmond 72 Hour Booking record holds the same fields as any King County intake. Full name. Date of birth. Booking number. Date and time of arrest. Arresting agency, usually Redmond PD. Charges. Bail amount. Court date. Mug shot. Release date if the person is out.
Some fields stay private. Social security numbers, driver license numbers, juvenile records, and victim contact info are kept out. The state Criminal Records Privacy Act, RCW 10.97, sets the rules. The county and Redmond Police both redact protected fields before any public release. The state jail records statute is RCW 70.48.100.
Public Records Requests in Redmond
Redmond Police accept public records requests by phone, email, mail, or in person. The records line is (425) 556-2500. The department says to allow about five business days for a first response. Most requests are handled by email when possible to keep costs down. For the booking sheet from the jail, send your request to King County DAJD records at DAJDRecords@kingcounty.gov, phone (206) 263-9226, address 500 5th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104.
Both agencies follow the state Public Records Act. Standard copy fees are about 15 cents per page. King County also charges $5 for certification when you need a stamped copy. Be specific in your request. Give a name, a date range, and the kind of record you want. For more on records access, see the MRSC public records guide.
If your request is denied or partly denied, you can ask for a review by the agency head. After that you can file a complaint with the state Attorney General or take it to Superior Court. The full appeal path is laid out in the Public Records Act and is open to anyone who files a request.
Court Records and Statewide Lookups
After booking, Redmond cases go to either the Redmond Municipal Court for city violations, the King County District Court for misdemeanors, or the King County Superior Court for felonies. Most case data feeds into the statewide Odyssey Portal. Future hearing dates are at Find My Court Date. The general courts website is courts.wa.gov.
Statewide jail data flows into JBRS, run by WASPC. For the broader association, see WASPC. Criminal history checks are at WSP WATCH. Prison records are at the DOC inmate search. Active warrants are at the DOC warrant search. Federal cases are on PACER. King County Sheriff details are at the King County Sheriff page.
Note: Redmond has a city Municipal Court but the jail is run by King County, so the city PD and the county each hold different parts of any Redmond 72 Hour Booking record.
Tips for Searching Redmond Bookings
Start with JILS for live custody data. Try Odyssey for case status. File records requests for older booking sheets. Use the full legal name and try common spelling variants.
Date of birth helps a lot. So does a middle name or middle initial. King County has a huge jail population, so common names will return many hits. Add as much detail as you can. The Redmond data portal can also show you general crime stats for the city if you are looking for trends rather than a single case.
Why the 72 Hour Window Matters in Redmond
State law sets a hard 72 hour rule. Anyone arrested without a warrant must see a judge within 72 hours. Weekends and holidays do not count toward that window. The judge reviews probable cause, sets bail, and decides if the person stays in jail or goes home pending trial. For Redmond arrests, that first hearing happens at the King County Courthouse in downtown Seattle, often by video link from the jail.
This is the moment when the booking record gets locked into the King County system. By the third day after a Redmond arrest, you should see the person in JILS, the charges in Odyssey, and a court date set. If you do not, the person was likely released without charges. The King County Department of Public Defense picks up new cases at the first hearing. People who need help should not wait. The first 72 hours are the key window.
Knowing the rule helps you read a Redmond 72 Hour Booking record. A short stay with no charges means the case fell apart at probable cause review. A longer stay with bail set points to a more serious charge. The data on the booking sheet is the first solid trail of any new criminal case.
