Sammamish 72 Hour Booking Lookup

Sammamish 72 Hour Booking records list people arrested by the Sammamish Police Department in the past three days. Sammamish is a King County city, and its police force is staffed through a contract with the King County Sheriff. People booked in Sammamish are taken to the King County Jail in Seattle or to the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. To find a recent arrest, use the King County JILS subject lookup or call Sammamish Police Records at (425) 295-2700. This page covers the steps and tools you need.

Where to Search Sammamish 72 Hour Booking Records

Sammamish does not run its own jail. The Sammamish Police office at 801 228th Avenue SE handles patrol, response, and the first stage of booking. From there, an arrestee is moved to a King County jail facility. Most adults end up at the King County Correctional Facility in downtown Seattle. Some go to the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Both facilities show up on the King County JILS subject lookup at dajd-jms.powerappsportals.us.

JILS is the main public roster for King County. It updates often and lists everyone in custody with a booking date, charges, and bail amount. You can search by last name and first name. The system does not show photos. The lookup is free and needs no login. The King County Sheriff page at kingcounty.gov has more on jail visiting and inmate phone services.

For the full police report on a Sammamish arrest, file a public records request with Sammamish Police at (425) 295-2700.

The Sammamish Police Department posts contact info and a records request page at sammamish.us.

How a Sammamish Arrest Reaches the Roster

An arrest in Sammamish starts with a call or a stop. If the officer makes a custodial arrest, the person is taken to the police office for the first part of booking. The officer logs the name, date of birth, and the listed charges. Then the person is driven to a King County jail. The full booking happens at the jail. That is where the person gets a booking number, prints, and a photo. JILS picks up the new booking soon after.

The 72 hour rule means a person held on a new arrest must see a judge within three days, not counting weekends and holidays. The first court hearing sets bail or releases the person on personal recognizance. Until that hearing, the person stays on the live in-custody list. King County keeps that list current many times a day.

What Appears on a Sammamish Booking Record

A booking record is a short summary of the arrest. The full police report is a longer document held by the agency. The booking record itself is open to the public under state law.

Standard fields you can expect:

• Full legal name and aliases
• Date of birth
• Booking date and time
• Arresting agency
• Charges at booking
• Bail amount
• Court date and court name

The booking record does not list past arrests or past convictions. For that you need a state criminal history check from the Washington State Patrol at wsp.wa.gov/crime/criminal-history.

Note: Booking is not the same as a charge filed in court, and many cases never reach a formal charge.

Sammamish Public Records Requests

Police records are public under RCW 42.56, the Washington Public Records Act. To ask for a Sammamish police report, send a request to the records unit at 801 228th Avenue SE, Sammamish, WA 98075. The agency must give a first response within five business days. That first response can be the report, a fee quote, or a notice that more time is needed. Most reports come back in two to four weeks. Active investigation files may be held back.

Jail booking data is also covered by RCW 70.48.100. This statute lists the basic booking facts that the public can see. Some items, like medical info, are kept back. The Criminal Records Privacy Act in RCW 10.97 also limits how some criminal history can be shared. The MRSC public records guide has more on the rules that apply to local agencies.

Court Lookup for Sammamish Bookings

Most Sammamish cases go to King County District Court at the Issaquah courthouse. Felony cases go to King County Superior Court in Seattle or in Kent. You can search statewide case data through the Washington Courts public site or use the Odyssey Portal. The Find My Court Date tool at dw.courts.wa.gov is a quick way to look up an upcoming hearing by name.

For a person who is now under state supervision, use the Department of Corrections search at doc.wa.gov/information/inmate-search. The DOC also runs a warrant search for people who have skipped supervision.

Other Sammamish Booking Resources

The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs runs the Jail Booking and Reporting System. Read more at waspc.org. WASPC also runs the statewide sex offender info site at waspc.org. For federal court cases that may tie to a local arrest, use PACER.

Fees and copy costs vary by agency. Plain copies of police reports under RCW 42.56 are usually a small per-page charge. Certified copies cost more. JILS, Odyssey, and the Find My Court Date tool are free.

Note: A booking shown on JILS is a snapshot, and the listed charges can change once a prosecutor reviews the case.
