Shoreline 72 Hour Booking Database

Shoreline 72 Hour Booking records show people arrested by the Shoreline Police Department in the past three days. Shoreline sits in north King County, just above Seattle. The city contracts with the King County Sheriff for police service. People booked in Shoreline are taken to the King County Correctional Facility in downtown Seattle. To find a recent arrest, use the King County JILS subject lookup or call Shoreline Police Records at (206) 301-7676. This page covers the local rules, the tools, and how to ask for the full report.

Where to Find Shoreline 72 Hour Booking Records

Shoreline Police work out of an office at 18744 Fremont Avenue N. The unit is staffed by King County Sheriff deputies under contract with the city. Officers do not run a long-term jail. They book at the police office and then move people to the King County Correctional Facility in downtown Seattle. The county runs the JILS subject lookup for that facility and for the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. You can reach JILS at dajd-jms.powerappsportals.us.

JILS is the main public roster for King County. It updates many times a day. The system shows the booking date, the listed charges, and the bail amount. It does not show photos. You search by last name, first name, or booking number. The lookup is free and no login is needed. The King County Sheriff page has more on jail visiting and inmate services.

For a copy of the full police report on a Shoreline arrest, file a public records request with Shoreline Police at (206) 301-7676.

The King County Sheriff site is the main page for Shoreline policing and the jail lookup link. See it at kingcounty.gov.

Use that page to reach JILS and to find the right contact for Shoreline contract police service.

How a Shoreline Booking Works

An arrest in Shoreline starts with a stop or a call. If the deputy makes a custodial arrest, the person is taken to the police office for the first part of booking. The deputy logs the name, date of birth, and the listed charges. Then the person is driven to the King County Correctional Facility. 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. The county updates the list many times a day.

Note: A person who bails out before the first hearing still has a case and a future court date.

What Shows on a Shoreline Booking Record

The 72 hour booking record is a short summary. The full police report is a longer file that may take longer to get. Most of the booking record is open under state law.

Common fields:

• Full legal name and aliases
• Date of birth
• Booking date and time
• Arresting agency
• Listed charges
• Bail amount
• Court date and court name

Booking is not the same as a charge. The prosecutor still has to file a formal case. Many cases never reach a formal charge. The record is a snapshot of one day in the system.

Shoreline Public Records Requests

Police records are public under RCW 42.56, the Washington Public Records Act. To ask for a Shoreline police report, send a request to the records unit at the Shoreline Police office at 18744 Fremont Avenue N., Shoreline, WA 98133. The records unit 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. Active investigation files may be held back.

Jail booking data is also covered by RCW 70.48.100. This statute lays out the basic booking facts that the public can see. The Criminal Records Privacy Act in RCW 10.97 limits how some criminal history can be shared. The MRSC public records guide has more on the rules that apply to local agencies.

Shoreline Court and Case Lookup

City code cases from Shoreline go to a contract municipal court. State law cases go to King County District Court or King County Superior Court in Seattle or Kent. You can search statewide case data through the Washington Courts public site or the Odyssey Portal. The Find My Court Date tool at dw.courts.wa.gov is a quick way to look up a hearing by name.

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

Note: Court hearing schedules can shift on holidays so the Find My Court Date tool is the best way to check the latest time.

Other Shoreline Booking Resources

The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs runs the Jail Booking and Reporting System known as JBRS. JBRS pulls in data from many local jails. Read about it at waspc.org. For state criminal history checks, use the WSP WATCH service at wsp.wa.gov/crime/criminal-history. For federal court cases that may tie to a Shoreline 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. Most public roster tools, including JILS, Odyssey, and Find My Court Date, are free.
