Where Walla Walla 72 Hour Booking Records Are Held
The Walla Walla Police Department is at 54 E. Moore Street, Walla Walla, WA 99362. The main and records line is (509) 527-1960. The city does not run its own long term jail. After an arrest, officers take adults to the Walla Walla County Jail at 300 W. Main Street, Walla Walla, WA 99362. The county jail line is (509) 524-2780. Together, the city police records desk and the county jail hold the full picture of a 72 hour booking event.
The county jail keeps the live custody list. The city police hold the incident report, body cam files, and the arresting officer notes. Both sides are open to the public under the Public Records Act, RCW 42.56, with some narrow holdbacks.
Court files for Walla Walla cases run through the Walla Walla Municipal Court at 15 N. 3rd Avenue, the county district court, or the county Superior Court. For statewide case search, use dw.courts.wa.gov.
Walla Walla County Resources
The Walla Walla County website is the gateway to sheriff, jail, and court info for the city. Visit the official Walla Walla County site for division contacts and forms.
From the county page, you can drill into the sheriff section, the jail page, and the court calendar. Most live booking data sits on the sheriff side.
If a name does not show on the live list, the person may have been released, moved, or held under a sealed file. Call the jail line for a quick status check.
How the Walla Walla Jail Roster Works
The county jail in Walla Walla is a small regional facility. It serves the city, the rest of the county, and a few outlying areas. Names move on and off the live list as new bookings come in and as people get released or moved. The 72 hour rule applies here just like the rest of the state. A judge must hold a probable cause hearing within three days of arrest, weekends and holidays not counted.
To check a name, call the jail at (509) 524-2780 or use the online roster on the sheriff site. The list shows the basic facts the public can see at the time of intake. Bond, charges, and the next court date are the items most people want.
Some city cases skip the county jail and go straight to municipal court the next day. Low level traffic and ordinance cases often work that way. The Walla Walla Municipal Court at (509) 527-1960 can confirm a court date.
Note: The Walla Walla County Jail is small, so phone calls to the jail line are often the fastest way to confirm if a person is still in custody.
Filing a Records Request in Walla Walla
To get a copy of an arrest report, a 911 log, or a full incident file, send a public records request to the Walla Walla Police records desk at (509) 527-1960. You can walk in, mail, or email a request. Be specific. Give the name, the date, and the case number if you have one. The city must reply in five business days.
Standard fees for paper copies run about $0.15 per page. Audio and digital files cost the price of the media. Big requests may take more time. The records staff will give you a cost estimate and a pickup date in the reply.
Some items are held back from public view. The Criminal Records Privacy Act, RCW 10.97, limits the release of older or non conviction data. Active investigation files can also be held back. The jail records statute, RCW 70.48.100, sets the rules for what jails must release about people in custody.
What a 72 Hour Booking Record Shows
A typical Walla Walla booking entry is short. The data is built at intake and stays on the live list for the length of the hold.
- Full name and date of birth
- Booking date and time
- Arresting agency
- Charges at booking
- Bond amount
- Next court date
The full police file held by the city is much deeper. It can include witness names, body cam notes, and lab work. Those items come out only on a written records request, and only if the law allows release.
