Camas Jail Mugshots
Camas jail mugshots come from two main places. Most arrests by Camas Police land inmates in the Clark County Jail in Vancouver, where the public roster lists booking photos, charges, and release dates. A few cases go to the Skamania County Jail under a contract deal. This page shows you how to search Camas inmate booking photos, how to ask for a police report, and where to find each record. You can use the county roster, the Camas Police records desk, or the state court case portal to look up an arrest and pull the mugshot tied to it.
Camas Quick Facts
Where Camas Inmates Are Booked
Camas sits in the south end of Clark County, right on the Columbia River. When the Camas Police Department makes an arrest, the person is almost always taken to the Clark County Jail at 707 West 13th Street in Vancouver. That is where the booking photo is taken and where the inmate record goes live on the county jail roster. The jail intake line is 564-397-2406. Staff log the name, charges, bail, and a new booking photo into the system within a few hours of intake.
Some Camas arrests end up at the Skamania County Jail in Stevenson. Under an interlocal deal, Skamania County contracts with the Camas Municipal Court to house a small number of inmates. That jail sits at 200 Vancouver Avenue, Stevenson, and the phone is 509-427-9490. If you cannot find a Camas inmate on the Clark County roster, check Skamania next.
The Camas Police Department handles the arrest side. Its office is at 2100 NE 3rd Avenue, Camas, WA 98607, and the front desk is 360-834-4151. For police reports tied to a booking, you file a public records request with Camas PD under RCW Chapter 42.56. The law gives you a right to inspect most arrest records.
Note: Camas arrestees charged with a felony will see their case move to Clark County Superior Court, even if booking and the mugshot stay with the Clark County Jail in Vancouver.
Clark County Jail Roster Search
The Clark County Jail inmate information page is the main tool for finding Camas jail mugshots online. The roster updates several times a day as new inmates are booked and as others are released. You can search by name or booking number. Each record shows the inmate photo, booking date, charges, bail amount, and housing location. The roster is free to use and needs no sign-up.
The page above is the live Clark County Jail roster that Camas Police arrests flow into. It is the quickest way to see a booking photo for anyone picked up in Camas.
To find a Camas inmate, type the last name first. If you get no hits, try a partial name or flip the order. Booking numbers start the day of arrest, so a recent Camas arrest should show up by the next shift change. The roster pulls from the main jail management system, so the photo you see is the booking photo on file.
If the person has already been released, the roster may drop them within 24 to 48 hours. In that case, you need to file a records request for the arrest report and the booking photo. The Clark County Sheriff keeps old booking images for several years, but they are not on the public roster once the inmate leaves.
Camas Police Arrest Records
The Camas Police Department website has a records page and a public records request form. Use this when you need the full arrest report, the dash cam video, the body worn camera file, or a printed booking photo for a closed case. Camas PD handles the request under the state Public Records Act and has five business days to answer.
The Camas Police page above lists the records contact and the hours for the front desk. Fees for copies are small and posted on the site.
Camas PD focuses on community policing and crime prevention. The records unit at 2100 NE 3rd Avenue can pull arrest logs going back years. Most simple report copies are free to inspect. If you want a paper copy, you pay a small per-page fee. Bring a photo ID.
Keep in mind that some items inside an arrest file may be held back. Juvenile records, open investigation notes, and some victim info are exempt under state law. But the booking photo, the charges, and the basic arrest narrative are usually open.
Skamania County Jail Option
A smaller share of Camas arrests lands at the Skamania County Sheriff Corrections page. Skamania County Jail has an interlocal deal with Camas Municipal Court, so when Clark County is full or when a sentence is short, a Camas inmate may serve time in Stevenson.
The Skamania Jail does not publish a live public roster the way Clark County does. To check if someone is held there, call 509-427-9490 during business hours. Staff will confirm if a person is in custody and can tell you the charges. For a booking photo or written report, file a records request with the Skamania County Sheriff Office.
Note: Work crew programs run out of Skamania Jail for in-custody and out-of-custody inmates. A Camas arrestee doing work crew time will still show on the Camas Municipal Court case list.
Camas Court Records and Case Search
Arrests are only half the story. Once a Camas arrest turns into a filed charge, the case goes to the Camas Municipal Court for misdemeanors or to Clark County Superior Court for felonies. You can search cases through the Washington Courts case search tool at courts.wa.gov. That free portal lets you pull case numbers, hearing dates, and filings across the state.
The case number ties back to the booking photo in the county roster. If you have the case number from the court search, you can match it with the Clark County Jail record and request the mugshot. Both sides of the record are public under RCW Chapter 10.97, the state Criminal Records Privacy Act, which sets the rules for conviction data and non-conviction data.
The state Public Records Act at RCW 42.56.240 lists the exemptions. Most arrest and booking info is open. Juvenile files and ongoing probes are the main things kept back.
