The jail roster tool at LINX Search lets you view the entire roster or look up an inmate by last name. Each entry shows booking charges with links to Superior Court cases.
LINX includes court calendars, case data, and in-custody arraignment lists. You can see who is scheduled for court each day. For deeper Superior Court docs, you need a subscription. The free jail roster is open to all users and does not need a login.
The LINX Online Case Information page has more help. LINX covers every law enforcement agency in Pierce County, including the Sheriff patrol areas like Frederickson. So a Frederickson arrest shows the same way as an arrest from any city in the county.
Court Records for Frederickson Arrests
Felony charges from a Frederickson arrest go to Pierce County Superior Court. Misdemeanors go to Pierce County District Court. Both courts use LINX for case info, so you can track a case from booking through sentencing in one place. The court file includes the charges, the hearing dates, and the final disposition.
You can also use the Washington Courts case search tool for a broader view across the state. The state case search includes Pierce County Superior Court cases and some District Court data. The state Criminal Records Privacy Act at RCW Chapter 10.97 sets how this data stays on file and how it is shared.
The jail register law at RCW 70.48.100 keeps the booking list open to the public. That means the name, charges, booking photo, and time of arrest are all part of a public record for Frederickson inmates.
Frederickson Arrest and Booking Steps
When a Pierce County Sheriff deputy makes an arrest in Frederickson, the suspect is taken to the Pierce County Jail in downtown Tacoma. The drive from the Frederickson area to the jail takes about 30 minutes south on State Route 512 and Interstate 5. At intake, jail staff take the booking photo, record fingerprints, and enter the charges into the system. The booking photo is what appears on the LINX jail roster. Most entries go live within a few hours of the arrest.
Bail follows a standard schedule for common charges. More serious offenses require a judge to set bail at the first court appearance. The Pierce County Jail booking desk at 253-798-4590 can tell you if a person is still in custody and what the bail amount is. If bail is posted, release processing takes several hours. For no-bail holds, the inmate stays until the next hearing date. The jail runs medical and mental health screenings during intake as well.
Because Frederickson has no city police, all arrest reports stay with the Pierce County Sheriff Records Division. There is no separate city records office to contact. This makes the records process simpler in some ways. You go to one agency for the report and one jail roster for the booking photo. The Sheriff Public Disclosure Unit at 3602 Pacific Avenue S. #100 in Tacoma handles all requests for Frederickson incident reports.
Frederickson Crime Data
Crime data for Frederickson is inside the Pierce County Neighborhood Crime Data. The county uses CommunityCrimeMap.com from LexisNexis as its vendor. The map lets you see recent calls for service and arrests in the Frederickson area. Match the date and block with the LINX roster and you often find the booking record tied to the call.
Frederickson does not have a stand-alone police web page because it has no city police. All patrol info comes from the Pierce County Sheriff Office. The Sheriff patrol district for the area includes nearby communities like Graham and Parkland. Deputies stationed at the South Hill precinct respond to most Frederickson calls.
For a Frederickson inmate booking photo, the fastest path is the LINX jail roster. If the person has been released and no longer shows on LINX, file a public records request with the Pierce County Sheriff Public Disclosure Unit. Fees for copies follow the standard state rate.
