Parkland Overview
Parkland Jail Mugshots from Pierce County
Parkland does not have a city jail or its own police force. The Pierce County Sheriff's Department is the only law enforcement body there. Deputies out of the Parkland-Spanaway Substation run patrol and take all calls. The substation sits at 10816 Pacific Avenue South, Tacoma, WA 98444. The phone is 253-798-7530. Every arrest out of a Parkland stop ends up at the Pierce County Jail in downtown Tacoma.
Parkland jail mugshots and booking photos go through the county intake. The Sheriff keeps the records and feeds them into the LINX online tool. To get a copy of a past booking photo, file a public disclosure request with the Pierce County Sheriff's Public Disclosure Unit at 3602 Pacific Avenue S. #100, Tacoma WA 98418. Fax requests to 253-798-7366. Under RCW 42.56, arrest records are open to the public.
Note: Parkland records go through Pierce County, not any city agency, so do not waste time calling a Tacoma PD line.
LINX Pierce County Jail Roster
The Pierce County LINX system is the main tool for looking up Parkland inmates. LINX lets you view the full jail roster or search by an inmate's last name. Results show the booking charges and link to related Superior Court cases. The tool also shows court calendars, case info, and in-custody arraignment lists. LINX covers every law enforcement agency in Pierce County, so Parkland arrests show up the same as arrests in Tacoma, Puyallup, or Lakewood.
A direct LINX jail roster search page lets you type a last name and pull results right away. Most Parkland arrests appear within a few hours of booking. The roster shows book date, charges, bail, and housing location inside the Pierce County Jail.
Users can access Superior Court documents through LINX with a paid subscription. Basic name and case searches are free. Felony cases from Parkland go to Pierce County Superior Court. Misdemeanors go to Pierce County District Court. Both court calendars live in LINX.
Where Parkland Inmates Are Housed
The Pierce County Jail in Tacoma is the main site for all Parkland bookings. It is run by the Sheriff's Corrections Bureau and sits in downtown Tacoma. The jail takes in people from every city and unincorporated area in the county. Intake staff book in each new inmate, take mugshots and fingerprints, and feed the data into LINX. Jail registers are kept under RCW 70.48.100, which lists the info that must be in each record.
Pierce County also runs a neighborhood crime map. The CommunityCrimeMap site pulls crime data for Parkland and all of Pierce County. You can filter by crime type and date to see where arrests happened. The Sheriff's site has a link to the map.
Parkland is close to Spanaway, Lakewood, and Tacoma. Arrests from those areas often share the same jail and the same booking system. The only real difference is which agency made the stop and which court will get the case.
Parkland Arrest Records Request
To get a copy of a Parkland arrest record or booking photo, file with Pierce County. The Sheriff's Public Disclosure Unit handles all requests. Send the form to 3602 Pacific Avenue S. #100, Tacoma WA 98418, or fax to 253-798-7366. Include the name of the person, date of the arrest, and case number if you have it. Staff must respond within five business days with the records, a timeline, a clarification request, or a denial.
Fees run about $0.15 per page for paper copies. Electronic copies may be free or carry a small fee. If your request pulls a lot of records, expect a deposit. The Sheriff may redact victim names, juvenile info, and any data that is shielded by law. Older Parkland arrests may take more time to pull from the archive.
Note: Arrest records for juveniles from Parkland have much tighter rules under state law and may not be open to the public at all.
