Spokane Valley Overview
Spokane Valley Jail Mugshots Overview
The Spokane Valley Police Department is not a stand-alone agency. It is a contract police force run by the Spokane County Sheriff's Office. Deputies are assigned to Spokane Valley and report to a Spokane Valley police chief. The office is at 12710 E Sprague Avenue, Spokane Valley, WA 99216. The main phone is 509-720-5000. All arrests made by Spokane Valley Police are booked into the Spokane County Jail or the Geiger Corrections Center.
The county jail is at 1100 W. Mallon Ave, Spokane, WA 99260. The jail phone is 509-477-2278. Geiger Corrections Center is at 3507 S. Spotted Road, Spokane, WA 99224, phone 509-477-3259. Both facilities share the same inmate roster. That means a Spokane Valley arrestee will show up in the same list as a city of Spokane arrestee, with no split between the two.
The Spokane County Inmate Roster is the main public tool for a Spokane Valley jail mugshots search.
It updates through the day, so recent Spokane Valley bookings show up fast.
The roster displays the booking number, last name, first name, date of birth, release date, and charges. A Bondable column tells you if the inmate can be released when the listed bond is paid. Booking photos are public under state law, but the roster screen does not show them. To get a mugshot in hand you file a records request with the Spokane County Sheriff's Records Division.
Search Spokane Valley Booking Records
You have a few paths to look up Spokane Valley booking records. The quickest is the county roster, free and online. The next is a call to the jail at 509-477-2278. Staff can confirm custody status. The last is a written records request for the actual booking photo, the incident report, and the probable cause statement. Each path gives you a different slice of the case, so pick based on what you need.
Public records requests go to the Spokane County Sheriff's Records Division. The legal basis for these requests is RCW 42.56, the Public Records Act. The office has to respond within five business days. That response may be the record, a follow-up question, or a time estimate. Fees cover copies and mail. Most basic mugshot requests stay low in cost.
Include these items with a request:
- Full name of the inmate
- Date of birth if known
- Booking date or arrest date
- Case number if you have one
- What records you want
Note: Some inmate register fields stay sealed under RCW 70.48.100, so staff may redact parts of a Spokane Valley file before they release it.
Spokane Valley Arrest Records and Courts
Spokane Valley arrest records feed into two courts. Felonies go to Spokane County Superior Court in Spokane. Misdemeanors and gross misdemeanors go to Spokane County District Court. Both are searchable online. For a name-based case lookup, use the Washington Courts public case search. That tool covers Superior, District, and Municipal courts across Washington.
For a deeper criminal history check, use the Washington State Patrol WATCH service. Name checks run $11. Fingerprint checks run $58. Rules on criminal history are set by RCW 10.97. That chapter sets what stays open and what stays sealed.
Spokane Valley does not have its own municipal court. City ordinance cases are handled under contract through the district court system.
