This page walks you through how to find Pacific County jail mugshots, how to read the arrest report page, and how to request booking records for a specific name or date.
Pacific County Overview
Pacific County Sheriff Arrest Reports
The Pacific County Sheriff Arrest Reports page posts a media arrest summary. Reports are based on info from the Sheriff's Office and are published in line with public disclosure laws. The mailing address is PO Box 27, South Bend, WA 98586. The main phone is 360-875-9395. The page also notes a federal non-discrimination notice and a contact for filing EEOC complaints.
The Pacific County Sheriff's Office runs the Pacific County Jail at 300 Memorial Drive in South Bend. The jail holds pre-trial detainees and sentenced inmates. Inmate info can be confirmed by calling the Sheriff during business hours. Arrest records are public under RCW 42.56, the Public Records Act. Mugshots are typically included in those records.
The Sheriff provides patrol and marine patrol for the coastal communities of Pacific County. Deputies cover Willapa Bay, the Long Beach Peninsula, and the towns along US 101. Marine patrol is key because the county sits on the Pacific coast. Most arrests flow back to the county jail in South Bend.
Note: The arrest reports page is a summary and may not include every booking, so always call the Sheriff at 360-875-9395 to confirm custody status.
Requesting Pacific County Jail Mugshots
To get a full Pacific County jail mugshot or booking file, file a public records request with the Sheriff. Put the name, date of arrest, and any case number you have. Ask for a digital copy. Send the request by mail to PO Box 27 or by email if the office lists one. The office has five business days to respond under state law.
The state register rule, RCW 70.48.100, requires every jail to keep a register open for public inspection. The register lists date of arrival, charge, and date of release. Pacific County follows that rule. That is the legal basis for most booking record disclosures in the county.
When you write your request, include these items:
- Full legal name
- Date of birth
- Approximate arrest date
- Type of record (mugshot, booking sheet, full file)
- Your contact info
Some records may be withheld under RCW 10.97, the Criminal Records Privacy Act. Juvenile bookings, sealed records, and open investigation files are common exemptions. The office must cite the exact reason for any denial. Keep your request narrow to get the fastest reply.
Long Beach Police and City Arrests
The Long Beach Police Department is the main municipal police agency for Long Beach. Officers arrest people inside city limits and book them into the Pacific County Jail. Police reports can be requested from the department under the Public Records Act. Submit requests in writing with the date, location, and names involved.
Other towns in Pacific County include Raymond, Ilwaco, and South Bend itself. Small police departments handle city-limit arrests while the Sheriff covers the rest. All these agencies route bookings to the same county jail in South Bend. That makes the Sheriff the single source for Pacific County jail mugshots tied to any arrest in the county.
Coordination is common. The Long Beach PD works with the Sheriff on regional public safety. Tourist season brings a bump in calls along the peninsula. That can mean more bookings in a short span. If you need a mugshot from a busy weekend, give staff extra time to pull it.
Statewide Criminal History Tools
The Washington State Patrol WATCH system provides conviction criminal history records for all Washington counties, including Pacific County. Name-based online searches cost $11 and give immediate results. Fingerprint-based checks are available for $58. Results include convictions and pending arrests less than one year old. Pacific County law enforcement submits arrest data to the statewide system.
The Washington Courts Public Access portal is another useful tool. You can search Pacific County Superior Court and District Court cases. Docket info, party names, and case numbers help connect a mugshot to a specific charge. Court info is separate from the jail roster but often lines up with a booking record.
Victims can also sign up for VINELink custody alerts. Call 1-877-846-3492 or visit the site. The service is free and covers Pacific County Jail and all state facilities. Alerts come by phone, text, or email. The service is anonymous and runs 24 hours a day. Victims can track transfers and releases without sharing personal info.
Heads Up: The Pacific County Sheriff arrest reports page is built on Wix and does not host a live searchable database, so phone requests remain the fastest route for current jail mugshots.

Tips for a Successful Request
Keep your request clear. Name one person. Give one date or a short date range. Ask for digital copies. Skip broad phrases like "all records." That slows things down. Staff at small rural offices handle many tasks at once. A short, focused request gets faster results every time.
Follow up after a week if you hear nothing. Be polite. The office may be working through a queue. If the records are older than five years, allow extra time for staff to dig through archives. If a denial comes back, read the reason and ask if a different format is open. Sometimes a summary works when the full file does not.
Pacific County jail mugshots are usually free or low cost when sent by email. Paper copies may carry a small per-page fee. Check the current fee sheet with the Sheriff's office before you pay. Appeals go through the office first and then to court if you disagree with a denial. That path is rare for mugshot requests.
