Walla Walla County Booking Records Requests

Jail mugshots are subject to Washington State public records law. Under RCW 70.48.100, the jail register is public. That means names, booking dates, charges, and bail info can be released. Booking photos are often treated more cautiously. To get copies, you file a public records request with the right office.

You can also mail a request or stop in at 240 West Alder Street, Suite 101, Walla Walla, WA 99362. For charges from the College Place Police Department, contact that agency direct. Copying fees are set in the sheriff's fee schedule. State law under RCW 42.56.520 gives the agency five business days to respond.

For statewide criminal history, check with the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section. This is a broader check than one county's jail roster. It pulls from all of the state's law enforcement files.

Note: Sheriff staff must respond to your records request within five business days, though the full set of booking records may take longer to produce.
