Kitsap County Jail Records

Anyone booked by Bremerton Police crosses the Port Washington Narrows to the Kitsap County Jail at 614 Division Street in Port Orchard. The jail is the main place to find a live Bremerton Booking Report. Call 360-337-7108 for jail desk help.

Go to the Kitsap County In Custody page for the current jail roster. The Sheriff also posts a Booked in Last 72 Hours list with fresh intake data. Fields include last name, first name, middle name, book number, and booked date.

Under RCW 70.48.100, every Washington jail must keep a public booking register. The register lists name, charge, and book time. Other parts of the jail file stay closed. That statute is why the Kitsap County Jail can post daily Bremerton Booking Reports online.

For a full Sheriff records request, the Kitsap County GovQA portal takes online submissions. The Sheriff charges $0.15 per page for paper and $0.10 per page for scans.

Bremerton Booking Reports and State Law

Washington state law sets tight rules on what a jail or police agency can release from a booking file. The open booking register is public under state law, but the full jail file is closed. That split matters when you ask for a Bremerton Booking Report. The log shows name, charge, and book date. The deeper file stays with the agency that holds it.

Cleared cases often come out faster than open ones. Open cases may need redaction to shield witness names and sealed fields. Ask records staff where your case sits before you file. Knowing the status up front saves days of back and forth.

How Bremerton Booking Reports Work

A booking begins when a person is taken into custody. The intake desk logs name, date of birth, charges, and the arresting agency. That data feeds the Kitsap County jail register and the BPD case file at the same time. After release, parts of the file move to the archive. The Bremerton Police case report stays with BPD.

Charges shown on a Bremerton Booking Report may change once the case hits the Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney. The court file is the source for the final outcome. Under Chapter 10.97 RCW, the Criminal Records Privacy Act, conviction data stays open while non-conviction data has tight release rules.

What to Send With a Bremerton Request

Records staff work faster when you bring the right facts up front. Keep the scope tight to hold fees down.

• Full name of the person booked
• Date of arrest or booking
• Case number if you have it
• Location of the arrest in Bremerton
• Type of record you want

Type the request in plain words. Say what you want and the time frame. The city clerk can help if you are not sure what to name.

Records Outside Bremerton Police

Not every Bremerton Booking Report sits with BPD. The Kitsap County Sheriff works the land outside city limits, and the Washington State Patrol covers SR-3 and SR-304. Arrests on Naval Base Kitsap fall to federal agents. Each group has its own records path.

Use the WATCH system for a name based criminal history check. WATCH costs $11 per name and shows conviction data. For court outcomes, the Kitsap County court directory points to the right clerk.

The Washington Department of Corrections posts the state prison roster at DOC Incarcerated Search.
