What is in a Tumwater Booking Report

A Tumwater Booking Report is the snapshot the jail makes when a person is brought in. It has the basics about the arrest and the person. It does not have the full police file. For that you need the incident report from the Tumwater Police Department.

Most booking reports list the person's name, date of birth, race, sex, and a booking photo. They show the date and time of the booking, the arresting agency, and the listed charges. They note the bail amount if one is set, the next court date, and the jail where the person is held.

Note: Booking charges are not the same as filed charges. The prosecutor reviews the case and may file different counts, or none at all.

Tumwater Booking Records Request Steps

Keep your request short and clear. Name the person, give a date range, and state what you want. The records team works faster when the ask is plain. If you do not know exact dates, give a window like "between April 1 and April 15."

For case work, you need a few details in hand first.

• Full name of the person booked
• Date of arrest or booking
• Case or incident number if you have one
• Location of the arrest in Tumwater

Save the tracking number from the first reply. Use it on every follow up note. The city cannot hand over files that do not exist. If the booking happened at the county jail and not the city, your request may be routed over.

Privacy Rules on Tumwater Booking Reports

Criminal history rules in Washington shape what a Tumwater Booking Report can show. RCW 10.97, the Criminal Records Privacy Act, sets out who can see what. Conviction data is open to the public. Non-conviction data has more limits. Juvenile files, sealed cases, and active case work may be held back.

If a denial seems wrong, ask for review. The city must give a written reason for any record it holds back. You can appeal to the state Attorney General's open government office, or file in superior court.

State Sources That Touch Tumwater Booking Reports

The Washington State Patrol runs a statewide tool called WATCH. It returns conviction data from court files across the state. A WATCH check does not pull the raw Tumwater Booking Report, but it does show if a case led to a conviction. The fee is low and the search runs by name and date of birth. For deeper work, the state court system posts court case summaries online.

The state Department of Corrections also holds records for anyone sent to state prison. If a case that started with a Tumwater booking ended in a prison term, the DOC file will trace it. These state tools sit on top of the county and city files, not in place of them.
