What is in a Walla Walla Booking Report
A Walla Walla 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 Walla Walla 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.
Walla Walla Booking Records Request Tips
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.
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 Walla Walla
Save the tracking number from the first reply. Use it on every follow up note. If the booking happened at the county jail and not the city, the request may be routed over.
Privacy Rules on Walla Walla Booking Reports
Criminal history rules in Washington shape what a Walla Walla 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.

If a denial seems wrong, ask for review. The agency 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.
