Lassen County CrimeGraphics Portal

The Lassen County CrimeGraphics portal is the primary tool for searching booking records in this county. CrimeGraphics is a platform used by several California counties to share public safety data with residents. In Lassen County, the portal covers inmate search, arrest information, and crime mapping. You can look up a person by name to see if they have been booked into the Lassen County jail. The tool is free and open to everyone.

The CrimeGraphics system shows current inmates and recent bookings. Results include the person's name, booking date, charges filed, bail amount, and the agency that made the arrest. In Lassen County, most arrests come from the sheriff's office or the Susanville Police Department. Both agencies book people into the same county jail, so one search covers everything. The portal updates regularly as new bookings happen.

The CrimeGraphics portal for Lassen County looks like the screenshot above. The interface has tabs for different types of data. The inmate tab is where you go for booking records. You can also check the arrests tab for recent arrest logs in the county.

Booking Records Law for Lassen County

California Government Code 7923.610 applies to Lassen County the same as it does to Los Angeles or San Francisco. The size of the county does not change the law. When someone is booked into the Lassen County jail, the sheriff must make that booking data available to the public. The statute lists the required information: full name, date of birth, physical description, arrest time and date, booking time and date, arrest location, bail amount, all charges, and the holding facility.

Lassen County is one of the smaller counties in California by population. About 31,000 people live here. But size does not affect transparency. The booking disclosure law was written to cover every agency in the state. Whether Lassen County books five people a day or fifty, the data is public. The CrimeGraphics portal is how the sheriff makes good on that legal requirement in an efficient way.

Note: Lassen County follows the same 10-day deadline for Public Records Act requests as every other California county.

Lassen County Jail Details

The Lassen County jail is in Susanville. It is the only booking facility in the county. The sheriff's office runs it. Susanville is also home to a federal correctional institution, but that is a federal facility with separate records. Federal inmate data goes through the Federal Bureau of Prisons website, not the Lassen County Sheriff. For county-level 72 hour booking records, you only need to check the Lassen County system.

Lassen County covers a wide area in far northeastern California. It borders Nevada to the east. The county includes national forest land and sparsely populated areas. Most of the population lives in or near Susanville. Because the county is so spread out, some arrests happen far from the jail. Deputies may travel long distances to bring someone in for booking. But once the booking happens, the record goes into the same system and shows up on CrimeGraphics for the public to see.

The jail has a modest capacity. Booking volume is lower than in urban California counties. That works in your favor when you are searching for records. There are fewer entries to sort through, which makes it easier to find the person you are looking for in the Lassen County booking data.

Lassen County Inmate Communications

Lassen County uses Securus Technologies for jail communications. This is the system for phone calls, video visits, and messaging between inmates and people on the outside. If someone has been booked into the Lassen County jail and you want to get in touch, Securus is the way to do it. You set up an account on the Securus website, add funds, and schedule calls or visits from there.

Phone calls from the Lassen County jail go through Securus. There are per-minute charges. Video visits are also available and can be done from a computer or phone. These services have fees set by Securus, not by the Lassen County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's website should have links to the correct Securus pages for Lassen County.

Keep in mind that communication services are separate from booking record access. You can search for booking records for free on CrimeGraphics. Talking to someone in custody costs money through Securus. The two serve different purposes but both relate to people who have been booked into the Lassen County jail.

Phone Calls After Booking

Under Penal Code 851.5, every person booked into the Lassen County jail gets at least three phone calls within three hours. These calls are free of charge. The person can call a lawyer, a bail bond agent, or family. Jail staff must make a phone available. This right exists at every jail in California, and Lassen County is no exception. The three-hour clock starts when booking begins.

These initial phone calls are different from the Securus phone system. The three free calls happen right after booking. After that, ongoing communication goes through Securus at the inmate's expense (or the expense of whoever they are calling). The booking call right is a legal guarantee. The ongoing Securus service is a paid service.

Getting Lassen County Booking Records

The CrimeGraphics portal gives you quick online access to Lassen County booking data. For a basic search, that is all you need. Type a name, see results, and check the booking details. But if you need a certified copy or a more detailed record, you can contact the Lassen County Sheriff directly.
