Placer County Booking Records
Placer County 72 hour booking records come from the Placer County Sheriff's Office, which runs the county jail in Auburn. The sheriff posts booking data through an online inmate search tool that anyone can use for free. Placer County sits in the Sierra foothills and stretches from the Sacramento suburbs up to Lake Tahoe. The jail handles bookings from across this wide area. You can search for recent bookings by name and see charges, bail, and custody status. The county uses the ATIMS system for its inmate database. If you need older records or a formal copy, you can file a public records request through the sheriff's office. The system is straightforward and the data is kept current.
Placer County Booking Quick Facts
Placer County Booking Law
California makes booking records public by law. Government Code 7923.610 lists what must be shared when a person is booked into jail. That includes the full name, date of birth, charges, bail amount, time and date of booking, arrest location, and which facility holds the person. The Placer County Sheriff cannot refuse to share this data. It does not matter who asks or why they want it.
People booked into Placer County jail also have rights. Penal Code 851.5 gives each person three free phone calls within three hours of being booked. They can call a lawyer, bail agent, or family member. The jail must allow these calls and cannot charge for them.
The Public Records Act covers all booking data in Placer County. If you submit a request and it gets denied, you have the right to challenge that decision. In practice, the sheriff's office handles these requests without much pushback.

The tool is free and works at any hour.
The Placer County Sheriff's ATIMS inmate search database lets the public look up 72 hour booking records and current custody status online.
The ATIMS system is used by many California counties. It pulls data from the jail management system in real time. New bookings show up once processing is done. If someone was just brought in, there could be a delay of a few hours before the record appears in the search results. You can try again later if a name does not come up right away.
Placer County also has a public records request portal. You can submit requests through the Placer County Sheriff public records portal. This is useful for getting copies of booking records, older jail data, or records not shown in the online search.
The Placer County Sheriff's public records request form at pra.placersheriff.org handles formal requests for booking records and other law enforcement data.

Note: The online inmate search shows current custody data, while the records request portal is for formal copies and older records.

Placer Booking Records by Mail
To get a hard copy of a Placer County booking record, send a written request to the Placer County Sheriff's Office, Records Division, at 2929 Richardson Drive, Auburn, CA 95603.

Phone inquiries are another option. Call the records line and ask about a specific booking. They can often confirm basic details over the phone. For anything that needs to be certified or used in court, you will want a formal written request or to use the online portal.
Placer County Arrest Records
Booking records and arrest records overlap but are not the same. A booking record is what the jail creates during intake. An arrest record is held by the police agency that made the arrest. In Placer County, the Roseville Police Department handles arrests in Roseville. The Rocklin Police handle Rocklin arrests. Lincoln Police cover Lincoln. But all jail bookings go to the county sheriff's system. So the booking data ends up in one place no matter which city made the arrest.
If you want the full arrest report, including the police narrative and incident details, you need to contact the specific city police department. The booking record from the sheriff will show the charges and basic facts, but not the full police report. For 72 hour booking info, the sheriff's inmate search is the right tool.
