Frederickson Jail Roster
The Frederickson jail roster is the booking log for people picked up by the Pierce County Sheriff in the Frederickson area and held at the Pierce County Jail in Tacoma. Frederickson is not a city. It is an unincorporated community in Pierce County. That means the Sheriff runs patrol, not a city police force. Use this page to find out how to search the Frederickson jail roster by name, where to look for the live list, and what to do when the online roster does not show the person you need to find.
Frederickson Jail Roster Overview
Where to Find the Frederickson Jail Roster
Start with the Pierce County LINX online jail roster. LINX is the Pierce County inmate lookup tool. It shows the current roster at the Pierce County Jail in downtown Tacoma. Type a last name and scan the list. The tool shows the booking date, the housing unit, the charges, and the bail amount when set. Almost every arrest made in Frederickson ends up on LINX.
The Pierce County Sheriff's Department runs patrol in the Frederickson area. The Sheriff's site has a records unit phone, a public records request form, and a link to LINX. Use the Sheriff's site when you need an incident report that goes with a booking.
The Odyssey court portal ties a jail roster name to a court case. Search by name to see the next hearing. Pierce County District Court handles most unincorporated area cases.
Note: LINX data can lag by 15 to 60 minutes during busy intake hours, so give it some time and check again.
How the Frederickson Jail Roster Is Kept
The Pierce County Sheriff runs the jail. The jail keeps the open register under RCW 70.48.100. The register must list the name of each person held, the hour and date of booking, the cause of the booking, and the hour and date of release. This is the core of the Frederickson jail roster. The law calls for a log, and the county uses LINX to make it live online.
The Frederickson area has no city limits, so there is no city police log to search. There is no Frederickson Municipal Court. All cases run through Pierce County District Court or Pierce County Superior Court.
If the name does not show up on LINX, try these steps:
- Wait an hour and search again
- Call the Pierce County Jail records desk
- Set up a free alert on vinelink.com
- Check the Washington DOC Incarcerated Search

Court Records for Frederickson Cases
Cases from Frederickson move to Pierce County District Court for misdemeanor and traffic cases. Felony cases go to Pierce County Superior Court. The District Court runs a records desk that can pull a file by name. Many files can be viewed free on the Odyssey portal.
Note: Court file data can trail jail booking data by a day, so a new case may not show on Odyssey the same day as the arrest.
Public Records Rules for Frederickson
The Frederickson jail roster is open. The full inmate file is not. Under the Washington Public Records Act in RCW Chapter 42.56, anyone can ask for a copy of the jail register. The Pierce County Sheriff must reply within five business days. They may give you the record, deny it, or ask for more time. There is no need to give a reason.
Some parts of the jail file are held back. Medical records, mental health records, and housing plans are not released. Booking photos are shared under rules set in RCW 70.48.100.
The Washington DOC runs prisons under RCW Chapter 72.09. A Frederickson case that ends with prison time moves into the DOC system. You can track the person on the DOC inmate search and get alerts on VINE.
Custody Alerts and Criminal History
The VINE service sends free alerts when the custody status of a person on the Frederickson jail roster changes. Sign up with a name and phone number. VINE calls, emails, or texts you when the person is booked, moved, or released.
For a Washington criminal history, use the WATCH tool from the State Patrol. WATCH shows conviction data, not jail bookings, but it is a good pair with a Frederickson jail roster search.
