Access Clallam County Jail Roster

The Clallam County jail roster is the public log of people booked into the county jail by the Clallam County Sheriff. Use it to look up an inmate by name, find a booking date, or check the current custody status. Clallam County sits on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington, with Port Angeles as its main hub. This page walks you through how to search the Clallam County jail roster, where to find related court data, and how to file a records request when the online list does not show what you need.

Clallam County Sheriff and the Jail

The Clallam County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail and keeps the Clallam County jail roster. The jail holds pre-trial detainees and sentenced inmates. The Sheriff's Office serves the unincorporated parts of the county, while city police in Port Angeles, Sequim, and Forks make their own arrests. Most of those city arrests feed into the same county jail, so they show up on the same roster.

The Clallam County Jail page is the online stop for current roster data. It gives basic booking info for people held now. The jail register is kept open to public inspection under state law.

If a new booking is slow to post on the Clallam County jail roster, call the Sheriff's records desk. New arrests can take a few hours to show up online. The Sheriff can also tell you if the person has been moved to a state prison under RCW 72.09.

How to Search the Clallam County Jail Roster

Start with the name of the person you want to find. Type the last name into the Sheriff's roster lookup. The list will show the booking date, the charges, the hour and date of the hold, and the bail amount when set. Scan the list for the right match and open the record to see the full set of data.

If the name is not on the Clallam County jail roster, try the state tools. The Washington DOC Incarcerated Search is for people held in state prison. The DOC Search Resources page links to state and federal tools in one place. The Odyssey court portal lets you tie a name to a Clallam County court case.

To run a quick search on the Clallam County jail roster, you will want:

• The full name of the person
• The date of arrest if you know it
• The town or area where the arrest took place

Public Records and the Clallam County Jail Roster

Under RCW 70.48.100, every jail in Washington must keep a jail register that is open to the public. The Clallam County jail follows this rule. The law says the jail must log the name of each person held, the hour and date of the booking, the cause of the hold, and the hour, date, and manner of release. This is the core of the Clallam County jail roster.

Medical records, mental health records, and security plans are exempt. The full inmate file is held in confidence and only shared with criminal justice agencies, the courts, or with the written consent of the person. The Clallam County Public Records Office is the formal way to ask for records beyond the basic roster.

The Public Records Act at RCW 42.56 gives you a strong right to ask for records. You do not need to give a reason. The Sheriff must reply within five business days. The reply may be the record, a denial, or a time estimate. Fees may apply for copies.

Custody Alerts for Clallam County Inmates

The state runs a free alert service called VINE. Sign up with a name and a phone or email. The system will send an alert when a Clallam County inmate is released, moved, or booked again. VINE is free and kept in confidence. It works for both the Clallam County jail and the state prison system.

The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs helps run the VINE program across the state. VINE is the best fit when you want a live alert but cannot check the Clallam County jail roster each day. The DOC Victim Services Program at (800) 322-2201 is a good next stop when the person has been moved from the jail to a state facility.

Court Cross-References for Clallam County

Clallam County Superior Court handles felony cases. Clallam County District Court handles most misdemeanor cases. Both courts feed into the Odyssey court portal. Use the portal to tie a jail roster name to a case number and a next hearing.

For a formal criminal history, use the WATCH service from the State Patrol. WATCH is a paid conviction history check. It is not a live Clallam County jail roster. It only shows cases that led to a conviction.

For federal holds, the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator lists federal inmates. The ICE Online Detainee Locator covers people held on immigration matters.
