Spokane Busted Mugshots
Look up Spokane busted mugshots, jail roster data, and arrest records tied to the Spokane Police Department and the Spokane County Jail. Spokane is the largest city in eastern Washington and the seat of Spokane County. Most adult arrests in the city flow through the county jail on West Mallon. This page walks through the main tools to find Spokane mugshots, the offices that hold booking photos and police records, and the steps to file a public records request for Spokane arrest records.
Spokane Police Records
The Spokane Police Department handles patrol, investigations, and arrest work inside city limits. Their main public page sits at spokanepolice.org. The records unit holds incident reports, arrest reports, and case files. A public records request for Spokane police reports goes through the city public records officer under RCW 42.56.
The city gives a five business day first response per RCW 42.56.520. Staff may ship big jobs in installments. Paper copies cost fifteen cents per page. Scans run ten cents per page. Digital transfer is ten cents per gig. Body camera redaction costs more. Under RCW 10.97.130, no site can charge a fee to take down a booking photo. That rule was set up to stop fee-for-removal mugshot sites.
Note: Include a case number on every request to speed the search.
Spokane County Jail Roster
Adults booked in Spokane land at the Spokane County Jail at 1100 West Mallon Avenue. The jail holds minimum, medium, and maximum security inmates. The Geiger Corrections Center at 3507 South Spotted Road takes lower security cases. The jail roster is public under RCW 70.48.100. You can pull it online at cp.spokanecounty.org/detentionservices/inmateroster.aspx. The page lets you search by last name or browse A to Z.
Each record shows the full legal name, a nine digit booking number, the facility, bondable status, and the bond amount. The jail runs over 700 inmates a day on average. The jail line is (509) 477-2278. The jail does not show mugshots on the public roster. Booking photos live in sheriff files and fall under RCW 10.97 for non-conviction data. For more, see the Spokane County busted mugshots page.
Spokane Arrest Records Requests
The city and the county run two records shops. City police reports go to Spokane Police records. County jail and sheriff records go to the Spokane County Sheriff public records office at 824 North Adams Street. The county uses GovQA for intake. Phone is (509) 477-1721. Email is SpoCoPRR@SpokaneCounty.org.
Required info for a good request: specific records, dates, names, file numbers, and format wanted. Response time is five business days under RCW 42.56.520. The sheriff may ask for a deposit on any request over twenty-five dollars. Fees match the county schedule: paper copies at fifteen cents, color at thirty cents, scans at ten cents, certified court copies at five dollars for the first page.
Spokane Court Records
The Spokane Municipal Court handles city-level misdemeanors and traffic. The Spokane County Superior Court handles felony cases and civil work over one hundred thousand dollars. The county also runs a court document viewer at cp.spokanecounty.org/courtdocumentviewer. You can search by name, by case number, or by defendant name for criminal cases.
Case types on the viewer include civil actions, felonies, gross misdemeanors, divorce, probate, paternity, and protection orders. Dependency, juvenile, and adoption records are closed. Certified copies cost five dollars for the first page and one dollar each more. Non-certified copies cost twenty-five cents per page. Spokane County is on the statewide Odyssey portal, so case summaries also show up at odysseyportal.courts.wa.gov.
Jail Visits and VINELink
The Spokane County Jail uses video-only visits through Securus Video Connect. No in-person face-to-face visits. You create an account and wait 24 hours for approval. Free kiosks are in the jail lobby. Visits do not run on major holidays.
VINELink sends alerts when custody status changes. The Washington line is 1-877-846-3492. The service is free and anonymous. For state prison inmates, use the Washington Department of Corrections inmate search.
Search Tips for Spokane Mugshots
A good Spokane mugshot search needs a few facts up front.
- Full name and date of birth
- Rough date of arrest
- Booking number or case number
- Arresting agency, city or county
Start on the Spokane County jail roster for current bookings. Move to the Spokane Police records unit for the full police file. Use the court document viewer for case status. Check the statewide Odyssey portal for older case summaries. Use WATCH at watch.wsp.wa.gov for a state-level check.
State Tools for Spokane Records
Washington runs a few state tools that help with Spokane busted mugshots and arrest records. The WATCH site at watch.wsp.wa.gov gives conviction data for a small fee. The state Department of Corrections runs its own inmate search for people in state prison. VINELink at 1-877-846-3492 sends free alerts when custody status changes. Spokane County sits on the statewide Odyssey portal, so case summaries also show up at odysseyportal.courts.wa.gov.
The Washington State Patrol holds collision reports that Spokane Police does not always carry. See wsp.wa.gov/driver/collision-records or call 360-570-2355 for a copy. For federal cases, the PACER system holds court files for the Eastern District of Washington.
Note: Commercial use of Spokane mugshots has limits under RCW 10.97.130.
The Spokane Regional Emergency Communications center at 1620 North Rebecca, phone (509) 532-8911, holds dispatch audio and CAD logs. Ask for those files through the center, not the police records unit.
