Fremont Arrest Records Online

Fremont Police officers transport arrested people to Santa Rita Jail in Dublin. That is the main detention facility for Alameda County. It sits at 5325 Broder Boulevard. The phone is (925) 551-6500. Once the booking process finishes at Santa Rita, the arrest record appears in the online locator. This usually takes a few hours. Fremont arrests that result in a cite and release will not show up in the jail system since the person was not booked in.

The locator notes that some names may not appear due to exemptions under California Government Code section 6254(f). This applies when showing the record could hurt an active case or put someone at risk. For most Fremont arrests, the data is available.

Fremont Police Records Division

The Fremont Police Department records unit handles requests for arrest reports. When Fremont officers make an arrest, they create a detailed report. That report stays with the department. If you need a copy, contact the records division. The California Public Records Act gives you the right to request these documents. The department must respond within 10 days.

Fees for copies of Fremont arrest reports depend on the format and length. Digital copies may be available at lower cost. The records unit can tell you the exact fee when you submit your request. For questions about a specific Fremont arrest, the department can confirm whether a report exists and how to obtain it.

Note: Fremont PD does not publish a daily arrest log on its website like some other Bay Area cities do.

Alameda County Jail and Fremont Bookings

Santa Rita Jail processes all Fremont arrest bookings. The facility is one of the largest in Northern California. During intake, jail staff record the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, and all charges from the arresting Fremont officer. A bail amount gets set according to the Alameda County bail schedule. Fingerprints and a booking photo are taken. Once this process wraps up, the arrest record goes live in the online system.

Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility in downtown Oakland also holds Alameda County inmates. People with court appearances at the Rene C. Davidson Courthouse may be housed there. Both facilities feed into the same inmate locator. So whether a Fremont arrest leads to housing at Santa Rita or Glenn E. Dyer, one search covers it all.

Results in the locator show a "Pending Release" status for inmates going through the release process. This does not mean they are out. The release process at Alameda County jails can take several hours to complete.

Fremont Arrest Disclosure Under State Law

Government Code 7923.610 requires California law enforcement agencies to disclose arrest details. The law covers the person's full name, physical description, date of birth, date and time of arrest, booking info, arrest location, charges, bail, and release or custody status. Fremont Police and the Alameda County Sheriff both comply with this statute. It is why the inmate locator shows so much booking data for every person in the system.

Agencies can withhold specific details if disclosure would endanger someone or compromise an investigation. This exception is applied narrowly. The vast majority of Fremont arrest records are fully disclosed through the county booking system and through records requests made under the Public Records Act.
