Find Vallejo Arrest Records

Vallejo recent arrest records are held by the Solano County Sheriff's Office. The Vallejo Police Department handles arrests in the city, but the county manages the jail system and the booking database. When someone gets arrested in Vallejo, they end up in the county booking system. The Solano County Sheriff runs an online inmate search that is free and open to anyone. You just type in a name and see who is currently in custody. Vallejo has one of the higher arrest rates in Solano County, so the booking data updates frequently.

Vallejo Arrest and Booking Process

Vallejo Police Department officers patrol the city and make arrests. After taking someone into custody, they transport the person to the Solano County jail for booking. The county facility processes all the paperwork and enters the arrest into the central database. The booking record includes the person's name, date of birth, physical description, charges, bail amount, and arresting agency. For Vallejo arrests, the arresting agency shows as Vallejo PD.

The Vallejo PD also maintains its own crime data page where you can find information about arrests and crime trends in the city. This is different from the county inmate search. The PD page gives you a broader view of what is happening in Vallejo, while the county system tells you whether a specific person is currently in jail.

Note: Vallejo PD crime data provides arrest trends, while the county inmate search gives individual booking details.

How to Search Vallejo Recent Arrests

The Solano County Sheriff's inmate search is your main resource. Go to the site and type in a name. The database returns anyone who matches and is currently in county custody. You can see their charges, bail, booking date, and location. The tool is free. No account needed. It works at any time.

If you cannot find someone online, try calling the Solano County jail. Staff can check the system and tell you whether a person is in custody. This works well when you do not know the exact spelling of a name or when the person might have been booked under a different name. Phone access is available during regular business hours for most questions, though custody status checks may be available outside those hours as well.

• Visit the Solano County inmate search portal
• Enter the person's first and last name
• Check the results for booking date, charges, and bail
• Call the Solano County jail if the online tool does not help
• Try the Vallejo PD crime data page for broader arrest information

The California DOJ form below is used for public records requests at the state level. You can use this to request records that go beyond what the county inmate search shows.

State-level requests take longer than checking the county database but can turn up information that local searches miss.

Vallejo Arrest Record Disclosure

Under Government Code 7923.610, Vallejo PD and the Solano County Sheriff must share certain arrest information with the public. The law lists what must be disclosed: the arrested person's full name and occupation, physical description, date of birth, arrest time and date, booking time and date, arrest location, circumstances, bail amount, release information, and all charges. This is mandatory. The only exception applies when sharing a detail would endanger someone or interfere with an active investigation.

This law has been in effect since January 1, 2023. It replaced older rules and made the requirements clearer. For anyone trying to find out about a recent arrest in Vallejo, this law is the reason you can access that data. Agencies cannot refuse basic booking information without a specific legal reason.

Sealing Vallejo Arrest Records

Arrested in Vallejo but never convicted? California law offers two paths to clean up your record. The first is through Penal Code 851.87. You petition Solano County Superior Court to seal the arrest. If approved, the record disappears from most searches. Employers running background checks will not see it. You can legally say you were not arrested for that charge.

The second path is automatic. Under AB 1076, the California DOJ reviews records monthly. Eligible misdemeanor arrests from 2021 onward get relief without any action from you. The charges have to have been dismissed or never filed within a year. This automatic system runs in the background and helps clear Vallejo arrest records for people who were never prosecuted.

Reviewing Your Criminal Record

The California DOJ record review lets you check your own complete criminal history. You go to a Live Scan site, submit fingerprints, and pay $25. A fee waiver is available if you qualify. The DOJ sends back a full summary of every arrest on your record from any jurisdiction in California. This includes Vallejo, Solano County, and everywhere else. It is the most complete way to see what is on your record.

You cannot use this to look up someone else. It is personal only. But it is valuable because it shows things the county inmate search does not, like old arrests, dismissed cases, and sealed records (on the internal DOJ version). If there are mistakes, you can challenge them with form BCIA 8706. The DOJ will review and fix errors.

Note: The DOJ record review costs $25 but shows your full statewide criminal history, not just Solano County data.

State Prison Search for Vallejo Cases

If someone from Vallejo was sentenced to state prison, the county inmate search will not show them. You need the CDCR inmate search (CIRIS) instead. It tracks everyone in the California state prison system. Search by name or CDCR number. The results include the facility, admission date, and parole hearing information. This tool only covers people currently in CDCR custody, not those in county jail or already released.
