Siskiyou County Recent Arrests

Siskiyou County recent arrests can be checked through the sheriff's online portal powered by CitizenRIMS. The county sits at the very top of California, right along the Oregon border, with a population of about 44,000. Yreka serves as the county seat. The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office handles most law enforcement in the area and runs the county jail. Recent booking records are posted online for the public to view. You can search by name and see charges, bail, and booking details for people currently in custody. The search tool is free and runs at all hours.

Siskiyou County Arrest Booking Records

The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office uses a CitizenRIMS portal to publish current custody information. CitizenRIMS is a system used by many smaller California counties to give the public access to jail booking data. On this site, you can browse a list of people currently held in the Siskiyou County Jail or search for a specific name. Each listing shows the person's name, charges, booking date, and other details. The tool updates as new bookings are processed and inmates are released.

The Siskiyou County Jail is located in Yreka. It is a relatively small facility, matching the county's rural population. Arrests made by the sheriff's deputies, Yreka police, Mount Shasta police, Dunsmuir officers, and other agencies in the county all feed into this jail. The booking process creates the record that then shows up on the CitizenRIMS portal. Because the county's arrest volume is lower than in urban areas, the jail viewer may show only a small number of current inmates at any given time.

Note: The CitizenRIMS portal only displays people currently in custody, not historical booking records.

Arrest Record Laws in Siskiyou County

California's public records laws apply to Siskiyou County the same way they apply to every other county in the state. Government Code 7923.610 says law enforcement must share the arrested person's full name, physical description, time and date of arrest, time and date of booking, location of the arrest, the circumstances around it, bail, and all charges. There is no size threshold. A county with 44,000 people follows the same disclosure rules as one with millions.

If you want a copy of a full arrest report from Siskiyou County, you submit a public records request. The California Public Records Act gives you the right to ask. The sheriff's office has 10 days to respond. Some parts of the report may be redacted if they involve investigative details, but the basic booking facts are public. You do not need to explain why you are asking for the records.

Sealing Siskiyou County Arrests

People arrested in Siskiyou County who were not convicted can petition to seal their arrest record. Penal Code 851.87 provides this option. You file the petition with the Siskiyou County Superior Court in Yreka. If the court approves it, the arrest record is sealed from public view. You can then legally say you were not arrested for that charge. This helps with background checks for jobs and housing.

Automatic relief is also available under Penal Code 851.93. The California DOJ reviews arrest records across the state every month. If a misdemeanor arrest from January 2021 or later ended with dismissed charges or no charges filed within a year, the DOJ grants relief without a petition. This covers Siskiyou County arrests. No court appearance or filing fee is required.

Note: Even after sealing, law enforcement and some licensing boards may still access the sealed record in limited circumstances.
