The staff deal with fewer requests, which means they may respond faster. But there may not be a full online search portal like the bigger counties have. For Colusa County booking reports, a phone call is often the most direct approach.

Colusa County Jail Booking Process

The Colusa County Jail is the only booking facility in the county. Sheriff's deputies, the Colusa Police, Williams Police, and any state agencies that make arrests in the area all bring people here. The booking process creates a record with the arrested person's name, date of birth, physical description, charges, arrest time, and bail amount. This data becomes the Colusa County booking report.

California Government Code Section 7923.600 requires law enforcement to release booking data to the public. For Colusa County, that means anyone can request names, charges, bail amounts, arrest times, and where the person is being held. You do not need a reason or authorization. The visitation policy at the Colusa County Jail allows two 30-minute visits per week for people in custody, but visitation access is separate from records access.

Colusa County Arrest Record Laws

Only you can get your own through the California DOJ for $25 plus fingerprints. A single booking report from Colusa County showing one arrest is public and available to anyone who asks.

People booked in Colusa County have the right to make phone calls during the booking process. Penal Code Section 851.5 gives arrested people at least three completed phone calls within three hours of booking. This is a statewide rule that applies at the Colusa County Jail just like everywhere else in California.

Sealing Colusa County Booking Records

If you were booked in Colusa County and the case did not lead to a conviction, you may seal the record. Penal Code Section 851.91 lets people petition to seal arrest records. The petition goes to the local court. Once sealed, the Colusa County booking report will not appear in public record searches. People found factually innocent have an even stronger path under Penal Code Section 851.8.

Note: Sealing a Colusa County booking record requires a court petition and is not automatic, even if charges are dropped.
