The Tehama County Sheriff's Office Records Division is the central repository for all booking logs, investigation reports, and official records.

How Tehama County Bookings Work

Tehama County is a small county with limited law enforcement agencies. The sheriff's office handles patrol for most of the area. The Red Bluff Police Department and Corning Police Department also make arrests in the county. All of these agencies use the county jail for booking. That means the sheriff's records division is the one place to check for any Tehama County booking report.

The booking process follows California standards. Officers record the person's name, date of birth, physical description, charges, arrest time, and bail amount. Fingerprints and photos are taken. Under California Government Code Section 7923.600, all of this booking data is public. The law says law enforcement must release names, charges, bail amounts, arrest times, and custody locations for people booked into a Tehama County jail. You do not need a special reason to request this information.

Note: Tehama County's Records Division handles both booking logs and investigation reports, so specify that you want booking data when you call or email.

Tehama County Booking Report Laws

Your right to see Tehama County booking reports is protected by the California Public Records Act. The sheriff must respond to your request within 10 days. A limited 14-day extension may apply in some cases, but that is not common for straightforward booking report requests. Copying fees are typically 10 cents per page for standard duplicates.

A Tehama County booking report covers one arrest. It is a public record. A full criminal history showing all past arrests is different. Penal Code Section 13300 restricts criminal history summaries to authorized users. Only the person can request their own through the California DOJ for $25 plus fingerprinting costs. So if you need just one booking report from Tehama County, ask the sheriff's records division. If you need a full criminal history, you must go through the DOJ.

People booked in Tehama County who are not convicted can petition to seal their arrest records under Penal Code Section 851.91. The petition is filed with the local court. Sealed records no longer show in public Tehama County searches.
