Fremont Quick Facts
Alameda County Jail Records
Fremont is in Alameda County. There are no city jails in Fremont. All bookings go to county facilities. When someone is arrested in Fremont, they are taken to Santa Rita Jail in Dublin or Glenn E. Dyer in Oakland. Those two jails serve all of Alameda County.
Santa Rita Jail is the main booking center. It sits in Dublin. Most Fremont arrests go there. Glenn E. Dyer is in downtown Oakland. It is smaller and used for court appearances and short stays. Both jails feed into the same inmate database run by the Alameda County Sheriff's Office at acgov.org/sheriff_app. You search both facilities at once on that site.
The inmate locator updates many times a day. When an officer books someone in Fremont, the system posts the name and charge within a few hours. If the person gets released, the tool shows that too. You see the booking date, the release date if applicable, and where they are held right now. Some data may not show if a case is still under investigation. In most cases, basic arrest info for Fremont bookings is public under Government Code 7923.610.

Search for Fremont Bookings
You search for Fremont bookings online using the Alameda County inmate locator. It is free to use. Go to acgov.org/sheriff_app and enter a name. You can also filter by bookings in the last 24 hours. That shows the newest arrests in Fremont and the rest of the county.
The system asks for a first and last name. It does not need the full address or date of birth. If you know the PFN number, you can use that instead of a name. The PFN is a booking number. It is unique to each arrest. If you have it, the search goes faster. Results show the person's name, age, booking date, charges, bail amount, and where they are now. You see if they are in Santa Rita or Glenn E. Dyer or if they got out.
There are three ways to search for Fremont bookings:
- Enter both first and last name to find a specific person
- Use the PFN booking number if you have it from a prior record
- Check the box for last 24 hours to see the most recent Fremont arrests
Some names may not show up. Under Government Code 6254(f), law enforcement can withhold names if disclosure would risk safety or an ongoing case. This does not happen often, but it can apply to Fremont bookings tied to sensitive investigations. Most arrests appear on the site within hours of booking.
Note: The inmate locator only shows people who were formally booked into jail, not those cited and released at the scene in Fremont.
Requesting Fremont Arrest Records
For full arrest reports, you submit a records request to the Alameda County Sheriff. The online search shows booking info, but it does not give you the arrest report itself. If you want a copy of the report for a Fremont arrest, you must ask the sheriff records division. They handle all requests for police reports in unincorporated areas and for sheriff arrests.
Fremont also has its own police force. If Fremont Police made the arrest, you request the report from Fremont PD Records Division. Their office is at 2000 Stevenson Blvd in Fremont. You can fill out a request form online or in person. The cost varies based on how many pages you need. Most reports cost a few dollars per page. Visit fremontpolice.gov for details on how to request a Fremont arrest report from the city police.

State Inmate Search Systems
If a Fremont arrest leads to a state prison sentence, the person moves out of county jail and into the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation system. At that point, you search for them using CIRIS, the state inmate locator. CIRIS stands for California Incarcerated Records and Information Search. It is free and public at ciris.mt.cdcr.ca.gov.
CIRIS shows state prisoners only. It does not show county jail inmates. If a Fremont resident is in Santa Rita, they will not appear in CIRIS. Once they go to state prison, the county system stops tracking them. CIRIS gives you the CDCR number, age, current location, admission date, and parole hearing info. This system covers all 33 state prisons in California. For more on state records, see the main California bookings page.
