Davis California Arrest Records

Davis arrest records come from the Davis Police Department in Yolo County. This college town is home to UC Davis and has a smaller crime rate than many California cities. The police department serves the city and works closely with university police for campus-related incidents. People arrested in Davis are booked into the Yolo County jail. Criminal cases go through Yolo County Superior Court. Both the city and county keep records you can request.

Davis Police Department Records

The Davis Police Department handles arrests and keeps records for the city. Contact their records unit for copies of police reports and arrest documentation. Standard public records request procedures apply under the California Public Records Act.

Fees and processing times vary based on what you request. Having a case number makes searches faster. If you do not have the case number, provide details about the date, location, and people involved in the incident.

The city police cover Davis proper. UC Davis has its own police department for campus incidents. If an arrest happened on university grounds, you may need to contact UC Davis Police instead of Davis city police.

UC Davis Police and Campus Arrests

UC Davis has its own police department with sworn officers. They handle arrests and incidents on university property. Campus police are separate from Davis city police even though they work in the same general area.

For arrests on campus, contact UC Davis Police for records. They maintain their own files separate from city police. If you are unsure which agency handled an incident, both departments can help direct you to the right place.

Campus police records requests follow UC system policies. This may differ slightly from city police procedures. The university has its own public records process.

Note: Joint operations between city and campus police may result in records held by both agencies.

Davis Arrests and Yolo County Jail

People arrested in Davis go to the Yolo County jail. The county sheriff runs the detention facility in Woodland. Search for inmates through the Yolo County Sheriff's website.

The sheriff posts jail rosters and booking information online. You can search by name to see if someone is in custody. The system shows current inmates with charges and bail amounts.

Yolo County is smaller than Sacramento County. The jail population is smaller too. But the same process applies. City police arrest, county jail books and holds.

Davis Criminal Court Records

Criminal cases from Davis arrests go to Yolo County Superior Court. The main courthouse is in Woodland. Court records show case outcomes including charges filed, pleas, and sentences.

Court records tell you what happened after an arrest. Did the DA prosecute? Was there a conviction or dismissal? These details appear in court records, not police arrest reports. The two sources together give you the full picture.

Contact Yolo County Superior Court for information about searching their records. They may have online access or require in-person visits depending on what you need.
