Placer County ATIMS Inmate Search

The Placer County Sheriff operates an online inmate search through the ATIMS system at placer-inmatesearch.atimsle.com. ATIMS stands for Advanced Technologies Inmate Management System. This is the main tool for finding released inmates and people still in custody at Placer County jail. The search is free and does not need an account. Type in a name to pull up booking records. Each result shows the charges filed, bail amount, booking date, and custody status. If the person has been released from Placer County jail, you will see the date and time they left. The portal runs all day and updates as new bookings and releases come through.

Placer County jail sits in Auburn, which is the county seat. People arrested by law enforcement across Placer County end up here for processing. That includes arrests in Roseville, Lincoln, Rocklin, and the Tahoe area on the Placer County side. Once someone is booked, their record goes into the ATIMS system. It stays there whether the person is held or released. You can search for recent bookings or check on someone who was released days ago. For older records that no longer show in the online tool, contact the Placer County Sheriff records division directly.

Released inmate records from Placer County typically include these details:

Placer County Released Inmate Data

Booking records for released inmates in Placer County are public. When someone leaves jail, the record does not vanish. The booking data stays in the system. You can still pull up the full name, charges, booking date, and release info. Some people use these records to check on a case or to confirm that a person was released. Others need the data for court filings or legal work. The Placer County Sheriff keeps this information as part of its standard records.

For state prison inmates released to Placer County, use the CIRIS database run by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. CIRIS tracks people who served time in state prisons. It shows the inmate's name, CDCR number, age, facility, and admission date. It does not cover county jail bookings. If you need to check both state prison and Placer County jail records, you will have to use both tools. The CDCR also accepts formal public records requests through its Public Records Portal if you need documents that go beyond what CIRIS shows for a released inmate connected to Placer County.

California Law on Placer County Releases

Government Code 7923.610 makes arrest and booking data public in California. The Placer County Sheriff must share specific details about every person who is arrested. That includes the full name, date of birth, physical description, time and date of arrest, time and date of booking, all charges, bail amount, and how the person was released. The only exception is when sharing a detail would put someone in danger or hurt an active investigation. This law took effect on January 1, 2023. It covers all released inmate records in Placer County and every other county in the state.

State prison parolees who come to Placer County are covered by a separate law. Penal Code 3003 says that CDCR must tell local law enforcement about each parolee being placed in the area. The details include names, physical descriptions, tattoos, scars, offenses, and the address where the released inmate will live in Placer County. A parolee must return to the county they lived in before prison unless CDCR grants a transfer. Each person gets $200 in release money when they leave state prison.

The California Department of Justice PRA page explains how to submit a public records request. Agencies have 10 days to respond. They can take 14 more days in unusual cases.
