Find someone arrested in Alpine County.

Alpine County has no jail. Confirm the transfer with the Sheriff, then search the receiving county’s live custody record.

Follow the route ↓

One decision at a time

Use the jail that actually received the person.

Alpine County handles the local arrest but does not operate the place of confinement.

  1. 01

    Confirm who made the arrest

    Alpine County Sheriff provides countywide law enforcement. Ask whether booking is complete and which county received the person.

  2. 02

    Search El Dorado County first

    The Alpine Superior Court specifically points custody questions to El Dorado County and names South Lake Tahoe Jail.

  3. 03

    Check Calaveras when directed

    Alpine also contracts jail service to Calaveras County. Use that locator when the Sheriff, court paperwork, or case information points there.

  4. 04

    Save the current facility and booking number

    The receiving jail’s name and booking number are needed for visiting, calls, mail, and account questions.

  5. 05

    Check again before traveling or paying

    A person can move between facilities. Reopen the live locator or call the receiving jail before the next task.

The possible destinations

Three jail doors. None are in Alpine County.

Open the guide for the facility shown in the current custody record.

Before the next step

If neither search shows a record

The receiving county controls the live record and current facility rules. Keep the custody details in front of you.
