Frederickson Jail Overview
Where Frederickson Arrests Are Processed
Because Frederickson is unincorporated, no city government exists here and there is no municipal police force. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office has full jurisdiction over this community. Deputies assigned to the South Hill and Frederickson area respond to calls and handle arrests. When someone is arrested in Frederickson, the deputy transports them to the Pierce County Jail in Tacoma, which is the main booking facility for all of unincorporated Pierce County.
The Pierce County Jail is at 910 Tacoma Ave S in Tacoma. It is run by the Pierce County Sheriff's corrections division. The facility handles both pre-trial detention and sentenced inmates serving shorter terms. Frederickson arrests show up in the jail system under Pierce County Sheriff as the arresting agency. The jail is separate from the Pierce County Juvenile Detention Center, which handles youth cases.

Frederickson sits in eastern Pierce County between Tacoma and Puyallup. The area has grown steadily over recent years. The Sheriff's Office patrols a large unincorporated territory that includes Frederickson along with South Hill, Graham, and other communities. Arrests here are handled the same way as those in any unincorporated part of the county, with the jail in Tacoma serving as the booking and detention point.
How to Search the Frederickson Inmate Population
Pierce County uses the LINX system for its jail roster. LINX (Law Information Network Exchange) is the county's integrated justice database and the public-facing jail roster is one part of it. You can search for current Frederickson inmates through the LINX jail roster at no cost.
Access the LINX jail roster at linxonline.co.pierce.wa.us. The roster shows current bookings with names, booking dates, charges, and custody status. One useful feature is that LINX links booking records to related Pierce County Superior Court case numbers, so you can move directly from an inmate record to the court case without a separate search. Frederickson arrests appear as Pierce County Sheriff bookings in this system.
The image below shows the Pierce County LINX jail roster, where Frederickson inmate population records appear alongside other county sheriff bookings.
You can also use the Pierce County Sheriff's dedicated inmate search page at piercesheriff.org/inmate-search. This page has a simpler interface and is a direct way to search for someone by name without navigating the full LINX system. Both tools pull from the same data and show current custody information.
If a Frederickson resident was convicted of a felony and sentenced to more than one year, they will have been transferred to a Washington State DOC facility rather than remaining at the Pierce County Jail. Check the DOC search at doc.wa.gov in those cases.
Note: LINX covers current bookings only. If the person has been released or transferred, they will not appear in the active jail roster.
Public Records for Frederickson Inmate Records
Washington's Public Records Act under RCW 42.56 makes arrest records and booking data available to the public. You can request these records from the Pierce County Sheriff's Office without stating a reason. The sheriff's office must respond within five business days. Basic arrest and booking records are generally public. Active investigation materials may have limited portions withheld.
Under RCW 70.48.100, the Pierce County Jail must maintain a public register of all confined persons. That register must include each person's name, the date and time of confinement, and the manner of release. LINX satisfies this requirement for the county, and Frederickson arrests are part of that public record.
To request specific records from the Pierce County Sheriff's Office, send an email to SHRpublicrecords@piercecountywa.gov or call 253-798-7366. Written requests are best for anything beyond a basic roster check. For jail-specific records, contact the Pierce County Jail directly at 910 Tacoma Ave S, Tacoma, WA 98402, or call 253-798-4590.
Court records for Frederickson cases go through Pierce County Superior Court for felonies and Pierce County District Court for misdemeanors and infractions. Both are searchable through courts.wa.gov. Because Frederickson has no municipal court, all cases at the district level go to the county district court rather than a city court.
VINE Notification for Frederickson Inmates
VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) tracks custody changes for inmates at the Pierce County Jail. Register at VINELink.com to receive free alerts when a Frederickson inmate is released, transferred, or has a court date. Alerts come by phone, text, or email. You do not need to give your name.
Pierce County participates in the statewide VINE network operated by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. Because Frederickson has no city jail, all Frederickson arrests end up at the Pierce County Jail, which VINE covers. Once you register, VINE monitors custody status automatically and notifies you of changes. The system updates roughly every 15 minutes throughout the day. This is a useful alternative to manually checking LINX, especially if you need to know right away when someone is released.
Note: VINE registration is free and anonymous and covers the Pierce County Jail where all Frederickson arrests are booked.

The Washington State Patrol WATCH system at watch.wsp.wa.gov provides fingerprint-verified criminal history searches for $11.
