Beaverton Arrest and Booking Records
Beaverton jail mugshots and arrest records are handled through the Washington County system. As Oregon's sixth largest city, Beaverton sits just west of Portland in the heart of Washington County. The Beaverton Police Department makes arrests within city limits, but all bookings go to the Washington County Jail in Hillsboro. That means Beaverton jail mugshots and booking data are stored at the county level. The Washington County Sheriff runs the jail at 215 SW Adams Ave in Hillsboro. You can search for current inmates through the sheriff's online custody list or call the jail at (503) 846-2700 for booking details.
Beaverton Police Department Arrest Process
The Beaverton Police Department is the main law enforcement body in the city. Chief Ronda Groshong leads the department from its headquarters at 4755 SW Griffith Dr, Beaverton, OR 97076. The main phone line is (503) 526-2260. Officers patrol city streets, respond to calls, and make arrests. But Beaverton does not run its own jail. That is a key point for anyone looking for Beaverton jail mugshots or booking records.
When Beaverton police arrest someone, the person is taken to the Washington County Jail for booking. At the jail, staff take a booking photo, log personal details, and record the charges. This process is the same for all cities in Washington County. So a Beaverton arrest results in a Washington County booking record. The jail mugshot taken at that time is tied to the county, not the city. If you want to find a Beaverton jail mugshot, you need to search Washington County records. The Beaverton Police Department keeps its own arrest reports, but the mugshot and booking sheet are at the county jail.
The Beaverton Police Department website offers details on how to reach the records team and how to file reports.
Visit beavertonoregon.gov/police for more on the department and its services. You can also fax records requests to (503) 526-2541.
Note: Beaverton Municipal Court handles local violations and some misdemeanors but does not hold inmates or take booking photos.
Washington County Jail Mugshots for Beaverton
The Washington County Jail at 215 SW Adams Ave in Hillsboro is where all Beaverton arrests are processed. The jail books people from across Washington County. Every person booked in gets a jail mugshot and a booking record. These records include the person's name, date of birth, charges, arresting agency, and booking date. For Beaverton arrests, the arresting agency field will show Beaverton Police Department.
You can search for current inmates on the Washington County Sheriff's website at washingtoncountyor.gov/sheriff. The custody list lets you search by the first letter of the last name. Each entry shows basic booking data. However, jail mugshots are not shown on the public list due to Oregon law. The sheriff's office removed booking photos from its online roster to comply with HB 3273, which took effect on January 1, 2022.
To check on someone booked from Beaverton, call the Washington County Jail at (503) 846-2700. Staff can confirm if a person is in custody and what charges they face. They can also tell you the booking date and time. This is the fastest way to get current custody data for a Beaverton arrest.
Beaverton Booking Photos and HB 3273
Oregon passed HB 3273 in 2021. It took effect on January 1, 2022. This law limits how law enforcement can share jail mugshots. Before the law, many Oregon agencies posted booking photos on their websites. Now, agencies like the Washington County Sheriff cannot post Beaverton jail mugshots on public rosters or social media.
The law still allows release of booking photos in some cases. These include release to the person in the photo, to other law enforcement, to crime victims, and to parties in court cases. After a conviction, the mugshot tied to that arrest can be made public. If you believe you have a right to see a Beaverton jail mugshot under one of these cases, contact the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Commercial sites that post mugshots must follow strict rules under the law. They must take down a Beaverton booking photo within 30 days of a removal request. They cannot charge more than $50 for that removal. This applies to all Oregon jail mugshots, not just those from Beaverton or Washington County.
Note: HB 3273 does not block access to arrest reports, booking sheets, or other jail records from Beaverton arrests.
Requesting Beaverton Arrest Records
Beaverton arrest records are public under ORS Chapter 192. You can get them from two places. The Beaverton Police Department holds the arrest report. The Washington County Jail holds the booking sheet and jail mugshot. You may need to contact both depending on what you need.

It shows the charges, the arresting agency, and the booking date and time. For Beaverton arrests, the agency field will read Beaverton Police Department.
The booking sheet also shows the bail amount, court date, and housing unit within the jail. Some records include the case number and the name of the arresting officer.
