Find Moses Lake Recent Bookings

Moses Lake Recent Bookings start with the city police record and then move to the county jail record when a person is booked. Moses Lake does not have its own city jail, so the custody side goes to Grant County Jail in Ephrata while the record trail stays with the city police office and city clerk. That split makes the search easier once you know which office owns which part of the file. If you have a name, date, incident location, or report number, you can keep the request narrow and much faster to sort through.

Search Public Records

Moses Lake Recent Bookings Search

The city’s public records page routes requests through the Moses Lake Public Records Request system, which is the cleanest first step for recent booking records. The page directs requesters to choose the correct department, and for police records that means using the police request path or the NextRequest portal at moseslake-wa.nextrequest.com. The police records office is at 411 S Balsam Street, Moses Lake, WA 98837, with phone (509) 764-3887, fax (509) 764-3919, and email mlpdrecords@cityofml.com. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The city’s form asks for the requestor name, company if applicable, street address, city, state, ZIP, email address, phone number, preferred method of response, the specific records requested, and a signature certifying no commercial use. That level of detail helps the staff find the right arrest report without stretching the request too wide. Moses Lake Recent Bookings are much easier to match when the request names the incident, the date range, or the person involved instead of asking for a vague police file.

If you want to walk the request in, the same public records page points to in-person help at the police department. The records side also has a separate contact path for general city records, which is the City Clerk at City Clerk's Office, 401 S. Balsam St., Moses Lake, WA 98837, phone 509-764-3703, email publicrecords@cityofml.com. Note: The city clerk is useful for city records, but the booking trail still starts with the police file.

Moses Lake Recent Bookings and Grant County

Because Moses Lake uses Grant County Jail in Ephrata, a complete search needs both the city record and the county custody record. The city explains the arrest or incident, while the county roster shows whether the person is still held, has been released, or has moved into another status. That makes Moses Lake Recent Bookings a two-part search in practice. The county jail roster page at Grant County Jail Inmate Roster is the best live custody check, and the county records unit page at Grant County Records Unit shows where sheriff reports and arrest records are maintained.

Grant County’s public records page also gives a useful reminder that requests must identify the record clearly. That fits booking research well because a request works best when it names the report type, the agency, and the case number if you know it. The county public records page at Grant County Public Records also points out that the county wants identifiable records, and it gives a good example of a sheriff report request. That same approach helps keep Moses Lake Recent Bookings focused on the right arrest file instead of a broad search about a person.

For court follow-up, the city’s records page and the county pages fit together with the Grant County court system. The Grant County Superior Court is in Ephrata, and the district court is in the same building, so court records are a natural next step after the jail status is clear. If you need a broader state search after the city and county trail, the Washington Courts portal and the state records guide can help confirm what remains public and where to look next.

Moses Lake Public Records Process

The city records page says requests should be clear and official, and the police records form supports that with specific fields and a set response path. The city also says it normally responds within five business days under RCW 42.56.520. That matters for recent booking searches because it gives you a time frame for the first answer, even if the full file takes longer. A short, exact request is still the best route.

The city also lists its fee schedule on the public records page, which is useful when you need copies instead of just inspection. Black and white copies are listed at $0.15 per page, scanned copies at $0.10 per page, electronic delivery at $0.05 for each four files plus $0.10 per gigabyte, and police body cam redactions at $0.75 per minute. If the estimate crosses the city’s threshold, the city may ask for a 10 percent deposit before it finishes the work. Those details help you plan the request before you submit it.

That fee and response structure is one more reason to keep Moses Lake Recent Bookings pointed at the exact report you need. If you know the incident date, the location, or the officer response, include it. If you know the record is a police matter, send it to police records. If you need a general city document, use the clerk. The city already separates those tracks, so the request should do the same.
