Farmersville, California, in Tulare County, has about 11,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the Superior Court of California, County of Tulare. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Farmersville Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Farmersville and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2025 the jail held about 1,190 people, down from about 1,500 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 1,615 beds, and it ran at 70 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

California does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history.
