Suisun City, California, in Solano County, has about 30,000 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 Solano. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Suisun City
The FBI lists Suisun City with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Suisun City Police Department. It reported 571 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Solano County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 786 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Solano County: the Highway Patrol's Solano Area Office, the Highway Patrol at Cordelia Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility and the Highway Patrol's Golden Gate Division (state police); Union Pacific Railroad in Solano County (other); California State Polytechnic University at Solano (campus police).
How Many Arrests Suisun City Reports
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Suisun City: 571 for 2025, 601 for 2024, 598 for 2023, 746 for 2022, 967 for 2020 and 696 for 2019; 2021 is missing months.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Suisun City Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Suisun City is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2025 the jail held about 500 people, down from about 740 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 1,435 beds, and it ran at 35 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Solano County Sheriff's Office at solanocounty.gov/government/sheriff-coroner/public-information/jail... (page title: Jail Booking Logs | Solano County, California), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison; the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation lists its inmates at cdcr.ca.gov/search.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Suisun City
Whether someone was arrested in Suisun City, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the Solano County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Superior Court of California, County of Solano, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at portal.solano.courts.ca.gov); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at solanocounty.gov/government/district-attorney, phone 707-784-6800).
California does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the California Department of Justice goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Suisun City
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the California Public Records Act the agency must answer within 10 days, with up to 14 more days in unusual circumstances, and it may charge the direct cost of copying only, not staff time.
