The Washington Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Washington is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: WATCH lets anyone search conviction records by name online, for $12 a search, through the Washington State Patrol. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it. The search is on the Washington State Patrol site.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in DuPont
The Pierce County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for DuPont (filed by the FBI as Dupont Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around DuPont: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The Auburn Police Department and the Pacific Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Pierce County, so their arrests are not broken out for Pierce County here.
Together, the 18 agencies in Pierce County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 15,004 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in DuPont arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: DuPont in 2025
The agency that reports for DuPont had 12 violent and 67 property crimes reported for 2025; each one is a report on file with it, and each arrest that follows is the start of a criminal record.
