Mill Creek Arrest Records: Who Makes Arrests, Where People Are Booked and How to Get the Report

Who Makes Arrests in Mill Creek

The FBI lists Mill Creek with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Mill Creek Police Department. It reported 378 arrests for 2024, its latest complete year. 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 Snohomish County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 3,397 arrests for 2025.

The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Snohomish County: Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force (other).

Booking: Where People Arrested in Mill Creek Are Held

A person kept in custody after an arrest in Mill Creek 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 2023 the jail held about 520 people, down from about 1,010 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 1,244 beds, and it ran at 42 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
