How Albany Arrests Reach the Jail Roster
Albany sits in two counties. Most of the city is in Linn County. A small part extends into Benton County. When Albany Police make an arrest, the person goes to Linn County Jail. This is the main booking site for all Albany arrests. The city does not have its own jail.
At the jail, staff complete the booking process. They take photos, record personal data, and log each charge. Once booked, the person shows up on the Linn County jail roster. The roster is a public list that anyone can view. Each entry shows the person's name, charges, booking date, and the agency that made the arrest. Look for Albany Police to find city arrests.
Some people are released soon after booking. Others stay in jail until their court date. The Linn County current inmates list updates several times per day. This means new Albany bookings appear on the roster within a few hours. If you check and do not find someone, try again later that day.
Note: Albany spans Linn and Benton Counties, but the Linn County Jail handles nearly all Albany Police bookings.
