The Fremont Jail, located at 1990 Stevenson Blvd Freemont, CA, serves as the primary law enforcement agency for the community, ensuring public safety through crime prevention, investigation, and emergency response. While the department processes individuals who have been arrested, it does not maintain holding cells for extended detention. After the booking process, which includes fingerprinting, photographing, and processing necessary documentation, arrestees are promptly transferred to a nearby county or regional jail for housing. The department remains committed to upholding the law with professionalism and efficiency while working in coordination with correctional facilities to manage detainee intake and custody transfers For further inmate information, please get in touch with the booking department at 510-790-6703 or click here for the latest arrest records.

The Fremont Detention Facility is a Type-I jail with a rated capacity of 96 prisoners and a total of 54 beds. The facility is responsible for the temporary care and safe custody of persons arrested or detained by the Fremont Police Department prior to arraignment in court or transfer to the Alameda County jail (Santa Rita).
