Everett Booking Reports Lookup
Everett booking reports are created by the Everett Police Department and stored at the county level by the Middlesex County Sheriff's Office. Everett is a small city just north of Boston, and its arrest records flow into one of the largest county systems in the state. You can search for Everett booking reports through the police department, the sheriff's office, or the state iCORI portal. The right approach depends on the type of record you need, how recent the arrest was, and whether you want the full booking file or just court case information from Everett District Court.
Everett Overview
Everett Booking Reports and Local Arrests
The Everett Police Department handles all local arrests in the city. When someone is taken into custody, officers bring them to the station for booking. The process creates a detailed record. Staff log the person's full name, date of birth, home address, and a physical description including height, weight, and identifying marks. Fingerprints and mugshots are taken. The charges are listed with the relevant M.G.L. chapter and section. This booking report stays with the Everett Police Department and a copy goes to the county.
Middlesex County is the most populous county in Massachusetts with about 1.6 million residents. The Middlesex County Sheriff's Office oversees county-level custody and records. If someone arrested in Everett cannot make bail, they may be transferred to the Middlesex Jail and House of Correction at 269 Treble Cove Road in North Billerica. A separate county booking record gets created at that point. The sheriff's office does not have an online inmate search portal, so you need to call (781) 960-2800 for inmate information.
Everett District Court handles criminal cases that start with arrests in the city. Court records from these cases are separate from booking reports but often contain related information. Under M.G.L. c. 41, § 98F, the Everett Police Department must maintain a daily log of all arrests and responses to complaints. This log is a public record. You can view it at no charge by visiting the station or contacting the department.

How to Search Everett Booking Reports
The first step is to send a public records request. M.G.L. c. 66, § 10 gives you the right to ask for government records in writing. Send your request to the Everett Police Department's Records Access Officer. State what you need. Include the person's full name, date of birth, and the date of the arrest if you know it. The department must respond within 10 business days. Cities over 20,000 residents provide the first two hours of search time at no cost, and Everett meets that threshold.
For county-level records, contact the Middlesex County Sheriff's Office. Email your request to publicrecords@sdm.state.ma.us or call (781) 960-2800. The sheriff's Legal Division acts as the Records Access Officer for the county. They keep records from the jail and house of correction, which may include Everett booking data if the person was held at the county facility. Fees follow state guidelines: $0.05 per page for copies and up to $25 per hour for search time after the initial free period.
Note: The Middlesex County Sheriff's Office does not have an online inmate lookup tool, so all custody questions must go through the phone line at (781) 960-2800.
State Records Systems for Everett Arrests
The iCORI system is run by the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services and pulls data from every law enforcement agency in the state. That includes the Everett Police Department. A personal CORI check costs $25 and shows your own criminal history. An open access check costs $50 and requires the subject's written consent. You register online with a government-issued ID. Results come back within 10 business days. M.G.L. c. 6, §§ 167 through 178B lays out the rules for who can access CORI records and under what conditions.
The MassCourts electronic case access system covers all trial courts in the state. You can look up cases from Everett District Court by name. The results show charges, hearing dates, bail status, and case disposition. This is free to use and does not require registration. It does not have the actual booking report, but it gives you the court side of any arrest made in Everett.
The Open Government Guide for Massachusetts is a useful reference if an agency denies your request for Everett booking records. It breaks down every exemption in M.G.L. c. 4, § 7(26) and explains when agencies can and cannot withhold records. If your request gets denied, you can appeal to the Supervisor of Records at the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office. The Public Records Division handles those appeals.
What Everett Booking Reports Contain
A booking report from Everett includes the person's full legal name and aliases. Date of birth and home address are in the file. Physical details cover height, weight, race, eye color, and hair color. Any tattoos, scars, or birthmarks are noted. The arrest date, time, and location are logged along with the arresting officer's name and badge number.
Charges appear with their M.G.L. statutory citations. Bail information shows the amount and type set by the court. The booking number is the main identifier used to track the case. A personal property inventory lists what the person had when they were brought to the Everett police station. Fingerprints and booking photographs are attached to the record. All of this is standard across Massachusetts, and Everett follows the same format as every other city in the state.
Some information is restricted. Medical intake data from the booking process is not public. Social Security numbers are always redacted. Juvenile records for anyone under 17 at the time of arrest are sealed by default. Records tied to active investigations can be withheld under the law enforcement exemption in M.G.L. c. 4, § 7(26). If a record has been sealed under M.G.L. c. 276, §§ 100A through 100U, it will not appear in a standard CORI search or in response to a public records request for Everett booking data.
Note: Everett booking photographs are retained for at least 10 years, but electronic copies often remain in the system indefinitely.
Everett Arrest Records Retention Rules
Records retention for Everett booking reports follows state law. Arrest logs are kept permanently. They never expire. Arrest reports stay on file for a minimum of 10 years. Booking photos are held for 10 years after the person is released from custody, though digital systems tend to keep them much longer than that. Fingerprint cards are permanent under M.G.L. c. 66, § 8. The Middlesex County Sheriff's Office keeps its own booking records for at least 20 years at the county jail.
Sealing and expungement rules apply to Everett records the same as anywhere else in the state. Misdemeanor convictions can be sealed three years after the case ends. Felonies need a seven-year wait. Expungement is available in limited cases but requires a court order. A sealed Everett booking record still exists in the system. It just does not show up in standard record searchs or iCORI results. Law enforcement can still access sealed records internally.
