Revere Booking Reports
Revere booking reports are kept by the Revere Police Department and the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office. The city sits just north of Boston along the coast, and its police force handles local arrests while the county jail at Nashua Street processes bookings for people held before court. You can search for Revere booking reports through a public records request to the police department, through the Suffolk County inmate locator, or by using the state iCORI system. Each path gives you a different type of record, so the right one depends on what you need and when the arrest took place.
Revere Overview
Revere Police Booking Reports
The Revere Police Department is the main source for booking reports in the city. When someone gets arrested in Revere, the police create a booking report at the station. This report has the person's name, date of birth, charges, arrest time, and the name of the officer who made the arrest. It also includes a physical description and any bail or bond info set at the time of booking. RPD keeps these records at their headquarters.
To get a booking report from the Revere Police Department, you file a public records request. You can do this in writing or by email. Include the full name of the person, the date of the arrest if you know it, and a way for the department to reach you. Under M.G.L. c. 66, sect. 10, the department must respond within 10 business days. The first two hours of staff time are free since Revere has more than 20,000 residents. After that, the rate caps at $25 per hour. Paper copies run $0.05 per page, and electronic copies are free when the records are already in digital form.
| Department | Revere Police Department |
|---|---|
| Address | 400 Revere Beach Parkway Revere, MA 02151 |
| Phone | (781) 284-1212 |
| Hours | Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM |
Walk-in requests work too. Bring a valid photo ID and ask for the records division. Staff can look up cases by name or date and make copies on the spot if the records are on file. Calling ahead saves time.
Revere Arrest Logs and Daily Records
M.G.L. c. 41, sect. 98F requires every police department in Massachusetts to keep a daily log. Revere PD is no exception. The daily log shows all arrests, all crimes reported, and all responses to complaints. It is a public record. You can view it at no charge.
The daily log is not the same as a full booking report. It gives you the basics: the name, the charges, the time, and the location. For the full booking report with intake data and personal details, you still need to go through the formal public records request. But the daily log is a fast way to confirm that an arrest took place in Revere before you spend time and effort on a longer request. Most people start here. It takes just a few minutes to check, and the department cannot charge you for it under state law.
You can ask to see the Revere police daily log at the station during business hours. Some departments post logs online, though Revere's online availability may vary. Call the records division to ask about the best way to view recent arrest log entries for Revere.
Note: Revere police daily logs must be kept for at least one year and are free to view under M.G.L. c. 41, sect. 98F.
Suffolk County Booking Records for Revere
Revere is part of Suffolk County. When someone is arrested in Revere and held before a court date, they go to the Suffolk County jail. The main facility is at 200 Nashua Street in Boston. The booking that happens at the county level creates a separate record from the one Revere PD keeps. So for a full picture, you may need to check both the city police and the county sheriff.
The Suffolk County Sheriff's Department runs the jail and keeps all county booking records. The phone number is 617-635-1000. You can call to ask about a specific booking or send a written request. The county also has an online inmate locator on the sheriff's website. It lets you search by name or booking number and shows current inmates with their charges, booking date, and expected release date. The locator updates daily, so it works best for recent bookings in the Suffolk County system.
The EOPSS publishes arrest statistics that include data from Suffolk County and Revere.
These stats come from the same data that Revere PD and other Suffolk County agencies report to the state each year.
Suffolk County covers four communities: Boston, Revere, Chelsea, and Winthrop. If someone was arrested in Revere but booked at the county jail, the booking report sits with the sheriff's office rather than Revere PD. This is common for more serious charges or when someone is held overnight.
State Systems for Revere Booking Reports
Massachusetts has state-level tools that include Revere booking data. The Department of Criminal Justice Information Services is the main hub. DCJIS collects criminal history data from every police department in the state. That includes Revere PD. When a booking happens in Revere, that data flows into the state system.
The iCORI portal is the public-facing search tool. A personal CORI request costs $25. An open access request costs $50. You register with a government ID and run a name-based search. Results can take up to 10 business days. Under M.G.L. c. 6, sections 167 through 178B, DCJIS controls the level of detail you can see based on who you are and why you are asking. Law enforcement gets the most access. The general public sees less.
The Executive Office of Public Safety and Security tracks arrest numbers at the state level. Their reports include Revere data as part of the Suffolk County totals. The Open Government Guide from the Reporters Committee explains what types of booking records are public in Massachusetts and how to fight a denial if your request gets turned down.
Revere District Court Records
After an arrest in Revere, the case goes to Revere District Court. Court records are different from booking reports, but they overlap. A court docket shows the charges, hearing dates, outcomes, and any bail conditions. If you want to know what happened after the booking, the court record fills in that part of the story.
You can search for Revere court cases through MassCourts, the state's electronic case access system. No registration is needed for basic searches. You can look up cases by name or case number and see docket entries, charges, and scheduled hearings. The system covers all trial courts in Massachusetts, so you can find cases from Revere District Court along with any other court in the state. It does not show the original booking report, but it ties directly to the same arrest.
For more serious cases, Suffolk Superior Court in Boston handles felony matters that start in Revere. Those records are in the same MassCourts system. If a case moves from district to superior court, the docket will show the transfer.
Note: Court dockets for Revere cases are free to search online through MassCourts, though certified copies of documents may have a fee.
Sealed Booking Records in Revere
Booking reports from Revere do not stay public forever in every case. Massachusetts allows people to seal criminal records under M.G.L. c. 276, sections 100A through 100U. If a court grants a sealing petition, the booking report and all related records get pulled from public view. The record still exists, but only law enforcement and a few other groups can see it.
The wait times are set by law. For misdemeanors, it is three years after the case ends. For felonies, it is seven years. You file the petition with the court where the case was heard. If your Revere case went through Revere District Court, that is where you file. Once sealed, the booking report will not show up in an iCORI search or a standard public records request. Expungement goes a step further and removes the record entirely, though it only applies in limited situations under state law.
Revere Booking Report Fees
Fees for booking reports in Revere follow state rules. Paper copies cost $0.05 per page. Electronic copies are free when available. The first two hours of research time are free. After that, the max is $25 per hour. Most requests for a single booking report stay well under the free time cap.
- Paper copies from Revere PD: $0.05 per page
- Electronic copies: free when in digital form
- Research time: first 2 hours free, then $25/hour max
- Personal iCORI request: $25
- Open access iCORI request: $50
If Revere PD denies your request or charges too much, you can appeal to the Supervisor of Records at the Secretary of the Commonwealth's Public Records Division. The appeal is free. The office reviews whether the denial or fee was proper under state law. Most disputes get resolved within a few weeks.
Suffolk County Sheriff Resources for Revere
The Suffolk County Sheriff's Department provides several services tied to the booking process in Revere and across the county. Beyond holding inmates, the sheriff's office manages inmate records, handles bail processing, and runs programs for people in custody. Their site has information on visitation, inmate mail, and how to post bail for someone booked at the county facility.
The Suffolk County Sheriff's website has tools for looking up inmates booked at the Nashua Street Jail and the South Bay House of Correction in Boston.
The inmate lookup tool shows current custody status and is useful for checking on recent Revere bookings that went through the county system.

If someone from Revere is arrested on serious charges and cannot post bail, they end up here until their court date.

Both facilities fall under the same sheriff's office, and booking records from either one are available through the same request process.
