Access the Revere Jail Roster

Revere is in Suffolk County, and anyone arrested in the city and held in custody is detained by the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office. Revere does not have its own jail. The Revere Police Department makes arrests, and Suffolk County handles all detention at either the Nashua Street Jail in Boston or the South Bay House of Correction. This page explains how to search the Revere jail roster through the county system, how to get police records from the city, what the inmate lookup shows, and what to do when county results come up empty.

Revere Police Department

The Revere Police Department is located at 400 Revere Beach Parkway, Revere, MA 02151. Their main phone is (781) 284-8100. The department's page is at revere.org. The department handles all law enforcement in Revere and is responsible for arrests that may result in county detention.

When Revere Police make an arrest and the person is not released, the arrest is processed locally before the person is transferred to Suffolk County custody. The police department retains the arrest report, the incident documentation, and any other records created at the time of the arrest. These do not go to the county with the person. The county keeps its own booking records that are separate from what the police file.

To get an arrest report from Revere Police, submit a written public records request to the department. Under M.G.L. c. 66, § 10, arrest records are public documents and must be provided within ten business days of a proper request. Include the person's name, the date of the incident, and your contact information.

The Revere Police Department website provides department contact information and public resources. Use the site to find the records office contact and guidance on how to submit your request.

Suffolk County Sheriff Inmate Lookup

The Suffolk County Sheriff's Office operates two facilities that hold people arrested in Revere. The Nashua Street Jail is at 200 Nashua Street, Boston. The South Bay House of Correction is also in Boston. The sheriff's main line is (617) 635-1000. You can also reach the inmate services line at (617) 635-1100 extension 3005. The sheriff's website is at suffolkcountysheriff.com.

Use the Suffolk County inmate lookup to search by name. The tool shows current custody status, booking date, charges, bail amount, facility assignment, and next court date. Both Suffolk County facilities pull from the same database, so one search covers both locations. If a search returns no results, call (617) 635-1100 extension 3005 to confirm custody status by phone.

The sheriff's site also covers visiting procedures, phone access, mail rules, and inmate programs. Check those sections if you have a family member in custody and want to know how to maintain contact during their stay.

Note: Suffolk County is a large system with multiple facilities. If you visit without confirming where someone is held, you could end up at the wrong location. Always check the online locator or call ahead to confirm the facility assignment before traveling.

Revere Jail Roster Records

The online inmate lookup gives you current booking information. For more detailed records or historical records, you need to submit a formal request. The Suffolk County Sheriff's Office handles written records requests at 200 Nashua Street, Boston. Call (617) 635-1000 to ask about the preferred submission method and what to include.

Records that typically require a formal request include booking photos, full incident summaries from the jail, and older archived records. The online search covers active and recent custody. Written requests are how you get the rest. Under the Massachusetts Public Records Law, the sheriff's office must respond within ten business days. Fees may apply for large requests or specific formats.

You do not need to state a reason for requesting records. The public records law applies to anyone making a request, and agencies cannot require you to explain your purpose as a condition of providing records.

Court Records for Revere Cases

After an arrest in Revere, the criminal case moves through the court system. District Court cases from Revere are handled in Chelsea District Court. More serious charges go to Suffolk Superior Court in Boston. Both court systems are searchable through MassCourts.

MassCourts shows case filings, docket entries, charge descriptions as entered in the court record, and scheduled hearing dates. It is a public system and does not require a login. This is a different tool than the jail roster. The roster tells you about custody. MassCourts tells you about the case. Checking both together gives you the most complete picture of someone's situation.

State DOC Inmate Records

Suffolk County holds people awaiting trial and those serving sentences of up to two and a half years. Longer sentences mean a transfer to state prison. Once that happens, the person leaves the county roster. The Massachusetts DOC Inmate Search covers state facilities managed by the Department of Correction. If you come up empty on the county search, the DOC database is the next place to check. Between the two systems, you can find almost anyone in custody in Massachusetts.
