Plano Booking Reports
Plano booking reports are handled by the Plano Police Department, which processes arrests made within city limits, and by the Collin County Sheriff's Office, which maintains the county jail where most detained individuals are held. Plano is in Collin County, one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas. Police records from Plano must be requested directly from the Plano Police Department, since Collin County does not maintain city police reports. For county-level booking and inmate data, contact the Collin County Sheriff's Office or search through the county's public records portal.
Plano Overview
Plano Police Department Records
The Plano Police Department is located at 909 East 15th Street, Plano, TX 75074. The mailing address for records requests is P.O. Box 860358, Plano, TX 75086-0358. The non-emergency line is 972-424-5678. The Records section can be reached at 972-941-7497, and the main department line is 972-941-7000.

One important fact about Plano records: Collin County does not maintain police reports or accident reports for cities in the county. If you need a police report tied to a Plano arrest, you must go to Plano PD directly. The county handles court records and jail records, but city police reports stay with the city's department. This is a common point of confusion for people requesting records in the north Texas suburbs.

Collin County and Plano Arrest Records
Plano is the largest city in Collin County, and arrests made by Plano PD that result in county-level charges end up at the Collin County jail. The county maintains an inmate search tool that lets you look up people currently in custody. Collin County also has a public records portal for county-level documents at collincountytx.gov. For police reports specific to Plano, you go to Plano PD. For jail records and inmate status, you go to Collin County Sheriff.
The Collin County Online Judicial Search application provides access to court case information for people arrested in Plano and other cities in the county. If an arrest resulted in criminal charges filed in Collin County courts, the case can be tracked through that system. Court records include case filing dates, hearing schedules, and case dispositions, which are separate from the booking record itself but tied to the same arrest.
Standard Texas Public Information Act procedures apply to both Plano PD and Collin County. Under Government Code Chapter 552, both agencies must respond within 10 business days. Accident reports cost $6.00. Standard paper copies of police reports cost $0.10 per page. Certified copies carry an additional fee. Fee schedules are consistent with Texas law across both agencies.
Note: Plano PD is at 909 E. 15th Street, not to be confused with an older address. Call 972-941-7497 to confirm current records procedures before submitting a large or complex request, as requirements can change.
What Plano Booking Reports Include
Plano arrest records from the police department cover the incident-level details of an arrest. This includes the date and time of arrest, the name and description of the person arrested, the charges filed, and the case number. The arresting officer's information may also appear. If the arrest involved a vehicle, a separate accident or incident report may be generated as part of the same case file.
Collin County booking records cover the detention side of the process. Once a person is transferred to the county jail, the Sheriff's Office creates a booking record that shows the booking date, booking number, facility, bond information, and the person's physical description. This is a different document from the police report and is held by a different office. You need both if you want a full picture of what happened from arrest through detention.
For statewide criminal history, the Texas Department of Public Safety's Crime Records Division holds records for all arrests in Texas. A DPS background check covers Plano and every other city in the state. That is the right tool if you need to know someone's full arrest history rather than a single incident from Plano. Local Plano and Collin County records only cover what happened in their jurisdiction.
Texas law under the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 66 governs how criminal history records are maintained and who can access them. Both Plano PD and Collin County Sheriff comply with state requirements for record keeping and public access. Basic booking data is public unless a specific exemption applies.
Collin County Booking Records
