Revere Police 72 Hour Booking Process

The Revere Police Department is located at 400 Revere Beach Parkway, Revere, MA 02151. The main number is (781) 284-1212. Email police@revere.org for records inquiries. When officers arrest someone in Revere, they bring the person back to this station for the 72 hour booking. The process includes logging the person's identity, recording the charges, taking fingerprints, and capturing a booking photo.

After booking at the Revere station, several things can happen. If the charges are minor and bail is set low, the person might post bail and leave. For more serious offenses, Revere police transfer the person to the Suffolk County House of Correction in Boston. The Suffolk County Sheriff's Department takes over custody at that point. Either way, a booking record is created at the Revere police station. That record stays on file and can be requested later.

The 72 hour booking timeline is important. Under M.G.L. c. 276, § 12, the person must see a judge within 72 hours of arrest. Revere cases usually go to Chelsea District Court for arraignment. If the court cannot schedule the hearing in time, the person has to be released. This rule protects against holding someone without charges for too long.

Revere Bookings Under State Law

Probable cause is enough for a felony arrest. Once the arrest is made, Revere police must complete the booking and get the person before a judge within 72 hours. The arraignment usually happens at Chelsea District Court.

Public records requests for Revere booking data fall under M.G.L. c. 66, § 10. The law requires all government agencies to provide records unless a specific exemption applies. Criminal booking records are generally public. Exceptions include juvenile records, sealed cases, and records under active investigation where release could compromise the case. The state records request portal handles requests at the state level if you need broader data beyond what Revere police hold.

Revere CORI and Statewide Records

Revere 72 hour booking data feeds into the Massachusetts CORI system run by the Criminal History Systems Board. You can pull your own CORI report for $25 through iCORI.

The VINELink system tracks inmates in custody across Massachusetts. If someone arrested in Revere ends up in the Suffolk County jail or state prison, VINELink can give you custody status and release alerts. It is a free tool. Coverage depends on the facility.

Mental health holds are a separate category. Under M.G.L. c. 123, § 12, a person can be held at a psychiatric facility for up to 72 hours. These Section 12 holds are not criminal bookings. The records are medical and private. Under M.G.L. c. 4, § 7(26), medical records are exempt from public disclosure in Massachusetts. You cannot get Section 12 records through a Revere public records request.

Note: Section 12 mental health hold records are never part of the public arrest log in Revere.
