Glendale Inmate Records Search

Glendale bookings and releases are handled by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. When someone is arrested in Glendale, they are transported to one of the many Los Angeles County jail facilities for booking and processing. The county jail system is the largest in the nation, with multiple detention centers spread across the region. Glendale arrestees may be booked at Twin Towers Correctional Facility, Men's Central Jail, or other facilities. The Los Angeles County Sheriff provides a public inmate information center online where you can search for current and recent bookings. The system shows names, booking numbers, charges, bail amounts, and jail locations. All data is free and updates throughout each day.

Los Angeles County Jail System

Glendale does not run its own jail. All bookings go to Los Angeles County facilities. The county operates several major jails in the region. Twin Towers Correctional Facility is in downtown Los Angeles and holds thousands of inmates. Men's Central Jail is next door. Century Regional Detention Facility is in Lynwood and houses female inmates. North County Correctional Facility is in Castaic. Glendale arrestees may be taken to any of these jails based on bed space and case type.

The sheriff runs an online inmate information center at app5.lasd.org/iic. You search by name or booking number. The tool returns results from all county jails at once. You see the inmate's full name, booking number, date of arrest, charges, bail, and current location. If the person is moved to a different jail, the system updates to show the new facility. This makes it easy to track someone arrested in Glendale even if they get transferred later.

Public access to booking info follows Government Code 7923.610. This law requires disclosure of basic arrest facts like name, date, charges, and bail. The inmate information center meets that requirement for Glendale bookings. Some names may not appear if an active investigation is at risk or officer safety is a concern, but most arrests show up within hours of booking.

Note: The inmate information center updates many times daily, but there can be a short lag between a Glendale arrest and when it appears online.

Searching for Glendale Bookings

To find a Glendale booking, go to the Los Angeles County inmate information center. Enter a first and last name or a booking number. The system searches all jails and returns matching results. You see each person's name, age, booking date, charges, bail, and which jail holds them. If many people share the same name, the list includes all of them. You pick the right one based on age or arrest date.

The booking log at app5.lasd.org/bklog shows every new booking processed in Los Angeles County. This log updates throughout the day. You can scroll through it to see recent Glendale arrests mixed in with arrests from across the county. The log does not filter by city, so you see all bookings in one long list. Each entry shows name, booking number, date, and charges. You click on a name to get more details in the inmate information center.

Ways to search for Glendale bookings:

• Use first and last name in the inmate information center
• Enter booking number if you have it from a prior lookup or court document
• Browse the daily booking log for recent Glendale arrests
• Call the jail at (213) 473-6100 to verify custody status

Some records may not appear if an investigation is ongoing. Under Government Code 6254(f), law enforcement can withhold info that would risk officer safety or harm a case. This is rare but can happen in sensitive Glendale arrests. Most bookings show up within a few hours of processing at the jail.

Glendale Police Department Records

If Glendale Police made the arrest, you request the arrest report from the city police department. Glendale PD has its own records division. They handle requests for incident reports, traffic reports, and arrest reports generated by city officers. The county sheriff provides reports only for sheriff arrests or cases in unincorporated areas outside city limits.

You can request a Glendale PD report by mail, phone, or in person. The police department is at 131 North Isabel Street in Glendale. There is a fee for copies based on how many pages you need. Some reports are not released if the case is open or involves a minor. For questions about getting a Glendale arrest report from the police, call (818) 548-4840 or visit glendaleca.gov for contact info and hours.

Glendale PD works with the county jail system. When city officers arrest someone in Glendale, they book the person at a county jail. The booking appears on the sheriff inmate search. But the arrest report is kept by Glendale PD. So you use different agencies depending on what record you need for a Glendale case.

Bail and Release Procedures

When someone is booked in Glendale, bail is set based on a county bail schedule or a judge's order. The inmate information center shows the bail amount for each charge. If bail is posted, the person is released within hours of payment. If no bail is set, they may stay in jail until a court date. Some charges allow release on own recognizance, which means no money is required. You post bail at the jail where the person is held. Each facility accepts bail 24 hours a day. You can pay with cash, cashier's check, or money order. Many people use a bail bond company. The bonding company posts the full amount and charges a fee, usually 10 percent of the bail.

Once bail is posted for a Glendale booking, the inmate goes through a release process that can take several hours. The inmate search updates to show the release date and time. For questions about bail or release, call the jail directly. The main number for Los Angeles County jails is (213) 473-6100. Staff can tell you if bail was posted and when the person will get out. They cannot give legal advice or tell you whether to post bail in a Glendale case.

VINE Custody Notifications

Los Angeles County participates in VINE. VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. It alerts you when an inmate is released. You register at vinelink.com or call 1-877-411-5588. You need the inmate name or booking number. Once you sign up, you get a call or email when the person leaves custody.

VINE is free. It works for all Los Angeles County jails. Crime victims use it to know when someone gets out. Family members also use it to track release dates for a Glendale booking. The system updates in real time, so you get alerts as soon as the jail processes the release. You can also use VINE to check current custody status without waiting for an alert. Just call the toll-free number and enter the inmate info. The system tells you if the person is still in jail or has been released.

Requesting Sheriff Records

For detailed arrest records from the Los Angeles County Sheriff, you submit a public records request. The sheriff records FAQ page at lasd.org/records-faq explains how to request reports and booking documents. You can request records online, by mail, or in person at the sheriff stations. There is a fee for copies based on the number of pages. Most requests are processed within 10 days as required by the California Public Records Act.

The sheriff also posts transparency data on arrests and bookings. While this does not replace the full inmate locator, it gives context on public safety trends in Glendale and the rest of the county. For specific booking info, the inmate information center remains the main tool for Glendale searches.
