Inglewood Recent Arrest Records

Inglewood recent arrest records flow through Los Angeles County. The Inglewood Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency in the city. Officers make arrests and handle investigations. But all jail bookings go through the LA County Sheriff's facilities. Once a person is booked, their record appears in the county's online inmate database. You can search it for free at any time. Inglewood is in the southwest part of LA County, and its arrests enter the same system used by dozens of other cities. This page explains the search tools, the laws, and how Inglewood fits into the county process.

How Inglewood Arrests Enter the County System

Inglewood Police Department officers patrol the city and arrest people suspected of crimes. After the arrest, the person is transported to an LA County jail for booking. The county sheriff runs all jail facilities. Men's Central Jail at 441 Bauchet Street and Twin Towers Correctional Facility at 450 Bauchet Street in downtown Los Angeles are common booking locations. Women are taken to Century Regional Detention Facility at 11705 S. Alameda Street in Lynwood. The Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street handles intake processing.

The booking record shows Inglewood PD as the arresting agency. This is how you identify Inglewood arrests in the county database. The record also includes the person's charges, bail amount, booking date, and where they are being held. Once someone is booked, they are in the county system regardless of which city made the arrest.

Searching Inglewood Recent Arrest Records

The LA County Inmate Information Center is the primary search tool. Enter a first and last name. Complete the reCAPTCHA step. The results will show anyone in LA County custody matching that name. Each result shows the booking number, arrest date, arresting agency, charges, bail, housing location, and next court date. The tool is free and works at any hour.

You can also use the LA County booking log for recent entries. The booking log may require you to sign a Booking Information Declaration if you are using it for journalistic, academic, or government research. The regular inmate search does not need this extra form. For phone inquiries, the 24-hour inmate information line is (213) 473-6100.

Note: The online inmate search only shows people currently in jail, not those who have already been released.

Inglewood Arrest Record Disclosure

California's Government Code 7923.610 requires law enforcement agencies to disclose specific arrest details. The Inglewood Police Department must share the arrested person's full name, occupation, physical description, date of birth, arrest and booking times, arrest location, circumstances, bail, release status, and all charges. This includes warrants, parole holds, and probation holds. The law applies equally to the LA County Sheriff.

The CDCR inmate search database is shown here. This state resource lets you look up people in California state prison.

For Inglewood arrests where the person is in county jail, use the LA County inmate search. The CDCR tool only covers state prison.

Disclosure exceptions are limited. An agency can withhold a detail if it would put someone at risk or damage an active investigation. Outside those situations, the arrest information is public record. This law has been in effect since January 1, 2023.

Sealing an Inglewood Arrest Record

Not every arrest leads to a conviction. When it does not, California offers ways to seal the record. Penal Code 851.87 allows a person to petition the court to seal an Inglewood arrest that did not result in conviction. The petition goes to Los Angeles County Superior Court. If granted, the arrest record is sealed from most background checks and the person can legally deny being arrested for that charge.

Automatic relief is also an option. Under AB 1076, the California DOJ reviews records monthly and automatically clears qualifying arrests. Dismissed misdemeanor charges from January 2021 onward are eligible. So are misdemeanor arrests where no charges were filed within a year. The DOJ handles this without any application from the person. It covers Inglewood arrests meeting these conditions.

State Resources for Inglewood Arrest Lookups

The California DOJ record review program lets you get a copy of your own criminal history. Submit fingerprints through Live Scan and pay the $25 fee. You can apply for a fee waiver. The DOJ returns your full record covering Inglewood and every other jurisdiction in California. This is not a tool for looking up other people. It is strictly for checking your own history.

The CDCR Incarcerated Records and Information Search is for state prison inmates. Search by name or CDCR number. Results include current facility, admission date, and parole hearing information. This system does not cover LA County jail inmates. For current Inglewood jail bookings, the county's online tools are the right choice.

The Records and Identification Bureau handles formal records requests for LA County. The office is at 12440 East Imperial Highway, Suite 400 West, Norwalk, CA 90650. Call (562) 345-4441. They operate Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., by appointment only.

Note: Allow several weeks for DOJ record review results to arrive after submitting your fingerprints.
