Pasadena Recent Arrest Records

Pasadena recent arrests get processed through the Los Angeles County jail system after the Pasadena Police Department makes the initial arrest. The city has its own police force that patrols Pasadena and handles local law enforcement. Once someone is arrested and booked, they enter the county custody system. Searching for recent arrests in Pasadena is free through the LA County Sheriff's inmate search tool. You enter a name and get back booking details, charges, bail, and facility information. Pasadena also has its own city jail for short-term holds, but longer custody goes through the county.

Pasadena Arrests Through LA County Jails

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department runs the jail system that handles Pasadena bookings. After a Pasadena PD arrest, the person moves into county custody. The main jail facilities include Men's Central Jail at 441 Bauchet Street in Los Angeles and Twin Towers Correctional Facility at 450 Bauchet Street. Women go to Century Regional Detention Facility at 11705 S. Alameda Street in Lynwood. Which facility someone ends up at depends on space, the charges, and their classification. The Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street handles the intake process.

The LA County Inmate Information Center is where you search for people arrested in Pasadena. Type in the first and last name. Complete the reCAPTCHA verification. The results page shows the booking number, arrest date, arresting agency, bail amount, current housing location, and next court date. Pasadena PD will be listed as the arresting agency for local arrests. The search is free and available at any time.

You can also check the LA County booking log for a broader view of recent bookings. Access to this tool requires a Booking Information Declaration for certain users. The regular inmate search has no such requirement.

Pasadena Police Department Records

Pasadena PD keeps the arrest reports for cases handled by its officers. The department headquarters is at 207 North Garfield Avenue in Pasadena, CA 91101. The records division processes report requests. Call (626) 744-4501 to reach the department. For specific questions about records, ask to be connected to the records section.

Arrest reports from Pasadena PD contain the details of the arrest that go beyond what the county inmate search shows. The county search gives you booking data. The arrest report from the police department gives you the officer's narrative, the circumstances of the incident, and more detail about what happened. Under Government Code 7923.610, basic arrest information must be released. But investigative details can be withheld under the law enforcement exemption if they would harm an ongoing investigation.

Note: Walk-in availability may be limited, so calling ahead is a good idea before visiting the records window.

Pasadena Arrest Record Sealing

An arrest in Pasadena that did not lead to a conviction may be eligible for sealing. Penal Code 851.87 lets individuals petition the court to seal arrest records where no conviction occurred. You file the petition with the Los Angeles County Superior Court. If the judge grants it, the arrest record becomes sealed. Most background checks will not reveal it. You can legally say you were not arrested for that charge.

The CDCR CIRIS database below is a state tool that can help you look up individuals serving prison sentences after a Pasadena arrest.

The CIRIS system from CDCR covers state prison inmates only. Someone sentenced to state prison after an arrest in Pasadena would appear here. County jail inmates are in the LA County inmate search instead. You can search CIRIS by name or CDCR number. Results include the inmate's location, admission date, and parole hearing information.

California's automatic relief program under AB 1076 also helps. The DOJ reviews records monthly. Qualifying misdemeanor arrests from January 2021 forward get cleared without any petition. Dismissed charges qualify. So do arrests where no case was filed within 12 months. People arrested in Pasadena who meet these criteria get the benefit automatically.
