Pomona Arrest Records Search

Pomona recent arrest records are searchable through the Los Angeles County Sheriff's inmate information system. The Pomona Police Department handles law enforcement in the city and makes arrests within its jurisdiction. People held after a Pomona arrest are transferred to LA County jail facilities. You can use the LASD's online inmate search to find recent Pomona bookings. Pomona sits in the eastern part of Los Angeles County near the San Bernardino County border. The city runs its own police force and processes a steady number of arrests each week through the county system.

Pomona Arrest Records Online

The LASD Inmate Information Center is the primary tool for looking up Pomona arrest records. Enter the person's first and last name. The system searches the entire LA County jail population. Results show booking numbers, charges, bail, arrest dates, and current housing locations. If someone was arrested by the Pomona Police Department and transferred to county custody, they will show up here.

The LASD Booking Log is another way to check recent bookings across LA County. It covers all agencies that book into the county jail system, including Pomona PD. The booking log is free and available online. For journalistic or research use, you may need to complete a Booking Information Declaration form to access the full data.

Pomona PD also has its own records division. If you need a formal copy of an arrest report from a Pomona incident, contact the department directly. Public records requests follow the California Public Records Act, which gives the department 10 days to respond.

Pomona Booking Procedures

When Pomona police arrest someone, the person is taken to the Pomona Police Department station. Staff record the name, date of birth, charges, and physical description. Fingerprints and a booking photo go into the system. Bail is set using the LA County bail schedule. Some arrests end with a cite and release. The person gets a ticket with a court date and leaves without a jail hold.

For more serious charges, Pomona PD transfers the person to an LA County Sheriff detention facility. The Inmate Reception Center and Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles are common destinations. The Men's Central Jail is another option. Once the transfer is done, the Pomona arrest record appears in the LASD online inmate search. This process can take several hours. If a very recent Pomona arrest does not show up yet, try again later or call the 24-hour inmate line at (213) 473-6100.

Note: The LASD booking system requires both first and last name to search; partial names will not return results.

Pomona Arrest Disclosure Laws

Government Code 7923.610 requires the Pomona Police Department to make arrest information available to the public. The law covers the arrested person's full name, occupation, physical description, arrest and booking dates and times, location of arrest, circumstances, bail amount, release or custody status, and charges. The only reason to withhold details is when it would endanger someone or harm an ongoing investigation. This law took effect on January 1, 2023.

The LA County Sheriff's Department website provides access to the inmate search and booking log tools used for finding Pomona arrest records in the county system.

The LASD Records and ID Bureau FAQ explains how to request copies of arrest records. The bureau is located at 12440 East Imperial Highway, Suite 400 West, Norwalk, CA 90650. Phone: (562) 345-4441. In-person visits are by appointment, Monday through Thursday, 8 AM to 5 PM.

Sealing Pomona Arrest Records

If you were arrested in Pomona and never convicted, California law provides ways to seal that record. Penal Code 851.87 lets you file a petition with the LA County Superior Court. A successful petition seals the arrest. It will not appear on most background checks. You can legally state you were not arrested for the charge.

Automatic arrest relief is also available. AB 1076 directs the DOJ to review records monthly. Eligible misdemeanor arrests from January 2021 or later get sealed when charges are dismissed or no case is filed within a year. No paperwork required. This applies to Pomona arrests processed through LA County the same as any other California city.

Pomona Mugshot Laws

Booking photos taken during Pomona arrests are protected under SB 1027. No website can charge you to remove your mugshot. If they do, you can take legal action and recover at least $1,000 per violation under California Civil Code 1798.91.1. Actual damages, legal fees, and costs may also be awarded by the court.

The LASD and Pomona PD both follow Penal Code 13665, which bans social media posting of booking photos for nonviolent arrests. This applies unless the person is a fugitive, a judge orders it, or there is an urgent public safety need. Routine Pomona arrest mugshots stay off social media under this rule.
