Los Angeles County Jail Inmate Search by Name
The official LASD Inmate Information Center lets you search for anyone currently in Los Angeles County custody. The search accepts a last name and first name. Adding a date of birth narrows results when the name is common; a booking number is the most precise identifier. Use the person's complete legal name as it appeared at booking — not a nickname or shortened form.
How to check the current facility
- 1Submit an inmate inquiry for help locating the person and confirming their current facility.
- 2Enter the person's last name and first name as used at booking.
- 3Add date of birth if the name is common or results are unclear.
- 4The result shows the current housing location code and facility.
- 5Confirm the facility before traveling — housing assignments can change.
Record not appearing? LASD notes that records may not be available for bookings within the last two hours. Booking, screening, and classification can take several hours. Search again later, confirm the legal name spelling, or call 1-800-874-1151.
The LASD Inmate Information Center is the official government records system. This website provides guidance on using it and offers an inquiry form for additional assistance — it does not operate a separate inmate database.

What Happens After an Arrest in Los Angeles County?
After an arrest in Los Angeles County, the person may be processed at an LAPD jail, municipal police jail, LASD sheriff's station, court lockup or county custody facility. The next step depends on the arresting agency, alleged offense, warrants, medical needs, release eligibility and court requirements. A person may be cited and released, released after booking, transported to court, held at a local station or transferred into the Los Angeles County jail system. Many adult male inmates accepted into LASD county custody are processed through the Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street. Women accepted into LASD custody may be processed or housed through Century Regional Detention Facility. Booking can include identity verification, fingerprinting, photographs, warrant checks, medical and mental-health screening, property inventory and classification. Online custody information may not appear until the responsible agency completes applicable processing and publishes the record.
