Burbank Daily Arrest Logs and Booking Information
The Burbank Police Department publishes daily arrest logs covering the previous 30 days on its official website. These logs list individuals arrested by Burbank officers and include the date, time, charges and booking information available at the time of publication. An arrest-log entry and a current custody record answer different questions. Someone listed in an arrest log may have been released on bail, released on their own recognizance, taken to court, transferred to another facility or remain in local custody. Checking the arrest log confirms that an arrest occurred; it does not confirm current custody status.

The Burbank Police Department operates a Type I jail facility used for booking and temporary detention following an arrest. A Type I facility is authorized to hold individuals for up to 96 hours pending arraignment. Not every person arrested in Burbank will remain at the Burbank Police Jail. Depending on the charges, court schedule, available space and other factors, a person may be transferred to a Los Angeles County facility or released before the 96-hour window expires.
Burbank Jail or Los Angeles County Jail?
A person arrested in Burbank may end up in more than one location depending on the circumstances of the arrest and the charges involved.

- Be taken directly to court

Burbank Jail Visiting, Property and Release Questions
Visiting hours, telephone account setup, property release procedures and release information all depend on the person's current facility and custody status. If the person remains at the Burbank Police Jail, contact the jail directly at (818) 238-3010 for current visiting availability. If the person has been transferred to an LASD facility, visiting must be scheduled through the LASD system. Unverified visiting schedules are not published here because hours and procedures change without notice.
Burbank Court and Criminal Case Information
Custody information and court case information are maintained in separate systems and may update at different times. A person may be released from custody while a court case remains open, or may remain in custody after a court date has been scheduled. Criminal case information for arrests in Burbank is handled by the Los Angeles Superior Court. Case status, court dates and case numbers can be checked through the court's online case access system or by contacting the court clerk directly.
What If the Person Does Not Appear in an Inmate Search?
If a search returns no results, several explanations are possible.
- Booking is still being processed — intake, identification, medical screening and classification take time
- The name or date of birth was entered differently than it appears in the booking record
- The person remains in a municipal jail that does not report to the county system in real time
- The person was released before a record was published online
- The person was transferred and the receiving facility has not yet updated the record
- The arrest was handled by another agency such as CHP, LAPD or a transit authority
- The record has not yet propagated to the county search system — LAPD notes that records may not be available for bookings within the most recent two hours
