Inglewood Police Department Custody vs. Los Angeles County Custody
An arrest in Inglewood does not mean the person is currently held in a county facility. After a Inglewood Police Department arrest, a person may be held temporarily at the Inglewood Police Department, released, transported to court, or transferred to a Los Angeles County custody facility. The LASD Inmate Information Center reflects current county custody status. Confirm the current location before making plans.
Why a Recent Arrest May Not Appear Online
Booking and identification paperwork is still being completed.
The person is held locally at Inglewood Police Department and has not yet entered county custody.
A release decision — citation, own recognizance, or bail — is pending.
A transfer to a county facility is in progress.
The record has been entered but the online system has not yet refreshed.
Visiting Someone Arrested in Inglewood
Visiting access depends on where the person is currently held. If they remain at the Inglewood Police Department, contact the department directly for visiting information. If they have been transferred to a Los Angeles County facility, visiting is governed by LASD rules for that specific facility.
- 1
Confirm the current custody location using the LASD Inmate Information Center or by calling the arresting agency.
- 2
Contact the holding facility directly to ask about visiting hours, scheduling, and ID requirements.
- 3
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
- 4
Follow the facility's dress code and arrive on time — late arrivals may not be admitted.
Visiting schedules and rules vary by facility. Always confirm current information directly with the holding facility before traveling.
Bail Information After a Inglewood Arrest
After an arrest in Inglewood, bail may be set based on the charges and the applicable Los Angeles County bail schedule. Bail can be posted at the holding facility or through a licensed bail bond agent.
- Contact the Inglewood Police Department at (310) 412-5210 to ask about a listed bail amount for a recent arrest.
- After arraignment, the court may set, modify, or deny bail based on the charges and the person's history.
- A surety bond (bail bond) typically requires a non-refundable premium of approximately 10% of the total bail amount.
- A cash deposit equal to the full bail amount may be posted directly with the holding facility.
- Confirm any holds or immigration detainers before posting bail — holds may prevent release even after bail is paid.
Cite and Release After a Inglewood Arrest
Not every arrest in Inglewood results in booking into a custody facility. Officers may issue a citation and release the person at the scene or at the station, depending on the charges and circumstances.
| Process | What it means | How to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Field cite and release | Officer issues a citation at the scene and releases the person without booking into custody. | Check the citation for the court date and case number. |
| Station cite and release | Person is taken to the station for processing, then released with a citation rather than booked into custody. | Contact Inglewood Police Department at (310) 412-5210 to confirm. |
| Booking may or may not occur depending on circumstances and applicable law | Some charges require booking; others allow cite and release at officer discretion. | Confirm with the arresting agency or check the citation paperwork. |
| Transfer to county custody | Person is booked and transferred to a Los Angeles County custody facility. | Search the LASD Inmate Information Center after several hours. |
- A cite and release does not mean charges are dropped — a court date is still required.
- If no record appears in the LASD system, the person may have been cited and released locally.
- Contact the arresting agency directly to confirm the outcome of a recent arrest.
