Los Angeles County Police & Sheriff Agencies
Los Angeles County has multiple law-enforcement agencies that may make an arrest. Identifying the arresting agency and location is a useful first step when looking for custody information.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
LASD provides law enforcement for unincorporated Los Angeles County and contract cities, and operates the Los Angeles County jail system.
Los Angeles Police Department
LAPD serves the City of Los Angeles. The station responsible for a neighborhood or arrest depends on the incident location, so use LAPD's finder when the address or community is known.
Municipal Police Departments
Many incorporated cities operate their own police departments. A person arrested by a municipal department may be held locally, transferred to county custody, released, or taken to court.

LAPD organizes City of Los Angeles policing through geographic bureaus and community police stations. Neighborhood names and ZIP codes do not always match station boundaries, so the LAPD station finder is the best resource for confirming the station for a specific address or community.

Which LAPD Station Serves My Neighborhood?
Use the station search above for selected community examples. For instance, the directory includes Hollywood and East Hollywood under Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles under Central, Boyle Heights under Hollenbeck, Koreatown under Olympic, Venice and Westchester under Pacific, Encino under West Valley, and Woodland Hills and West Hills under Topanga. These examples are not a substitute for LAPD's address-based finder because boundaries can be more specific than a neighborhood name.

An LAPD arrest does not necessarily mean a person will remain at the arresting station. Depending on the custody process, the person may be processed, held, transferred, released, taken to court, or appear in another custody system. Check the available inmate-search and booking resources for current information rather than relying on a station assignment alone.
