Arrest & Booking Information
After an LAPD Arrest
When LAPD arrests someone, the person is typically transported to an LAPD jail facility for booking. The booking process includes recording personal information, taking fingerprints and photographs, and documenting the charges. After booking, the person may be released, held pending arraignment, or transferred to a county facility.
LAPD Custody vs. County Custody
LAPD operates its own jail facilities for short-term custody. Individuals facing more serious charges or longer detention may be transferred to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department custody at a county jail. The LASD inmate locator covers county custody — contact the LAPD station for information about individuals held in LAPD facilities.
