Search Glendale Booking Records

Glendale 24 hour booking records document arrests made in this Los Angeles County city that sits just north of downtown LA. Glendale stands out because the police department publishes daily booking logs as PDF files on the city website. You also have the Los Angeles County Sheriff's booking log for county jail records. Between these two sources, you can track Glendale booking data from arrest through jail intake. This page covers how to use both systems, what information shows up in Glendale booking records, and where to go for older or more detailed arrest data.

Glendale Daily Booking Logs

The Glendale Police Department is one of the few city agencies in California that publishes daily booking logs directly on its website. You can find these PDF reports on the Glendale PD crime statistics and booking logs page. The logs are posted as PDF files that cover each day's booking activity. This gives you a detailed look at who was arrested and booked by Glendale Police.

These daily logs are a strong resource. Most cities in California do not post this kind of data. The Glendale booking logs include the names, charges, and booking times for people processed by the department. They get updated regularly so that the most recent arrest data is available. You can download the PDFs and search through them to find specific Glendale booking records. The records are free to access and available to anyone.

Glendale Police records can be reached at (818) 548-3135 for questions about the daily booking logs or to request copies of specific arrest reports. Staff there can point you to the right log file if you know the approximate date of the Glendale arrest you are looking for.

Glendale Bookings in Los Angeles County

Glendale is in Los Angeles County. The LA County Sheriff's Department runs the county jail system. When a Glendale arrest leads to someone being held in a county jail rather than a city facility, the booking shows up in the LASD system. The LASD booking log is available at app5.lasd.org/bklog. You need to fill out a Booking Information Declaration for access to the log, which is meant for journalistic, research, governmental, or investigative purposes.

The LASD also runs an Inmate Information Center where you can search for anyone currently in custody at an LA County jail. The main number for inmate information is (213) 473-6100, and it runs 24 hours a day. LASD Records can be reached at (562) 345-4441 for formal requests. The records office is at 12440 East Imperial Highway, Suite 400, in Norwalk.

Not all Glendale arrests go to the county jail. Some may be processed at the Glendale city jail and released before transfer. In those cases, the Glendale PD daily booking log would have the record, but the LASD system might not. That is why checking both sources matters.

Glendale Booking Record Information

California law under Government Code Section 7923.610 requires specific booking data to be released. For Glendale bookings, this includes the full name and occupation of the arrested person. Their physical description with date of birth, height, weight, sex, and eye and hair color is included. The time and date of the arrest and the time and date of booking are both part of the record. So is the location of the arrest within Glendale.

Charges filed at the time of booking show up along with bail amounts. The record notes the current status of the person, whether they are still in custody, have been released, or are being held on additional warrants. The arresting agency is listed too. For Glendale bookings, this will show Glendale PD. If the person was arrested by another agency within Glendale city limits, that agency's name would appear instead.

Under Government Code Section 7923.615, additional details about complaints and incidents may also be disclosed. This includes the date and time of the incident, the nature of the response, and a general description of any injuries or property involved.

Glendale Public Records Access

Glendale booking records are public under California law. The California Public Records Act gives you the right to access these records no matter who you are. You do not need to give a reason for your request. The California DOJ has information about the act and your rights on their website.

For older records that have fallen off the daily booking logs, you can file a formal public records request. Send it to Glendale PD for the arrest report and to LASD for the jail booking record. Each agency has 10 days to respond under the act, with a possible 14-day extension. Copy fees at the state level are 10 cents per page. Glendale PD and LASD may have their own fee schedules.

Records can be sealed. Under Penal Code Section 851.91, someone arrested in Glendale but not convicted can petition to have the arrest record sealed. Sealed records are removed from public databases and will not show up in either the Glendale PD logs or the LASD system.

Note: The daily Glendale booking PDFs cover only recent days. For anything older, a written records request is needed.
