Pasadena Booking Records Search

Pasadena 24 hour booking records cover arrests made by the Pasadena Police Department and processed through the Los Angeles County jail system. Pasadena has its own police force and city jail, but people facing serious charges often get transferred to county facilities. To find Pasadena booking data, you can check both the city police records unit and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's booking log. Both options are free and give you access to recent arrest data including names, charges, bail amounts, and booking times. Pasadena processes a steady number of bookings each day, and California law requires this information to be public.

Pasadena Bookings in Los Angeles County

Pasadena is in Los Angeles County, which has the largest jail system in the country. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department operates the county jails and maintains a public booking log. When someone arrested in Pasadena gets transferred to a county facility, their record appears in the LASD system. The booking log is available at app5.lasd.org/bklog and shows recent bookings across all LA County jails.

The LASD booking log portal requires users seeking booking logs for journalistic, scholastic, political, governmental, or investigative purposes to complete and sign a Booking Information Declaration. For general public lookups, the inmate information center at app5.lasd.org/iic lets you search by name to find someone currently in LA County custody. Both tools show the person's booking date, charges, bail amount, and jail location. These cover all LA County facilities, not just Pasadena arrests.

The LASD also has a 24-hour inmate information line at (213) 473-6100. Call any time to ask about someone booked into the LA County jail system after a Pasadena arrest. For records requests, contact LASD Records at (562) 345-4441.

Pasadena Police Arrest Records

The Pasadena Police Department handles its own arrests and keeps its own records. The city has a dedicated public records process for anyone who wants copies of arrest reports or booking information. You can reach Pasadena Police records at (626) 744-4565. The Pasadena Police public records page explains how to submit a request under the California Public Records Act.

Pasadena has a city jail where people are held after arrest. Some people stay there for a short time and then get released. Others get transferred to Los Angeles County jail for longer stays. The booking record at the city level covers the initial arrest details. If the person moves to county custody, a second booking record gets created in the LA County system. That is why checking both sources matters when you search for Pasadena 24 hour booking data.

Pasadena 24 Hour Booking Details

Under Government Code Section 7923.610, California law requires law enforcement to release specific booking information. Pasadena Police and the LA County Sheriff both follow this rule. The mandatory disclosures include the full name of the arrested person, their occupation, a physical description with date of birth, the time and date of both the arrest and booking, where the arrest took place, the circumstances around the arrest, bail amount, and the person's current status.

Pasadena booking records typically show:

• Full name and date of birth
• Date and time of arrest
• All charges at time of booking
• Bail amount set for each charge
• Arresting agency and case number
• Current custody location or release date

This information stays public unless a court orders it sealed. The data appears in the booking system within hours of the arrest.

Access Pasadena Public Booking Records

Booking records are public in Pasadena. You do not need a special reason to look them up. The California Public Records Act protects your right to access this information. The California DOJ public records page outlines the law and your rights. Agencies have 10 days to respond to a formal request, with a possible 14-day extension.

Some records may be restricted. Active investigations can be shielded under Government Code Section 7923.600. And anyone arrested but not convicted can petition to seal their arrest record under Penal Code Section 851.91. Sealed records will not show up in the Pasadena or LA County booking databases. Juvenile records are also kept confidential and never appear in public booking logs.
