Find Burbank Busted Mugshots

Burbank busted mugshots get processed through the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department booking system. The Burbank Police Department has its own city jail that handles short-term holding and some misdemeanor bookings. But for felony arrests and longer detention, people are transferred to LASD facilities. Burbank has about 103,500 residents and borders Los Angeles and Glendale. This page covers how to search for busted mugshots from Burbank arrests, including both the city and county record systems you may need to check.

Burbank Busted Mugshots and County Booking

The Burbank Police Department operates a city jail used for temporary holding and some misdemeanor processing. For minor charges, Burbank PD may book someone at the city jail, take a mugshot, and release them with a citation. These mugshots stay in the city's system. For felony arrests and cases where the person needs to be held longer, they get transferred to LASD custody. The county booking process takes a separate mugshot that goes into the LASD database.

See our Los Angeles County busted mugshots page for details on the county system. Burbank is in the eastern San Fernando Valley, right next to Glendale and north of Los Angeles. The city has about 150 sworn officers. Because Burbank has both a city jail and county booking, mugshots from Burbank arrests could be in either system depending on the charge. For felonies, check the LASD database. For misdemeanors that were processed at the city jail, contact Burbank PD at (818) 238-3000.

This dual setup makes Burbank a bit different from cities that only use the county for all bookings.

How to Search Burbank Busted Mugshots

Start with the LASD Inmate Information Center. This free online tool covers anyone currently in LASD custody. Enter a name, pass the CAPTCHA, and check results. Each listing includes the booking photo, charges, bail amount, and facility. For felony bookings from Burbank, this is where the mugshot will be. The tool updates throughout the day as new bookings and releases happen in the county system.

The California DOJ offers a request form for public records that covers state-held criminal history and other government documents.

Submit a request through this form if you need records that go beyond the county level.

For misdemeanor bookings processed at the Burbank city jail, the LASD search may not have the record. Contact Burbank PD at (818) 238-3000 for city-level booking records. For anyone released from LASD custody, you need a public records request through the LASD public records page. Provide the person's name and approximate arrest date. LASD has 10 days to respond. Between the two agencies, you should be able to locate the mugshot from any Burbank arrest.

Public Records for Burbank Arrest Data

Both Burbank PD and LASD are subject to the CPRA. For county booking records and mugshots, direct your request to LASD. For city jail bookings and police reports from Burbank PD, contact the city department. Each agency handles its own records separately. A single arrest in Burbank could generate records at both levels, so knowing which agency has what you need is important for getting a timely response.

The California DOJ provides another option for broader searches. The DOJ PRA page outlines what state records are available and how to request them. For a full personal criminal history, Live Scan fingerprinting with a $25 fee through the DOJ produces a statewide report. This covers Burbank arrests and arrests from anywhere else in California. The DOJ process takes longer, but it captures the big picture across all jurisdictions.

Removing Burbank Busted Mugshots

California's SB 1027 bans websites from charging to remove booking photos. If a third-party site posts your Burbank mugshot and demands payment, that violates state law. Report them to the Attorney General.

For the arrest record itself, Penal Code section 851.87 allows sealing of arrests that did not result in conviction. This works for cases where charges were dropped, never filed, or ended in acquittal. SB 731 automates sealing for certain qualifying arrests. Misdemeanors seal after one year without charges. Felonies seal after three years. Expungement under Penal Code section 1203.4 covers convictions. File petitions with the Los Angeles Superior Court for Burbank cases. Legal aid organizations in the area may be able to help with the filings if you qualify. Sealing the record makes the mugshot inaccessible through public channels. It is the most complete way to remove a Burbank booking photo from public view.

State Tools for Burbank Mugshot Records

The CDCR CIRIS tool is for California state prison inmates. County jail detainees from Burbank are not in this system. But someone from Burbank who was convicted and sentenced to state prison would show up in CIRIS after transfer. It covers a separate population from the LASD inmate search and does not overlap with city jail records either.

The DOJ record review page allows individuals to examine their own criminal history held at the state level and dispute any errors. If a Burbank arrest is recorded incorrectly, the DOJ will investigate the dispute with the reporting agency and make corrections if needed. This process is for accuracy only. It does not seal or expunge any records. It simply fixes mistakes in the data that the state has on file about your criminal history.
