Corona Busted Mugshots Search

Corona busted mugshots are processed through the Riverside County jail system after local arrests. The Corona Police Department makes arrests within city limits, but booking happens at county facilities run by the Riverside County Sheriff. You can search for current inmates and booking photos online for free. Corona sits in the western part of Riverside County near the San Bernardino and Orange County lines. This guide explains where to find busted mugshots for Corona arrests, how to file records requests, and what state tools are available.

Corona Arrests and Riverside County Booking

The Corona Police Department handles arrests in the city. You can reach them at (951) 736-2330. After an arrest, the person is transported to a Riverside County detention facility for booking. The Robert Presley Detention Center in downtown Riverside is the primary intake site. During booking, staff take a mugshot, record fingerprints, and log the charges into the system.

Corona PD has around 170 sworn officers serving the city's 39 square miles. The department handles everything from traffic stops to major crimes. But the jail and booking process falls to the county sheriff. This is standard across most of California. City police make the arrest. County jails handle the rest.

The booking record includes the person's name, date of birth, charges, bail amount, and the mugshot. All of this is public information under California law. You have the right to access it through proper channels.

How to Find Corona Busted Mugshots

Your first stop should be the Riverside County JIMS search. This is the sheriff's public inmate lookup tool. Type a first and last name and hit search. If the person is in custody or was booked recently, you will see their record. The results page shows the booking photo, charges, bail, and facility location. JIMS is free and works from any device with a web browser.

For records of people no longer in custody, JIMS may not show results. In that case, contact the Riverside County Sheriff's Records Bureau. File a California Public Records Act request with the person's name and approximate arrest date. The sheriff must respond within 10 days. You can also contact Corona PD directly for arrest reports. The police department keeps its own records of arrests made by its officers, even though the booking data sits with the county.

The California DOJ maintains a public records request process for state-level criminal history data, including records from Corona and Riverside County agencies.

The DOJ FAQ page answers common questions about how to file CPRA requests and what records the state maintains.

Corona Court Records and Case Information

The Riverside County Superior Court handles criminal cases from Corona. Court records contain information that goes beyond the booking record. You can find out whether charges were filed, what happened at trial, and the sentence if there was a conviction. The court has online case search tools on its website. You need either a case number or the defendant's name to search.

Corona cases are typically heard at the Riverside Hall of Justice or the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta, depending on the type of case and current caseload. Traffic and misdemeanor cases often go to one branch while felonies go to another. Check the court website for the specific division handling your case type. Court records are separate from the sheriff's booking records, but together they give you the full picture of an arrest and its outcome.

State Resources for Corona Arrest Records

The California Department of Justice tracks criminal history data statewide. File a CPRA request through the DOJ public records form for state-held records. If you need your own criminal history, submit Live Scan fingerprints and form BCIA 8016RR with a $25 processing fee. The DOJ response includes records from agencies across California, not just Riverside County.

The CDCR CIRIS tool covers people in state prison only. County jail inmates from Corona do not appear there unless they received a state prison sentence. The Megan's Law site tracks registered sex offenders statewide. Both tools are free to use.

Removing Corona Busted Mugshots

California law provides several paths to clear your record. Penal Code section 851.87 lets you seal an arrest record if no charges were filed, the case was dismissed, or you were acquitted. Sealing makes the mugshot and booking record inaccessible. The Clean Slate Act under SB 731 automates this process for eligible older cases. Contact the Riverside County Superior Court to check your eligibility or file a petition.

Expungement under Penal Code section 1203.4 clears a conviction after you finish probation. It does not automatically seal the arrest record, but it updates the case status. You file the petition with the court that handled the case. For Corona arrests, that is the Riverside County Superior Court. Legal aid groups in the Inland Empire offer free help with these petitions if you meet income guidelines.

SB 1027 bans third-party websites from charging fees to remove mugshots. If a site posts your Corona booking photo and demands payment for removal, that violates California law. Report it to the Attorney General.
