Inglewood Busted Mugshots Search

Inglewood busted mugshots are processed through the Los Angeles County booking system. The Inglewood Police Department patrols the city, but arrested people get booked at LASD jail facilities. The mugshot is taken during county intake. Inglewood has about 103,000 residents and is located southwest of downtown Los Angeles. The city has seen significant growth in recent years. This page explains how to search for busted mugshots from Inglewood arrests, what tools are available, and how to get records through public records requests.

Inglewood Busted Mugshots and County Jails

The Inglewood Police Department handles law enforcement within the city. Officers make arrests and file reports. But Inglewood PD does not run a long-term jail. Booking for most arrests takes place at an LASD facility. The mugshot is recorded at the county jail during the intake process and stored in the LASD database. This arrangement is standard across LA County.

Our Los Angeles County busted mugshots page has the full details on the county system. Inglewood is in the southwestern part of LA County, near Hawthorne, Lennox, and the city of Los Angeles. The Inglewood PD is a mid-size department that responds to a range of calls. For major cases and felony arrests, the booking always goes through LASD. Some misdemeanor processing may happen at the city level before the person is released. You can reach Inglewood PD at (310) 412-5211 for questions about specific arrests or police reports.

The booking record from LASD and the arrest report from Inglewood PD are separate documents.

How to Find Inglewood Busted Mugshots

The LASD Inmate Information Center is the main search tool. It is free and covers all current inmates in the LA County jail system. Enter the person's name, solve the CAPTCHA, and check the results. Each entry shows the mugshot, charges, bail, and facility. If someone from Inglewood was booked into the county system and has not been released, they will show up in this search.

For people no longer in custody, the live search will not show them. Submit a public records request to LASD through their transparency page. Include the person's name and approximate arrest date. They have 10 days to respond under the California Public Records Act. For Inglewood PD arrest reports, contact the department at (310) 412-5211. The police report covers the incident details, while the LASD booking record has the mugshot and jail intake information.

Public Records for Inglewood Arrest Records

Under the CPRA, both Inglewood PD and LASD must respond to records requests. For mugshots from county bookings, LASD is the agency to contact. For police reports generated by Inglewood officers, the city department holds those records. Knowing which agency has the record you need makes the process faster. If you are unsure about the charge level, try LASD first since they handle the bulk of formal bookings from Inglewood arrests.

The California DOJ holds statewide criminal history data. The DOJ request form lets you submit a CPRA request for state-level records. For your own criminal history, submit Live Scan fingerprints with a $25 fee for a complete California report. This includes Inglewood arrests and arrests from any other jurisdiction in the state. The DOJ process is more time-consuming but covers a wider range of records than going to a single county agency. It makes sense when you need a comprehensive view.

Removing Inglewood Busted Mugshots

SB 1027 stops websites from charging for mugshot removal. Any site that asks for money to take down an Inglewood booking photo is violating California law. You can report them to the AG.

For the arrest record, Penal Code section 851.87 lets you petition to seal an arrest where charges were not filed, were dismissed, or you were acquitted. SB 731 provides automatic sealing for some qualifying arrests. Misdemeanor arrests without charges seal after one year. Felony arrests seal after three years if no charges were brought. Expungement under Penal Code section 1203.4 addresses convictions and is a separate process. File petitions for Inglewood cases with the Los Angeles Superior Court. Several legal aid organizations serve the Inglewood area and can help with these filings if you meet their eligibility requirements. Getting the record sealed is the strongest way to remove a mugshot from public access because it addresses the source record directly.

Each legal option has different requirements. Check which path fits your case.

State Resources for Inglewood Mugshots

The CDCR CIRIS search is only for state prison inmates. Inglewood bookings at the county level are not in CIRIS. But if someone from Inglewood received a state prison sentence, they will appear in the CIRIS database after being transferred from county custody. This tool covers an entirely different population than the LASD inmate search.

The DOJ record review process is for checking your own criminal history held at the state level. If an Inglewood arrest appears with errors on your state record, you can dispute it. The DOJ coordinates with the agency that reported the information to verify and correct it. This is separate from sealing or expungement. Record review is only about fixing wrong information in the database. The process can take time, but it ensures that your state criminal history is accurate.
