Access Menifee Busted Mugshots

Menifee busted mugshots are held in the Riverside County Sheriff's booking system. Menifee is one of California's newest cities, having incorporated in 2008. The city contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff for all police services. Every arrest in Menifee goes through the county jail system, and the booking records are public. You can search current inmates for free online or file a formal request for past records. This page explains each step of the process for finding Menifee busted mugshots.

Menifee Arrests and Riverside County Booking

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department runs the Perris Station, which covers Menifee. The station is located at 137 North Perris Boulevard in Perris. Deputies assigned to the Menifee area patrol the city and make arrests. When someone is arrested, they are booked at a Riverside County detention facility. The Southwest Detention Center in French Valley or the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside handles most of these bookings.

The booking process creates a record that includes the person's mugshot, fingerprints, charges, and personal information. This record goes into the county's Jail Information Management System. The sheriff stores booking data for all five of its jail facilities in one database, so arrests from Menifee appear alongside bookings from the rest of the county.

Because Menifee uses the sheriff for policing, there is no separate city police records unit. All records come from the county. This actually simplifies the search process. You only need to check one source instead of two.

How to Search Menifee Busted Mugshots

The JIMS public inmate search is the best place to start. This tool from the Riverside County Sheriff lets you search by name. Enter a first and last name to find matching inmates. The results show booking photos, charges, bail amounts, and facility locations. It covers current inmates and recent releases. The search is free and open to everyone.

If the person you are looking for is not in JIMS, they may have been released and the record may no longer show online. For older records, file a California Public Records Act request with the Riverside County Sheriff's Records Bureau. Give them the person's name and an approximate arrest date. They have 10 days to respond. You can send the request by mail, drop it off at a sheriff's station, or check if the agency has an online submission form.

Removing Menifee Busted Mugshots

California provides legal ways to clear arrest records. Under Penal Code section 851.87, you can petition to seal an arrest if charges were never filed, the case was dismissed, or you were found not guilty. A sealed arrest record means the mugshot is no longer accessible to the public. The Clean Slate Act under SB 731 can automatically seal certain qualifying arrests and convictions without you filing anything.

Expungement under Penal Code section 1203.4 is available for people who completed probation. It vacates the conviction but does not seal the arrest or mugshot by itself. You file the petition with the Riverside County Superior Court. The Southwest Justice Center handles cases from this part of the county. Several legal aid groups serve the Inland Empire region and offer free help with these petitions.

Under SB 1027, third-party mugshot sites cannot charge fees for removal. This is a statewide ban. If any website asks for money to remove a Menifee busted mugshot, you can report it to the California Attorney General's office. Penal Code section 13665 also restricts how law enforcement can share booking photos on social media for nonviolent offenses.
