Victorville Arrests and County Booking

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department runs the Victorville Station at 14200 Amargosa Road. Deputies assigned to Victorville patrol the city and make arrests. When someone is taken into custody, they go to a San Bernardino County detention facility for booking. The High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto is the main jail serving the Victor Valley area. It is about 10 miles from Victorville.

At the High Desert Detention Center, staff take the mugshot, fingerprints, and enter all charges. The booking record goes into the sheriff's inmate management system. The facility also houses the desert region's court lockup, so inmates from Victorville who have court dates are held there. The record includes the photo, name, charges, bail, and the date and time of booking. Everything is public under California law.

Because Victorville relies on the sheriff rather than its own police force, all records come from the county. There is no separate city records division for arrest or booking data. This makes searching simpler. One agency has everything.

Clearing Victorville Busted Mugshots

California offers several ways to clear arrest records. Penal Code section 851.87 lets you seal an arrest if charges were not filed, the case was dismissed, or you were acquitted. Once sealed, the mugshot is no longer public. SB 731, the Clean Slate Act, provides automatic sealing for some older qualifying cases. The San Bernardino County Superior Court handles these petitions for Victorville arrests.

Expungement under Penal Code section 1203.4 is available after probation ends. It updates the conviction record but does not seal the booking or mugshot on its own. File the petition at the Superior Court. The Victorville courthouse can process local cases. Legal aid organizations in the High Desert and Inland Empire regions offer free assistance with these petitions for people who qualify based on income.

SB 1027 prohibits third-party websites from charging removal fees for mugshots. Any site that asks for money to take down a Victorville booking photo is violating California law. Report them to the Attorney General's office. Penal Code section 13665 also restricts law enforcement from posting mugshots on social media for nonviolent arrests.
