Find Burbank Released Inmates

Released inmate records for Burbank arrests come from the Burbank Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Burbank operates a booking and pay-to-stay facility at the police station. This makes it somewhat unusual among California cities. People arrested in Burbank may be held at the city facility for short stays or transferred to the LA County jail for longer custody. The Burbank PD publishes daily arrest logs on its website. For county-level booking and release records, use the LASD inmate search tool. This page covers how to find released inmate records from both Burbank and LA County systems.

LA County Jail and Burbank Released Inmates

Burbank sits in Los Angeles County. The LA County Sheriff's Department runs the largest jail system in the country. People arrested in Burbank who face serious charges or need longer custody get transferred from the city facility to one of the county jails. The LASD keeps all booking and release data for anyone who enters the county system. When a Burbank inmate is released from LA County custody, the record updates with the date and method of release.

The LASD Inmate Information Center at app5.lasd.org/iic is the main search tool. It is free. Anyone can use it. Search by name or booking number. Results show charges, bail amount, booking date, court dates, and custody status. Released inmates have their release information in the record. The tool covers all LA County jails, which process hundreds of thousands of bookings each year. For Burbank released inmates who were transferred to county custody, this is the first place to look.

Burbank Police Booking Facility

Burbank is one of the few cities in California that operates its own booking and pay-to-stay facility. The facility is at the Burbank Police Department headquarters. People arrested for lower-level offenses may serve their time at the Burbank facility rather than being transferred to LA County. The city jail allows daily visitation from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. The pay-to-stay option lets people sentenced to short jail terms serve that time in the Burbank facility for a fee, which provides a smaller and less crowded setting than the county jail.

Released inmate records from the Burbank facility are held by the police department. The county's online search tool does not cover people who were held only at the city level and never transferred. If you are looking for someone who was booked and released in Burbank without going to county jail, you need to contact BPD directly. The department publishes daily arrest logs that show recent arrests and bookings in Burbank.

Note: Inmates at the Burbank facility and LA County jail are tracked in separate systems.

The arrest logs provide a snapshot, but a formal request gets you the full arrest report, case file details, and booking documentation tied to a specific Burbank case.

California Law on Burbank Inmate Releases

California law gives the public the right to access arrest data. Government Code 7923.610 says every law enforcement agency must share the full name, date of birth, physical description, arrest time, booking time, charges, bail, and how someone was released. This covers both the Burbank Police Department and the LA County Sheriff. Agencies can hold back a detail only if sharing it would endanger a person or hurt an active investigation. The law applies to all Burbank released inmate records.

Penal Code 3003 controls the release of state prison inmates to communities like Burbank. When CDCR releases a parolee to Los Angeles County, the department notifies local law enforcement. Data includes the parolee's name, physical traits, tattoos, scars, offense history, and planned living address. Parolees return to the county where they lived before prison. Each person gets $200 in gate money. The law ensures that Burbank law enforcement knows about released inmates settling in the area.
