This is a private reference site. It cannot confirm custody or release, pull LASD records, order a file, post bond, release a person, or speak for any agency. Use the official contacts below for custody status, release records, case records, supervision questions, and government records requests.
LASD Custody and Release Contacts
For a person who may be in LASD or LAPD custody, start with the custody status line or the LASD Inmate Information Center. A released person may no longer appear in a live custody search, so formal release confirmation may require LASD records or the court case.
- LASD general headquarters: Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, 211 W Temple St, Los Angeles, CA 90012; 213-229-1700.
- Custody and inmate location: 213-473-6100. LAPD identifies this as a 24-hour line for custody status at LAPD or LASD-operated jails.
- LASD Inmate Information Center: https://app5.lasd.org/iic.
- LASD custody reports and release PDFs: https://lasd.org/transparency/custodyreports/.

Release often depends on court orders, sentence calculations, supervision placement, or parole hearing status. Use the correct office for the custody track involved.
