Glendale, CA Glendale Jail View
Glendale Jail is a local detention facility in Glendale, California, operated by the Glendale Police Department. It is used to hold people arrested by local law enforcement, including pretrial detainees awaiting release, bail, court appearance, or transfer to another Los Angeles County facility.

The facility supports the local justice system by processing arrests, maintaining custody records, and coordinating with courts and county agencies.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Glendale Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. Jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, charges, housing or custody status, and sometimes release or court information. Records are not always searchable immediately after an arrest because booking, identification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility for guidance. In some cases, a person may be released, transferred to a Los Angeles County jail, or held under information that has not yet been updated online.
