Glendale Jail and County System

Glendale Police Department runs its own jail for temporary custody. The facility has 96 beds for people arrested in the city. GPD books arrestees there and processes them through intake. Staff take fingerprints, photos, and personal information. They enter charges and determine bail. But this city jail only holds people for short periods. California law limits how long someone can stay in a Type I facility before transfer or release.

After the initial booking, most inmates transfer to Los Angeles County facilities. The county takes over long-term custody and court transport duties. Glendale inmates might end up at Men's Central Jail, Twin Towers, or other county jails. Once they transfer, you search for them through the LASD system. The county manages their custody from that point forward until release or sentencing.

Some people never make it to county custody. They might post bail at the Glendale jail. Or charges could get dropped. Minor offenders sometimes get cited and released within hours. If someone does not appear in the county database, they may have been released from Glendale's facility before the transfer happened. You can contact Glendale Police Department at (818) 548-4840 to ask about recent bookings that have not yet transferred to county custody.
