Could you have a warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere else in California? Do you need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Begin your search with the California Superior Court.

Under the California Constitution, most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County have a right to be released on bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that bail must be set with the defendant’s financial circumstances in mind, and that less restrictive alternatives should be used when they would protect the public and ensure the defendant returns to court. Rule 4.101 bars judges from considering whether a jury trial has been requested.

The licensed capacity of the Burbank Jail is 25 inmates, though the jail frequently has to make room for more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California see at least 35-40% of inmates turn over monthly, 25-30% more every 90 days, and 15-20% more every six months, while around 8-9% remain six to twelve months. Stays longer than twelve months are usually tied to serious charges such as rape or murder. Those cases take time to prepare for trial, which means offenders arrested in this county stay in custody at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 462,420 offenders annually.
