Norwalk Arrest Records Lookup

Norwalk arrest records are handled by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The city contracts with LASD instead of running its own police force. When deputies arrest someone in Norwalk, the booking enters the countywide jail database. You can search for inmates using the LASD online tool. The Norwalk Station serves as the local law enforcement presence. Interestingly, the LASD Records Division headquarters is also located in Norwalk, making it a hub for county records processing.

Norwalk Sheriff Station

The Norwalk Station is at 12335 Civic Center Drive. Deputies from this station patrol Norwalk and respond to calls. The station phone number is (562) 863-8711. They handle local incidents but all records go through the central LASD system.

Norwalk holds a unique position in LA County. The LASD Records Division is headquartered here at 12440 East Imperial Highway. This means all county records requests from any LASD station get processed in Norwalk. The city serves as the administrative center for Sheriff records countywide.

The station itself does not release records directly to the public. You have to go through the Records Division even though it is just down the road. This keeps the process consistent across all Sheriff stations in the county.
