Victorville Arrest Records Search

Victorville arrest records are kept by the San Bernardino County Sheriff. The city contracts with the sheriff for law enforcement rather than running its own police department. Deputies patrol Victorville and make arrests under county authority. For booking info and custody status, you go through the county sheriff system. The High Desert area has its own sheriff station serving Victorville and nearby communities.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff has a station in Victorville. This is the local contact for police services. The station handles calls, takes reports, and books arrests. Deputies serving Victorville work out of this location.

The High Desert Detention Center is also in the Victorville area. This is where many local arrests get booked. The facility holds people awaiting trial and serving short sentences. For custody status, check the county inmate locator online.

The county inmate search at jimsnetil.shr.sbcounty.gov covers all sheriff facilities. Enter the name or booking number to find someone. Results show location, charges, and bail amount. The database updates throughout the day as bookings happen.

Request Victorville Arrest Records

Since the sheriff handles Victorville, arrest records come from the county. The sheriff uses NextRequest for public records. Submit requests at sanbernardinocounty.nextrequest.com. The online system tracks your request and sends updates.

You can also contact the sheriff's records section by phone. Include details about what you need. Dates, names, and case numbers help speed the search. Vague requests take longer because staff must search more broadly.

Common record requests include:

• Arrest reports from Victorville incidents
• Crime reports for property offenses
• Traffic collision reports
• Clearance letters for employment

California law gives agencies 10 days to respond. They may extend for complex requests. Fees vary by record type. Victims often get free copies. Ask about waivers when you submit.

Note: Active investigation files are typically not released until the case closes.

San Bernardino County Jail System

Victorville arrests go into the county jail system. The High Desert Detention Center serves the local area. For other facilities, the West Valley Detention Center is the main county jail. You can call (909) 350-2476 for West Valley.

The county uses VINELink for victim notification. Register at vinelink.com with site code 5006. You get alerts when custody status changes. This includes releases, transfers, and escapes. Notifications come by phone, email, or text.

Families can send packages through iCare Gifts at icaregifts.com. This third-party service delivers approved items to inmates. The sheriff sets rules on what is allowed. Check the approved list before ordering.

Visiting inmates requires scheduling ahead. The county does not allow walk-in visits. Check the sheriff's website for hours and rules. You need valid ID and must follow the dress code. Some charges restrict visiting privileges.

California State Criminal Records

The California DOJ maintains statewide arrest records. The San Bernardino Sheriff sends booking data to the state. This creates a central database covering all California agencies. For complete criminal history, the DOJ is the best source.

Request your own record through Live Scan fingerprinting. The DOJ charges $25 for personal review. Find a Live Scan site in Victorville or nearby. After fingerprinting, results come from Sacramento within a few weeks.

Under Penal Code 11105, the DOJ keeps state summary criminal history. This includes arrests from all California law enforcement. Background checks for employment often pull from this database.

California provides automatic record relief for eligible old cases. The DOJ reviews records monthly and marks qualifying ones. This limits what appears on some background checks. You do not have to petition for automatic relief.

Victorville Arrest Record Access Laws

California law governs arrest record access. Basic facts are public. Names, charges, and dates can be released. Investigation details have more protection. Active cases are largely exempt from disclosure.

The Public Records Act sets response rules. Agencies have 10 days to reply. Extensions are allowed for complex requests. Simple asks come back faster. Large document requests take more time to process.

Employers face limits under the Fair Chance Act. Most cannot ask about criminal history on job applications. They must wait until after a conditional offer. This gives applicants a fair chance to interview first.

Arrests without conviction may qualify for sealing. Under Penal Code 851.91, you can petition the court. If granted, the arrest hides from most public searches. Law enforcement still has access. An attorney can evaluate your eligibility.
