Tracing a recent arrest involving Santa Ana Police Department
Santa Ana Police and the Orange County Sheriff are different agencies operating in the same city. Santa Ana City Jail and the county Intake Release Center are separate facilities. Clarify which facility holds the person before using visiting, property or release-pickup instructions.
For a Santa Ana arrest, do not confuse Santa Ana City Jail with the Orange County Sheriff’s Intake Release Center or Central Jail. They are separate facilities in the same city. Ask whether Santa Ana Police still holds the person or whether a county transfer has occurred; then confirm the current facility, booking reference, available alleged charges, bail amount and pickup instructions with the appropriate contact. Include the arrest time and location in an inquiry.
Santa Ana Police Department: agency reference
Published agency address: 60 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA. Confirm the current holding facility before traveling.
Agency contact: 714-245-8049. oc-jail.com/ inmate inquiry help: (714) 616-1387.
Request inmate arrest charges and bail information
Ask for the alleged offense description and code, arrest or booking number, current custody location, court date if assigned, and the current bail amount. Keep the arrest date with those details so records from different incidents are not confused. Initial allegations can differ from charges later filed in court.
A booking record may not contain every detail a family needs. Ask whether bail has been set, whether there are additional holds or warrants, and whether the person is awaiting a hearing or another release decision. Do not assume a listed amount alone guarantees release. Our team can help you request and understand the available custody information.

- Confirm release instructions or pickup location before traveling.
County custody may involve the Intake Release Center, Central Men’s and Women’s Jails or Theo Lacy, depending on the actual placement.

Santa Ana inmate search questions
How do I find someone recently arrested in Santa Ana?
Identify the arresting agency, approximate arrest time and person’s full legal name. Ask where the person is currently held and whether a booking number is available. Use the inmate inquiry button on this page or call (714) 616-1387 for assistance with available information.
How can I request Santa Ana inmate arrest charges?
Request the specific alleged offenses or charge codes associated with the current booking. An arrest allegation and a filed court charge can differ. Missing charge information in a search result does not establish that no charges exist. Our team can help you request available details.
How do I find the inmate’s current bail amount?
Ask for the total current bail and whether any holds, warrants or court orders affect release. A general bail schedule is a reference, not confirmation of the amount or release eligibility in an individual case. Verify the current amount before arranging payment.
Why is the inmate not appearing in a search?
The person may still be in city custody, in transport or in intake; spelling and identity details can also affect a search. A missing result does not prove release. Provide the arrest time and location so the inquiry can follow the correct agency.
What happens after I submit an inmate inquiry?
You should receive a follow-up within five minutes. If you do not receive a response, or the matter is urgent, call (714) 616-1387 for immediate assistance. Do not wait for an inquiry response in an emergency; call 911.
