Inmate Search

Use the San Bernardino County Sheriff inmate locator above, or call CityWide at 1-833-385-5245 for an immediate lookup without navigating county websites. Search requires a full legal name and date of birth for best results. If no results appear within 8 hours of arrest, the person may still be in a city holding cell pending transfer to county, calling is faster than refreshing the search.

Several reasons a person may not appear in results: (1) They were arrested less than 4–8 hours ago and processing is not complete. (2) They are still in a city police holding cell before county transfer. (3) They were booked under a slightly different name, try last name only. (4) They may be held in a neighboring county. Call CityWide at 1-833-385-5245 and we verify status directly with the facility in minutes regardless of system lag.

Bail amount is the most important field, 10% of that number is what you pay CityWide to secure release.
