Which Las Vegas arrest record do you actually need?
Search CCDC or the city detention system to learn whether the person is presently held and obtain an inmate or booking identifier.
Request the incident report, arrest report, probable-cause material or releasable video from LVMPD or the actual arresting agency.
Search Municipal Court, Justice Court or District Court for formal charges, hearings, orders and disposition.
Request your fingerprint-based Nevada criminal history from the state Repository when county-level information is not enough.
Las Vegas has more than one detention system
“Arrested in Las Vegas” can refer to the incorporated City of Las Vegas, unincorporated Clark County, the Strip, Henderson, North Las Vegas or another nearby jurisdiction. The arresting agency and alleged offence location determine where to search.
| Possible custody location | Who may be housed there | Information line | Best clue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clark County Detention Center | Many people arrested by LVMPD, including cases connected with Clark County and Las Vegas Justice Court. | 702-671-3900 | The result has a CCDC inmate ID or Justice Court case number. |
| City of Las Vegas Detention Center | Adults arrested on misdemeanor offences within City of Las Vegas jurisdiction. | 702-229-6444, option 3 | The case is a city misdemeanor or Las Vegas Municipal Court matter. |
| North Las Vegas detention | People held within North Las Vegas jurisdiction. | 702-633-1400 | North Las Vegas Police made the arrest. |

How to search Clark County Detention Center custody records
How to read a Clark County inmate result
| Field | What it means | What it does not prove | What to do next |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inmate ID | The identifier assigned within the detention system. | It does not explain the final criminal case outcome. | Use it for mail, deposits, visits, calls and information requests. |
| Arrest date | The date linked to the arrest event. | It may differ from booking, filing or first-appearance dates. | Use it to distinguish separate arrests. |
| Related case | A Justice Court or other case reference connected with custody. | It may not be the later District Court case number. | Search the case in the relevant court system. |
| Detainer | Another case, agency or jurisdiction may have an interest in continued custody. | Payment of local bail may not clear the detainer. | Ask which agency controls the hold. |
| Cash bail | An amount that may be paid in full under the stated conditions. | It does not guarantee immediate release. | Confirm all cases, holds and payment instructions first. |
| Surety bail | A bond may be posted through a qualified surety or bail-bond process. | It does not remove other holds. | Verify the exact case and filing fee. |
| Charge | The allegation connected with booking or the related case. | It is not proof of guilt and may later change. | Check the prosecutor filing and court disposition. |
| Release status | The person may be processing for release, transferred or no longer in custody. | Release does not mean the case was dismissed. | Confirm physical release and search the court case. |

How to obtain your Nevada criminal history record
The Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History maintains Nevada arrest, detention, formal charge, disposition, sentence, correctional-supervision, parole and probation information submitted by Nevada criminal-justice agencies.
What a Nevada criminal history generally includes
What the Repository record excludes
Investigative information and reports of crime are not the same as the formal criminal-history record.
Juvenile information is excluded from the statutory criminal-history definition used by the Repository.
Fugitive posters and wanted-person announcements are not part of the personal criminal-history report.
Court indexes, public proceedings, decisions and opinions are maintained separately.
Nevada does not index standard traffic charges in criminal history. DUI can be treated differently when it reaches felony status.
Out-of-state and FBI records require separate authorised requests.

Las Vegas arrest record questions answered
How do I search Las Vegas arrest records?
Start with CCDC for current county custody. Also check the City of Las Vegas, Henderson or North Las Vegas detention system when the arrest occurred in those jurisdictions. Use the appropriate court search for charges and disposition.
What can I enter in the CCDC inmate search?
Search by inmate name, inmate ID or Las Vegas Justice Court case number. Use only one input field at a time, and enter at least two letters of the last name for a name search.
Why is someone missing from the Clark County inmate search?
The person may be in intake, under 18, in protective custody, housed in another city jail, released or transferred. Call 702-671-3900 for current information.
How long should I wait before requesting an LVMPD report?
LVMPD advises waiting up to 10 business days after the report is filed before requesting a disseminated copy.
How much is an LVMPD incident report?
Effective July 1, 2026, the published non-refundable fee is $13 for an incident report and $13 for a traffic collision report. Other record types can have different charges.
