Las Vegas Jail Inmate Search: City Jail & CCDC 2026

Which Las Vegas Inmate Search Should You Use?

This helper does not search any jail database itself. It routes you to the appropriate government search.

Why a Las Vegas Strip Arrest May Not Be a City Jail Case

The phrase “Las Vegas” is broader than the legal boundary of the incorporated City of Las Vegas. Clark County has jurisdiction over the world-famous Las Vegas Strip and provides municipal services in large unincorporated areas of the valley.

Clark County identifies Sahara Avenue as the municipal boundary on the north side of the Strip. The main Strip south of Sahara is generally in unincorporated Clark County rather than the City of Las Vegas.

How to Search the City of Las Vegas Detention Center

The official City of Las Vegas inmate search accepts a last name, first name or inmate ID. If you do not have an inmate ID, start with the legal last name and then narrow the results with the first name.

City Detention Addresses Need Context

How to Search Clark County Detention Center

CCDC’s official search accepts an inmate ID, Justice Court case number or at least two letters of the person’s last name. Clark County recommends using more than two letters when possible to narrow a common surname.

1. Open the Clark County inmate search. Make sure the page belongs to Clark County government.
2. Search by last name, inmate ID or Justice Court case number. Use stronger identifiers whenever possible.
3. Open the matching custody result. Review the current in-custody information rather than relying on an old copied booking page.
4. Match the identity carefully. Use inmate ID, court case, arrest context and other official details rather than a name or image alone.
5. Use the court separately. A jail charge can change and is not the final court disposition.
6. Call when the information is time-sensitive. Clark County lists 702-671-3900 for the most current inmate information.

Recommended Las Vegas Inmate Search Sequence

1. Find the arrest location. Determine whether the incident occurred inside the City of Las Vegas, on the Strip/unincorporated Clark County, in North Las Vegas or in Henderson.
2. Identify the arresting agency. Do not rely only on a hotel, casino or street name.
3. Search the likely local detention system. Start with City detention or CCDC, then check North Las Vegas or Henderson when appropriate.
4. Record the official identifiers. Write down inmate ID, booking number, court case number and facility exactly as displayed.
5. Check the correct court. Use Municipal Court, Justice Court or District Court based on the case.
6. Verify holds and bail before paying. A displayed amount may not show every barrier to release.
7. Recheck the facility before the next action. Transfers can change mail, phone, visit and deposit instructions.

What to Do When No Las Vegas Inmate Result Appears

• Recheck legal-name spelling.
• Try the official inmate ID when known.
• Confirm the arresting agency and jurisdiction.
• Search both City detention and CCDC when the location is unclear.
• Check North Las Vegas or Henderson when appropriate.
• Use Nevada DOC after a state-prison transfer.
• Use the court system to confirm the case and jurisdiction.
• Call the responsible detention center when the arrest is very recent.

CCDC TouchPay Deposits

LVMPD identifies TouchPay as the fastest route for credit/debit-card deposits into a CCDC inmate’s trust account. The detention center says transactions are posted within 24 hours and usually within about 15 minutes.

CCDC Mailed Funds Use a Different Address

Money orders should be payable to CCDC Inmate Trust Account and include the inmate’s name and ID number on the memo line. LVMPD states that checks and money orders can be held for 10 business days. Personal checks and two-party checks are not accepted.

Property Release and Release Timing

City of Las Vegas Property Release

The city allows property release to begin either through an inmate requesting the form from an officer or through an individual requesting a property-release form at the bail window.

Property-release information references the bail window at 3300 Stewart Ave.

City Release Timing

The City of Las Vegas does not provide exact inmate release times for safety reasons. Released inmates exit at 3300 Stewart Ave.

Medical and Welfare Concerns

The City of Las Vegas states that detention medical services include 24-hour nursing care, weekly physician and psychiatric visits and basic dental care through its medical provider.

For a time-sensitive welfare concern, first confirm the person’s current jail and contact that facility directly. For immediate danger or a medical emergency requiring emergency response, use the appropriate emergency channel rather than relying on an ordinary inmate message or email.
