Clark County Inmate Search

The Clark County inmate search is the public way to find someone in custody at the Clark County Detention Center, the main jail for the Las Vegas area. Run by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the in-custody search lets the public look up current jail bookings by name, inmate ID, or Justice Court case number. A Clark County inmate search shows current custody only, not a full criminal history and not released inmates. People also use the jail roster to plan visits, send money, and confirm a booking. State prison and federal custody are separate systems with their own locators.

Cities in Clark County with their own police forces, including Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, and Mesquite, may book arrests into CCDC or hold short-term detainees before transfer. The CCDC in-custody search is the central county custody lookup.


Booking and Bond Basics in Clark County

After an arrest, a person is transported to the detention center for intake. The booking process includes identification, property inventory, medical and mental-health screening, a booking photo, fingerprinting, and a check for warrants and holds. The person is then classified and housed. Initial appearances and bail decisions follow the court schedule and the charge type.

Bond can take several forms. Cash bail requires the full amount to be posted. A surety bond uses a bail bond company that charges a fee. An own-recognizance release lets a person go without posting money, based on a judicial finding. A no-bond hold means the person stays in custody pending a court decision. The court sets bail based on the charge, the risk of flight, and public safety.

The CCDC in-custody search may show a bail or bond amount on a booking. A person who posts bond may be released quickly, which is why a later search can show no result. The warrant search page covers how a served warrant ties into a booking, and the arrest records page covers the relationship between booking charges and the formal charges filed by the District Attorney.


Clark County Detention Center Visitation

The detention center publishes visitation rules on its official visitation page. Rules cover scheduling, identification, dress code, conduct, child visitors, and attorney visits. The schedule and provider can change, so confirm details on the official page before planning a visit.

Minor Visitors Adult or guardian requirement and relationship rules.

Money, Mail, and Commissary at CCDC

The detention center handles money deposits, mail, commissary, and phone access through its inmate information page and designated vendors. Money can usually be deposited through a kiosk, online, or by mail. Commissary lets inmates buy approved items from their account. Mail must follow the facility's address format and content rules.

Confirm the current deposit vendor, the mail address format, and the prohibited-items list on the official CCDC inmate information page before sending anything. Vendors and rules change. Prohibited items are returned or rejected, and mail that violates the format is not delivered.

Note: Do not send cash through the mail; use the facility's designated deposit method for adding money to an inmate account.


CCDC vs Nevada DOC vs Federal Custody

The Clark County inmate search covers county custody only. After sentencing, a person may move to the Nevada Department of Corrections. A federal case routes to the Bureau of Prisons. Each system has its own locator, and a county search will not show state or federal custody.

The image below shows the Nevada Department of Corrections offender search, used for Clark County defendants now in state prison.

Use the Nevada DOC offender search at ofdsearch.doc.nv.gov for state prison custody. Use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator at bop.gov/inmateloc for federal custody. To track movement and releases, set up notifications through VINELink Nevada, which the released inmates page covers in detail.


Tips for Attorneys and Family of Clark County Inmates

Family members and attorneys use the jail roster for different reasons. Family wants to confirm a booking, plan a visit, and add money. Attorneys want to confirm custody, schedule professional visits, and track the next court date. Both should keep the inmate ID handy because it returns the cleanest search result.

For urgent matters such as a release, a pickup, or a court appearance, do not rely only on a web result. Call the official CCDC information line to confirm. The web roster updates on a delay and may not reflect a very recent booking or release. The jail population page covers how the detention center reports custody data overall.

For inmate population data, reentry support, and release notifications, the related pages below cover each topic. The released inmates page covers what happens after custody ends.
