Clark County Sheriff Office: Las Vegas Police, Jail & Civil Services
Clark County is unusual because there is not a separate countywide police agency operating under the simple name “Clark County Sheriff’s Office.” The elected Clark County Sheriff leads the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), while Clark County separately publishes detention, Sheriff Civil, court and other county services.
That distinction matters. The right place for an inmate search is the Clark County Detention Center. Civil process goes to Sheriff Civil. LVMPD handles police services for Las Vegas and much of unincorporated Clark County, while Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City and Mesquite operate their own police departments.
Which Clark County Agency Should You Contact?
The biggest problem with Clark County searches is assuming one office handles everything. Police reports, jail custody, court records, warrants and civil papers use different systems.

Who Actually Provides Police Service Across Clark County?
LVMPD’s jurisdiction includes the City of Las Vegas and large unincorporated parts of Clark County. The department also patrols rural resident areas such as Bunkerville, Overton, Logandale, Searchlight, Primm, Sandy Valley, Jean and Mount Charleston.
Several incorporated cities operate their own police departments. If an incident happened inside one of those cities, the city police department—not LVMPD—is normally the agency to contact for the police report or local investigation.

- Use 911 instead when the situation is an active emergency.
Clark County Detention Center Inmate Search
The Clark County Detention Center provides the official online inmate search. The county says current information can be searched by at least two letters of the last name, inmate ID or Justice Court case number.
CCDC also warns that not every arrested person will necessarily be housed there. Depending on the arresting jurisdiction, a person may instead be in a city detention facility.
- Search by last name, inmate ID or Justice Court case number.
- Confirm the correct person’s name and age.
- Review every listed case and charge.
- Look for a detainer before assuming bail will produce release.
- Save the inmate ID because you will need it for money, mail and other services.
- Call 702-671-3900 for the most current information.
Why someone may not appear
- The arrest is extremely recent and booking is still underway.
- The person is under 18; CCDC says juveniles are not displayed in the public inmate search.
- The person is in protective custody and therefore not displayed.
- The arresting agency placed the person in a different local detention facility.
- The person was released before you searched.
- The name or spelling differs from what you expected.
Clark County Detention Center Bail and Release
CCDC’s Pre-Trial Services/Bail page separates Justice Court and District Court bail procedures. Before paying, identify the court shown on the inmate record.

The current CCDC commissary schedule lists North Tower and North Valley Complex deliveries on Monday and Thursday, and South Tower deliveries on Tuesday and Friday. Aramark iCare gift-bag orders are limited to once per week.
CCDC Inmate Calls and June 2026 Account Changes
Clark County’s inmate telephone service is operated through ViaPath. The county publishes a current calling rate of $0.10 per minute for listed collect, debit and prepaid call categories.
A major 2026 change took effect June 1: family and friends can no longer deposit directly into the inmate’s old Phone/PIN debit account in the same way. CCDC now directs families to the current TouchPay commissary and GettingOut account options depending on the service being funded.
Account |
Current use |
|---|---|
TouchPay commissary account |
CCDC says inmate commissary funds can also support telephone and tablet services under the June 2026 change |
GettingOut My Messaging |
Messages, photos and e-cards tied to the family member’s account |
GettingOut AdvancePay |
Phone calls and, effective June 1, 2026, video visits |
- Read the June 1, 2026 account notice first.
- Choose the account that matches the service you intend to fund.
- Review funding fees before paying.
- Keep payment receipts in case support is needed.
Inmates cannot receive ordinary incoming calls. For a genuine emergency involving an inmate, CCDC directs people to the information line at 702-671-3900.
Clark County Detention Center Mail Addresses
Clark County uses one mailing address for physical social mail and another for legal mail, official documents and publications.
Social mail

PO Box 43059
Las Vegas, NV 89116
Legal mail, official documents and publications
Clark County Detention Center
330 S. Casino Center Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV 89101
CCDC’s current social-mail rules require a return address, white envelopes and white paper, and writing in blue ink, black ink or pencil.
- Greeting cards and postcards are restricted under the current social-mail rules.
- Glitter, rhinestones, stickers and glued items are prohibited.
- Blank envelopes, stationery and stamps are prohibited.

- Review paper, ink, photo and prohibited-material rules.
- Do not send cash through ordinary mail.
Clark County Warrant Search: Start With the Correct Court
LVMPD’s Records and Fingerprint Bureau says the best way to check warrant information is through the courts because police staff cannot verify someone’s identity over the telephone for warrant purposes.
Clark County has several separate court systems, so there is no single universal “Clark County warrant search” that covers every possible municipal, Justice Court and District Court warrant.
Possible court |
Examples |
Best action |
|---|---|---|
Las Vegas Municipal Court |
City ordinance and qualifying misdemeanor matters |
Use the court’s warrant-status and docket tools |
Las Vegas Justice Court |
Township criminal and preliminary matters |
Search or contact Las Vegas Justice Court |
Eighth Judicial District Court |
Felony and gross-misdemeanor District Court matters |
Use District Court Case Inquiry |
Henderson / North Las Vegas courts |
Cases originating in those city jurisdictions |
Use the specific municipal or Justice Court |
- Identify where the citation or criminal case originated.
- Open the matching court.
- Use that court’s warrant or case search.
- Check more than one court when you genuinely do not know the issuing jurisdiction.
How to Request Clark County / LVMPD Police Records
LVMPD’s Public Records Unit handles Nevada Public Records Act requests for identifiable law-enforcement records such as incident reports, arrest reports, body-worn-camera footage, photographs and other existing records.
As of September 16, 2025, LVMPD uses a newer online submission platform for Public Records Unit requests.
- Identify the exact existing record you want.
- Check whether you are an involved party, attorney, insurer, government agency or general requester.
- Follow the page’s routing instructions; some involved-party requests go through Records and Fingerprint rather than the Public Records portal.
- Use the Communications portal for CAD notes, 911/311 calls or radio audio.
- Review the current fee schedule before submitting a broad video or audio request.
2026 public-record charges worth knowing
LVMPD’s current Public Records page lists body-worn-camera video/audio preparation, research and redaction at $89 per hour, effective July 1, 2026. Other research or redaction charges may vary.
The Communications Research Office currently lists separate fees for CAD, call and audio requests, including $31 for certain communications-record searches and higher fees for audio reproduction.
Clark County Sheriff Civil Process
This is one place where the Clark County “Sheriff” name appears directly in county government. Sheriff Civil is a bureau under LVMPD whose commissioned deputy sheriffs execute civil process on behalf of District, Family and Justice courts.
Sheriff Civil serves documents including subpoenas, summonses, complaints, garnishments, writs of attachment, writs of execution, writs of possession and writs of restitution.
Protective orders forwarded by the appropriate Clark County court are served without a Sheriff service charge under the bureau’s current guidance.
- Identify the exact court document to be served.
- Prepare the required instructions to the Sheriff.
- Include filed copies, seals and fees required for that document type.
- Use an accepted payment type; Sheriff Civil says it does not accept cash, credit cards or personal checks.
- Call 702-455-5400 before mailing unusual or urgent process.
Out-of-state documents
The current Sheriff Civil instructions require a deposit for out-of-state service requests. Some outlying Clark County locations, including communities such as Mesquite, Overton and Logandale, can require a higher deposit for certain writ services.
Clark County Criminal Court Records
The Eighth Judicial District Court Clerk maintains court records from September 1909 forward. Most District Court records from 1990 to the present can be searched online.
- Use Case Inquiry for records that can be searched online.
- Search by case number when possible.
- Confirm the defendant and court department.
- Review public case events and disposition.
- Contact the Clerk for certified copies or older records not available online.
Las Vegas Municipal Court is separate
Las Vegas Municipal Court is at 100 E. Clark Avenue and handles its own docket, payments and warrant-status tools. Its main number is 702-382-6878.
This matters because a person can have a Las Vegas Municipal Court matter that will not be found by treating the District Court system as the only court in Clark County.
LVMPD Area Commands Can Handle Many Non-Emergency Tasks
LVMPD divides its jurisdiction into area commands. For many routine services, you do not need to drive to headquarters.
Area commands can provide services such as filing crime and collision reports and, for qualifying requesters, certain report copies or personal background checks.
- Locate the command serving your address or incident location.
- Open that station’s page.
- Review its public counter hours.
- Check whether your service can be handled there or requires Records and Fingerprint at headquarters.
Some services still require headquarters
LVMPD says fingerprinting, concealed-firearm permit applications, ATF applications, work-card applications and certain required registrations are handled through the Records and Fingerprint Bureau at headquarters rather than ordinary area-command counters.
Clark County Concealed Firearm Permit Services Are Through LVMPD
LVMPD’s Records and Fingerprint Bureau handles Clark County concealed-firearm permit applications and renewals.
The current LVMPD fee information lists:
- New application: $60.
- FBI background check: $39.
- Renewal application: $25 plus the applicable FBI background fee.
- Late renewal: $40 plus the applicable FBI background fee.
- Name change: $25.
- Duplicate permit: $15.
- Address change with new permit: $15.
- Identify whether you are applying, renewing or changing permit information.
- Review the current training and application requirements.
- Confirm the current total fee before the appointment.
- Use the specific address-change or replacement process when that is all you need.
Clark County Mistakes That Waste the Most Time
- Calling 702-828-3111 for every jail question. CCDC inmate information has its own line: 702-671-3900.
- Calling the agency “CCSO.” The elected Clark County Sheriff leads LVMPD; Clark County also maintains a separate Sheriff Civil bureau.
- Assuming Henderson or North Las Vegas incidents are LVMPD cases. Those cities have their own police departments.
- Checking only one court for a warrant. Clark County has multiple municipal, Justice and District Court systems.
- Mailing social and legal inmate mail to the same address. CCDC publishes separate addresses.
- Sending money before confirming inmate ID. CCDC says inmate-account deposits are not refundable.
- Using an old phone-funding workflow. CCDC changed family phone/video funding options effective June 1, 2026.
- Driving to Sheriff Civil expecting court records. Sheriff Civil does not keep the court’s case file.
- Waiting until the last moment for civil service. Sheriff Civil currently warns of a 6–8 week service timeframe.
- Paying a warrant caller. Sheriff Civil specifically warns that payment-demand calls involving warrants or missed jury duty are scams.

The older page incorrectly described a standalone countywide agency called “Clark County Sheriff’s Office.”
Freshness: custody, bail, visitation schedules, provider fees, telephone systems, records charges and civil-process timeframes can change. Verify time-sensitive information on the linked official page immediately before paying, mailing or travelling.
Legal and privacy notice: an arrest or jail entry may contain allegations rather than convictions. Juvenile, sealed, investigative, victim, medical and otherwise protected information may not be publicly available.
FCRA notice: do not use an inmate roster, arrest entry or this informational guide as a substitute for a legally compliant consumer report when making employment, housing, credit, insurance or another eligibility decision governed by consumer-reporting law.
If there is an immediate threat to life, violence in progress or another emergency, call 911.
