JAIL DIVISION The Jail Division performs many essential tasks within the Police Department including: Men’s and Women’s Jail administration, the Booking Desk, the Public Safety Building Business Desk, the Court Affairs Office, and the “Live Scan” and Report Review Units. The “Live Scan” system is a means of processing fingerprints electronically. This unit assists thousands of applicants per year, both from City Departments as well as other public entities.   The Jail Division administers the third largest Type 1 city jail in California, housing over 18,000 inmates annually. The Booking Desk serves as the point of intake for these inmates. Most inmates have been convicted of minor, non-violent offenses and are serving their sentences. The remainder is arrestees awaiting their court arraignments.
