Calabasas, California Public Records

The LA Metro Transit Authority maintains its own transit police force, while the California Highway Patrol covers freeways and unincorporated territory. LAPD publishes crime data at data.lacity.org. Under SB 2 (2023), all California law enforcement agencies must proactively disclose sustained misconduct records, use-of-force incidents, and officer-involved shooting investigations.

To locate a current inmate, residents can use the LASD Inmate Information Center at app5.lasd.org and search by name or booking number. Bail bond information, court dates, and housing location are available through the online system. For inmates held in city jails, Long Beach, Pasadena, Burbank, and others, contact each municipality's police department directly.

California Proposition 57 (2016) and AB 1950 (2021) have modified certain sentence and probation rules that affect how long records remain visible. Individuals may petition LA Superior Court to expunge eligible convictions under Penal Code §1203.4, effectively dismissing the conviction for most purposes.

Those who miss that deadline can use conditional voter registration through Election Day. Registration requires a California driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number, along with residence address and date of birth. The city conducts municipal elections for City Council seats under a council-manager form of government. Five council members serve staggered four-year terms, with elections held in even-numbered years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March. The next municipal election is scheduled for March 2026. Candidate filing information and campaign finance disclosures for municipal candidates are available through the City Clerk's Office at City Hall, while county and state candidate information flows through the Los Angeles County and California Secretary of State websites. Residents can find their assigned vote center locations through the County Registrar's website by entering their address. California implemented the Voter's Choice Act in Los Angeles County for the 2020 election, replacing traditional precinct polling places with regional vote centers open for multiple days before and on Election Day. State public records law provides access to voter registration information excluding confidential data such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and signatures. Campaign finance records are publicly accessible through the California Fair Political Practices Commission and local filing offices for municipal candidates. In the November 2024 presidential election, Los Angeles County reported approximately 63% voter turnout among registered voters, with over 3.7 million ballots cast. For the November 3, 2026 general election, California voters will decide the Governor's race, all statewide constitutional offices including Attorney General, Secretary of State, Controller, and Treasurer, all 80 State Assembly seats, 20 State Senate seats in even-numbered districts, and all 52 U.S. House seats representing the state. No U.S. Senate seat is scheduled for election in 2026. County voters will also decide on offices including Sheriff, Assessor, and Board of Supervisors seats where applicable, plus any ballot measures referred by the county or state legislature. Local residents may vote on ballot measures or City Council races depending on what appears on the March 2026 municipal ballot. California offers mail-in voting to all registered voters, and all currently receive mail ballots automatically under state law. Any voter can request a vote-by-mail ballot through the County Registrar's website or by completing an application. Mail ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received within seven days to be counted, or can be deposited in official drop boxes through 8:00 PM on Election Day.
