How do I find out if my family member or friend has been arrested?

  • Chicago Police Department “Central Booking” (312) 745-5202  

    With a correct full name and date of birth, one can find out if a family member is currently under arrest; which police district he/she/they is located at; and when they are expected to be brought to court for a detention hearing.
