Barstow Arrests: Police, Sheriff and Transfers
Two agencies make most arrests in the Barstow area. The Barstow Police Department is at 220 E. Mountain View Street, Suite B, Barstow, CA 92311, and handles the city. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Barstow station covers the surrounding unincorporated desert. Knowing which agency made the arrest helps when you call to confirm custody.
Local holding is short-term. People who remain in custody longer are often transferred to High Desert Detention Center, 9438 Commerce Way, Adelanto, the Sheriff's main jail for the High Desert. That move is why a person may first be reported in Barstow and later listed in Adelanto.
Barstow is about 77 miles from our San Bernardino office. We serve Barstow from that office, and paperwork can usually be signed remotely.
