Access Livonia Recent Bookings
Livonia recent bookings are handled through the Wayne County Jail system. Livonia has about 95,000 residents and sits in the northwest part of Wayne County. When Livonia police make an arrest, the person goes to a Wayne County jail facility for booking. You can look up current inmates through the Sheriff Connect search tool online. The tool is free to use and shows booking details including charges, bond amounts, and the facility where someone is held. For arrest reports and local police records, the Livonia Police Department handles those requests separately.
