Use the official Riverside County inmate-information system with the person's complete legal name and date of birth when available. Records may not appear immediately after an arrest.
Are Murrieta Police, Southwest Station, and Cois M. Byrd the same place?
No. Murrieta Police Department is the city's municipal police agency. Southwest Sheriff's Station is a separate Riverside County Sheriff station that provides law-enforcement services in the area.
