The Parma Police Department operates from 5555 Powers Blvd with about 95 officers serving a population near 80,000. Unlike most Ohio cities, Parma runs its own detention center at the same address. Inmates held more than 72 hours typically get moved to the Cuyahoga County Corrections Center. This page explains how Parma booking works, where to find inmate data, and what records you can get.
Parma Overview
Parma Detention Center Booking
The Parma Detention Center is at 5555 Powers Blvd, Parma, OH 44129. Phone is 440-885-1234. This facility is staffed 24 hours a day. When Parma police arrest someone, the person goes to the detention center first. Staff handle intake right there. They log charges, take fingerprints, photograph the person, and record booking details.
Parma is unusual in Ohio because it has its own lockup. Most cities send all arrests straight to the county jail. Parma does too, but only after the first 72 hours. If someone stays in custody past that point, they get transferred to the Cuyahoga County Corrections Center in Cleveland. The county facility processes roughly 41,000 offenders a year with an average daily count of about 2,050 inmates.
