Arlington Heights is a small, mostly residential slice of Central Los Angeles, with Washington Boulevard, Arlington Avenue and West Adams Boulevard running through it. Most of it sits in ZIP 90019, with some in 90018. This page explains where an arrest here usually leads, how to find the person, and how to start a bond.
You do not need to have every detail. A name, the jail if you know it, and the charge are enough for us to begin.

Two police stations claim this neighborhood
Here is something most bail pages skip. LAPD lists Arlington Heights under two stations, Olympic and Wilshire. Our records place it mainly in the Olympic Area, but your loved one may have been picked up by officers from either one.
The Olympic station is at 1130 S. Vermont Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90006. The Wilshire station is at 4861 W. Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90019, and its front desk number is 213-473-0476. If you are not sure which one made the arrest, start with the jail locator below and let the booking record tell you.
Our pages for Olympic Area and Wilshire Area list what we know about each.
Where people from here usually go after booking
Arrests in Central and Mid-City areas usually end up at the Metropolitan Detention Center on Los Angeles Street downtown. We say usually because LAPD can move people between facilities, especially when a person needs medical clearance. Our MDC page has the address, phone and visiting hours.
The fastest way to confirm is the county locator at app5.lasd.org/iic, or the 24 hour information line at 213-473-6100. Search the last name and first name exactly as you think it was booked. A booking number appears once the person is in the system, and we will ask you for it.
If nothing shows up, wait an hour and try again. Booking is slow, and a person can be in a patrol car or a station holding cell before the record exists.
The drive downtown
From Arlington Heights, downtown is a short ride east on the Santa Monica Freeway, the 10, or up Western and Vermont to Wilshire and then toward the Civic Center. At night the 10 moves quickly. During the day, give yourself extra time near the 110 interchange.
Our LA office is at 900 Avila St Suite 101, Los Angeles CA 90012, a short walk from the downtown jails. You do not have to come in, though. A family member, friend or attorney can call us, and we can handle most of the process by phone and online.
Which court will hear the case
Cases that start at a downtown booking are usually heard downtown. The Central Arraignment Courthouse at 429 Bauchet St. handles many first appearances, and the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center at 210 W. Temple St. hears felony matters and hearings that follow. Confirm the exact court on the bail paperwork.
Write the date, time and department down the moment you have them. Missing a court date is the single most expensive mistake a family can make. Read our guide on missed court dates so you know why it matters.
How 1% down works on an approved bond
Premium is 10% of the bail amount, the rate we file with the California Department of Insurance. It drops to 8% when a private attorney is retained or when the defendant or the co-signer is a veteran. The rest of the premium goes on a monthly plan.
With 1% down on approved credit, a $25,000 bail means $250 down, against a $2,500 premium at 10%. The balance is paid in monthly payments under Bail Today, Pay Later, a program Jane started in 2004. Approval is required, and 1% is the down payment, never the price.
Try your own number in the bail calculator, then start the online application. It takes about 4 minutes and asks for no Social Security number online.
A note for pregnant women and their families
Qualifying pregnant women who are 8 months or more along may be eligible for a waived premium. The charge must be non-violent, bail $50,000 or less, and there must be a working co-signer with proof of income. It is subject to approval. If you do not seem to qualify, ask anyway, because we are often able to help.
Women booked into county custody are often held at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood. Read the details on our pregnancy program page.
1% down is a down payment on approved credit, not the price of the bond. The premium is the rate on file with the California Department of Insurance, 10% of the bail amount, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or you or the defendant is a veteran. The balance goes on a payment plan.
Questions people ask
Is Arlington Heights covered by the Olympic station?
Mostly, by our records, but LAPD also lists the neighborhood under Wilshire. The booking record is the quickest way to know which station made the arrest.
What do I need to have ready when I call?
The full name of the person, the jail if you know it, the charge, and the bail amount if someone told you. If you have none of that, call anyway and we will help you find it.
Can I start the process from out of town?
Yes. A relative anywhere can call or fill out the online application. The co-signer signs electronically, so you do not need to be in Los Angeles.
What does a co-signer actually promise?
The co-signer promises that the person will come to every court date and that the premium will be paid. Our guide on co-signer responsibilities lays it out in plain words.
Is the premium refundable?
Generally no. Once the bond is posted the premium is earned, even if charges are later dropped. Ask us about any special cases before you sign.
