West Los Angeles Division and the Butler Avenue station
Brentwood is in LAPD West Los Angeles Division. The station is at 1663 Butler Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90025, phone 310-444-0701. Our West Los Angeles station page has the details.
The division also covers Westwood, Sawtelle and the Veterans Administration grounds. Brentwood has the ZIP code 90049, and it runs along San Vicente Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard and the 405. It borders Bel Air, Pacific Palisades and Encino.
Station staff can tell you whether the person is in the building, but they may not know the next move. Ask for the booking number. It helps when you search online and when you call us.
A long way to the booking jail
In our data, West Bureau arrests are usually booked at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, 180 N. Los Angeles St. That is an inference, and LAPD can move people. Some West Bureau arrestees have also been sent to the Valley jail for medical clearance.
From Brentwood, downtown is about 15 miles. Take the 405 south to the 10 east. At night the drive takes about 30 minutes, and at rush hour it can take over an hour. Call 213-473-6100 to confirm before you leave.
The downtown jail takes bail around the clock. Visiting is limited, and a bail agent can usually see a client at times a family cannot. Parking nearby is paid, and a rideshare is often easier than a long drive after midnight.
Arrests around the Country Mart and San Vicente
Brentwood is known for the Getty Center, San Vicente Boulevard and its shops and restaurants, with winding hillside streets above. Most arrests we hear about involve DUI stops after dinner, domestic disputes, theft and drug charges. Some involve visitors and employees who commute in, so the family may live in another city.
If you want a calm, private process, say so on the first call. We treat what you tell us as private.
If the arrest was at a hospital, school or campus, other agencies may be involved first. Tell us where it happened so we can help you work out who holds the person. Families in Brentwood also call us after a car stop on the way home from the Westside.
Court, and what our data does not say
Our records do not list a standard courthouse for West Los Angeles arrests. Cases may begin downtown at the Central Arraignment Courthouse, 429 Bauchet St., or at another court depending on the charge. The paperwork from booking shows the date and room.
If you cannot tell, call us. We will help you find the right courtroom. Read what to do after an arrest.
Once you have a date, put it in your phone and on paper. Bring a photo ID, dress neatly and arrive early. If a private attorney is representing the person, they can often tell you the room in advance. Our resources directory at /resources/ lists public defenders and legal aid if one is needed.
Court days run long, so clear your schedule and arrange a ride.
Everyone who may be called as a co-signer should know the date and room as well.
Co-signers and approval
A co-signer is an adult who promises the person will go to every court date and who agrees to the balance. Many Brentwood families have a parent or spouse with steady income. Approval is never guaranteed, and we explain what to bring. Read about co-signer responsibilities.
If a private attorney is retained, the premium drops to 8%, which can lower the cost.
Self-employed professionals, entertainment workers and retirees are common here. Bring recent bank statements, a tax form or a pension letter. We will tell you if more is needed.
Cost and 1% down
The rate we file is 10% of the bail, falling to 8% for a retained private attorney or a veteran defendant or co-signer. With Bail Today, Pay Later, you can begin with 1% down on approved credit and settle the balance monthly.
On a $75,000 bail, the 10% premium is $7,500, and the down payment is $750 on approved credit. The calculator shows your number. Start at the application. It takes roughly 4 minutes, and no SSN goes in online.
Neighbors in Westwood and Bel Air go through the same station.
Many Brentwood families prefer to pay down a bond in monthly steps rather than tie up savings overnight. That is what the plan is for.
A co-signer and proof of income may be needed, along with approval. If the defendant or co-signer is a veteran, the premium is 8% instead of 10%. We go over every number before you sign anything.
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.
