Cheviot Hills is a quiet Westside neighborhood, and a call about an arrest here can feel unreal. Jane Un Bail Bonds is a licensed California bail agent. You can reach us at (213) 725-2815, any hour of the day or night, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Cheviot Hills sits between Pico Boulevard and the Rancho Park area, with Motor Avenue and the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center as local landmarks. It is in ZIP 90064. The neighborhood has curving streets and a park with a golf course, and it is close to Century City and Beverly Hills.

The West Los Angeles station
Cheviot Hills is in LAPD's West Los Angeles Area. The station is at 1663 Butler Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90025, and the front desk number is 310-444-0701. That area also covers Westwood, Brentwood, Century City, Rancho Park and Pacific Palisades.
Our West Los Angeles station page lists more. Station staff can tell you if a person has been moved, but they may not share the charge or bail.
Because the station is on the far side of the Westside from downtown, it often helps to call us before you drive anywhere. We can check the booking details with you and tell you whether it makes sense to wait for a transfer.
The long ride downtown
Westside arrests usually go to the Metropolitan Detention Center at 180 N. Los Angeles St. We say usually, because LAPD can move people, and because it does not publish an area by area list. Our MDC page has the address, the phone and the visiting rules.
From Cheviot Hills, downtown is about 12 to 15 miles. Take the 10 east, and it is 20 to 30 minutes at night, and much longer on a weekday. The Metro E Line from the Westwood or Rancho Park stations also reaches downtown without a car.
Visiting rules apply to every guest, and they do not depend on where you live. One friend or family visit is allowed per day at LAPD jails. Attorneys and bail agents can visit at any time. Bring a photo ID and expect to leave your phone behind.
When the arrest was a DUI or a domestic call
Many Westside arrests involve DUI stops on Pico, Motor and Overland, or disputes inside a home. DUI cases often start with a blood or breath draw and a short hold. Domestic calls can lead to a hold with a protective order, and a judge may set conditions at the first hearing.
Neither of those is the end of the road. A bond can still be posted when bail is set, and we explain the conditions to the co-signer so nothing is a surprise.
Tell us if a protective order or a no contact condition is involved. It matters for where the person can stay after release, and we want the co-signer to understand the terms before anyone signs.
The court
Our records do not name a courthouse for West Los Angeles Area cases. Many people booked downtown have first appearances at the Central Arraignment Courthouse on Bauchet Street and later hearings at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center. The release paperwork names the actual court.
If you cannot find it, call us. Our guide on how bail works in Los Angeles explains the steps.
Court days in downtown Los Angeles mean traffic, security and parking. Arrive at least an hour early, and bring a printed copy of the notice in case your phone dies.
If you already have an attorney
Many Westside families have a lawyer they can call. When a private attorney is retained, the premium drops from 10% of bail to 8%. A veteran defendant or co-signer can also qualify for 8%.
Tell us at the start so we use the correct rate. We never recommend a lawyer. If you need one, our resources directory lists public defenders and legal aid.
The money, in plain numbers
With 1% down on approved credit, the first payment is small and the rest is paid monthly through Bail Today, Pay Later. On a $50,000 bail, 1% is $500 down and the premium is $5,000 at 10% or $4,000 at 8%.
On a $120,000 bail, 1% is $1,200 down, with a $12,000 premium at 10%. Larger bonds can require more review or collateral. Approval is required, and 1% is not the price.
Try your own figure in the calculator, then start the online application. It takes about 4 minutes.
If you are not sure what to pledge as collateral on a larger bond, tell us what you have, and we will say what can work. Collateral is returned when the case ends and the bond is exonerated, subject to the paperwork you sign.
Privacy and discretion
We understand that some families care a lot about privacy. We keep your information confidential and use it only for the bond. We do not call your employer, your neighbors or anyone else on your list unless you ask us to.
Court records are public, so we cannot hide an arrest. But a quick bond can help the person get back to work and family.
If the person is a public figure or worries about media attention, say so. We cannot control what the press sees in public records, but we can keep our own contacts quiet and quick.
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.
