Cypress Park at a glance

Northeast Division on San Fernando Road

Cypress Park is served by the LAPD Northeast Division. The station is at 3353 San Fernando Road, close to the Los Angeles River and the Glassell Park border. Northeast also covers Highland Park, Eagle Rock and Mount Washington, so this station is a busy one.

Arrests in the area are usually booked at the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown, about five miles south. LAPD can transfer people, so call to confirm. Our Northeast station page lists the front desk, and the MDC page covers what happens next.

Finding your way to the jail

From Figueroa Street or San Fernando Road, the quickest drive is onto the 110 Arroyo Seco Parkway or the 5, then toward downtown. It is a short ride at night. During the day, expect the 5 and 110 to slow near the Four Level Interchange.

You can also ride the A Line from the Lincoln/Cypress station, which sits at the edge of Cypress Park. It goes to Union Station, and from there you can walk toward the Civic Center. Our office at 900 Avila St is near Union Station too, so some families stop in on the way.

Who calls us from Cypress Park

Cypress Park is a close neighborhood. Families have often lived here for decades, and the library, the schools and the river path are part of daily life. When someone is arrested, a parent, a partner or an adult child usually calls us, and sometimes a neighbor helps the family make the call.

Ask whoever calls to have the person's full name, the date of birth and the arresting area ready. If the person was picked up near the river, the freeways or Figueroa Street, say so. That helps us find the right booking record. What to do after an arrest is a short guide you can read while you wait on hold anywhere else.

Money, premium and monthly payments

The premium is 10% of the bail, which is our filed rate. It is 8% if a private attorney is retained or the defendant or co-signer is a veteran. You start with 1% down on approved credit, and the rest is paid in monthly payments.

• With $8,000 bail, the premium is $800, and 1% down is $80.
• With $45,000 bail, the premium is $4,500, and 1% down is $450.

Do not spend your rent money on a cash bail if a bond is available. Compare options in 1% down versus 10% bail, and use the calculator for your own case.

Spanish and community help

Many Cypress Park families speak Spanish at home, and we want everyone to understand what they sign. Ask for a Spanish speaking agent. We try to connect you.

Our resources directory is free. It lists public defenders, court help centers and legal aid. If a pregnant woman is in custody, tell us. Qualifying women may receive free bail, with the premium waived, subject to approval and a working co-signer with proof of income. Read the program page. If you do not think you qualify, ask anyway.

Court, dates and follow up

For downtown bookings, the arraignment is usually at the court on Bauchet Street, and felonies continue at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center on West Temple Street. Write down every date from the release papers the minute you get them. A missed date is serious. Our guide on missed court dates explains the risk.

We also serve Glassell Park and Lincoln Heights. Start the paperwork at /apply/, which takes about four minutes with no Social Security number typed online.

If your person is moved

After arraignment, some people stay in custody and move to the county's Inmate Reception Center on Bauchet Street, then to Twin Towers or Men's Central Jail. Women go to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood. If that happens, tell us. A bond can still be posted, and we will help you find out where they are now.

You can always check the county locator or call 213-473-6100 for the current location. Do not rely on a relative's guess. Moves happen quickly, and it is easy for information to be old by the time it reaches you. We would rather help you check twice than send you to the wrong building at 4 in the morning.

One more tip for northeast families. If you are caring for children or an older relative while your person is in custody, tell us. We cannot fix everything, but we can keep the bond process simple so you can get back to them. Do the online application when the kids are asleep, and leave the phone call for when you can talk without interruptions.

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.
