Game days, park gates and where borders blur
Elysian Park is the big hillside park that holds Dodger Stadium and the Los Angeles Police Academy. In our data the area falls under the LAPD Northeast Division, with the station on San Fernando Road. The edges of the park run close to Echo Park, Chinatown and Lincoln Heights, so a few blocks can mean a different station. Read our Northeast station page and the Rampart page if the arrest was on the Echo Park side.
On busy event nights officers from several units work the same streets. Ask the person which officers made the arrest if they can say, and ask the station desk where the booking happened. The Northeast desk is at 323-561-3211.
Where people booked here usually go
Arrests in this part of Central Bureau usually end at the Metropolitan Detention Center on Los Angeles Street. That is a short drive from the park by the 110 or the 5. It is still smart to call the line at 213-473-6100 to confirm, since LAPD can move people when a facility is full or when medical care is needed.
When someone is booked, they get a booking number and a bail amount if the charge carries one. Some charges have no bail, and some need a judge. Our how bail works guide explains each case in plain words.
Families sometimes ask whether the Police Academy on the hillside plays a role in an arrest. It does not change where the person is booked. It is a training site, not a jail. If you see it named in a news story, ignore that detail and focus on the station and the booking number.
The short trip downtown
From the park, Stadium Way and Academy Road lead to the 110 Pasadena Freeway, and the 5 runs just east. Either one takes you to downtown in a few minutes when traffic is light. After a night game, it is not light.
Park near Los Angeles Street and bring a photo ID. We can help you decide whether to come in person or to do everything by phone and by our online application. It takes about 4 minutes.
Which court hears the case
Our data lists the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center on W. Temple Street for many downtown cases. Some first appearances are at the Central Arraignment Courthouse at 429 Bauchet St., next to the county jail complex. Check the paper the person is given at release. It shows where to go.
If the person lives close to the park, plan the route to court early. Missing the date can cost the bond. See what happens in the missed court date guide.
Parking at the courthouses fills early on weekdays. Public lots near Temple Street and Bauchet Street run all day, and rideshare is often easier than hunting for a spot. Allow extra time, and bring your ID, the court notice and anything the judge asked the person to bring.
Paying with 1% down
Start with 1% of the bail amount down on approved credit through Bail Today, Pay Later. The premium itself is 10% of the bail, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or the defendant or co-signer is a veteran. The rest is paid in monthly parts that fit a budget.
Use the calculator to see your numbers, and read why 1% down differs from paying 10% up front.
If someone moves to county custody
After arraignment, some people are moved from the city jail to the county system at the Inmate Reception Center on Bauchet Street. Bail can still be posted. Call us and we will check the right place. You can look up the person at app.lasd.org/iic.
What families around the park ask us
Neighbors of Elysian Park are often homeowners and renters who have lived on the hillsides for years. Their calls to us tend to start the same way. A son was stopped on his way home. A daughter was at a gathering that got out of hand. A brother was picked up on a warrant he forgot about.
Each of these needs a different answer. A warrant arrest has a bail amount written on it already. A new charge gets its amount from the county schedule unless a judge says otherwise. A traffic stop that turns into a DUI arrest is often among the lower bail types, though the number can still feel large.
We read the booking sheet with you, say what the amount means and show what 1% down on approved credit looks like on that number. You decide. There is no pressure. If you need more time, take it, but remember that every hour in jail counts for the person inside.
Not sure whether to hire a lawyer? We cannot recommend one. The resources directory lists public defenders, court self help centers and legal aid you can contact yourself. A private attorney can lower the premium rate to 8%, which is one reason people ask us about it early.
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.
