The Village, the Vision and Degnan
Leimert Park Village is the heart of the neighborhood, with the Vision Theatre, Degnan Boulevard and Crenshaw Boulevard nearby. ZIP codes include 90008 and 90043. It borders Baldwin Hills, Exposition Park, Hyde Park, Jefferson Park, Vermont Square and West Adams.
Events in the Village bring crowds and street closures. If an arrest happens at one, the person may have no phone and no ID. Ask them to remember the arresting agency and the time.
Neighbors on nearby blocks often know the person who was arrested. Resist the urge to gather a crowd at the jail. Send one or two relatives, and keep everyone else informed by phone.
Southwest Division and the station
In our data, Leimert Park belongs to the LAPD Southwest Division. The station is at 1546 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. We do not have a verified desk number, so check the LAPD site before you call. See our Southwest station page. If you want a second source, the county line is 213-473-6100.
If the desk cannot help, ask which unit made the arrest. Some blocks near Hyde Park and Exposition Park sit close to other divisions.
The 77th Street jail, with a warning
Arrests in South Bureau usually go to the 77th Street Regional Jail at 7600 S. Broadway. News reports in late 2026 said it had no medical staff on site until January 2027, so some people have been sent to MDC downtown or the Valley for medical clearance. LAPD can move people at any time.
Look the person up at app.lasd.org/iic or call 213-473-6100 before you drive. The find someone in jail guide walks through each lookup.
Getting there and which court
Metro's K Line runs along Crenshaw, with a Leimert Park stop, and links to other lines. The 10 and the 110 freeways lead downtown, and Vernon, Slauson and Florence lead east toward Broadway. Parking at the jail is limited.
Start the online application on your phone while you travel. It takes about 4 minutes.
No court is confirmed for this area in our data. It depends on where the person is booked. Downtown bookings often lead to the Central Arraignment Courthouse on Bauchet Street or the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center on W. Temple Street. The paperwork shows the real room.
Our missed court date guide covers what to do if a date is missed. Calendar every date and set two reminders.
Paying, signing and support
Bail amounts can be hard. You pay a premium of 10% of the bail. That becomes 8% when a private attorney is retained or a veteran is the defendant or co-signer. Bail Today, Pay Later lets approved families begin with 1% of the bail down. The rest is paid monthly. Use the calculator.
A co-signer promises the person will go to court. Read the co-signer guide. If the person is a qualifying pregnant woman, see the pregnancy bail program, subject to approval. You can find public defenders and legal aid on the resources page. Nearby is Baldwin Hills and Crenshaw.
Festival weekends and street closures
Leimert Park Village hosts gatherings, drum circles, markets and music, and some weekends close streets and fill parking. If you are heading to the jail on one of those days, expect detours. Leave early, and use the K Line if you can.
A person arrested at a gathering often has friends who saw it happen. Ask them for the time, the street and what the officers said. Do not post details online. A post can hurt a case.
When the family arrives at the jail, bring the booking number or full name and birth date. Be patient with staff. They deal with hundreds of calls.
Who to call first, in order
Here is a simple order for the first hours.
- Look up the person at app.lasd.org/iic or call 213-473-6100.
- Write down the booking number, the charge and the bail amount.
- Call us at (213) 725-2815 and ask about 1% down on approved credit.
- Pick a co-signer with steady income and have them ready.
- Start the online application while you wait.
If any step stalls, skip to the next and come back. Our what to do after an arrest guide covers the same list.
Keep one more thing in mind. Calls from jail can drop without warning. If the call ends, do not panic. The person can call again, and the jail line at 213-473-6100 can tell you if they were moved. Save our number, (213) 725-2815, in your phone so you can reach us in a second.
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.
