The Mission station, a short drive from home
Mission Hills is covered by LAPD's Mission Area. The station is at 11121 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Mission Hills, CA 91345, with a front desk number of 818-838-9800. The same station covers Arleta, North Hills, Panorama City and Sylmar.
If your relative was arrested here, the first stop is often this station. Our Mission station page lists what we know, and the desk can tell you whether the person is still there.
The desk phone is often busy, so a few families wait on hold for a long time. A quicker way is to open the county locator and search by name, then call us with what you see. We do not need every detail to start.
Moving on to the Valley Jail
After processing, Valley arrests usually go to the Valley Jail Section at 6240 Sylmar Ave. in Van Nuys. That is about 10 miles from Mission Hills by Sepulveda and the 405, or by the 118 and the 405. LAPD may move people for medical clearance, so confirm with the locator.
Our Valley Jail page lists the phone, 818-374-9645, and visiting hours, which run Monday through Friday mornings and afternoons, with weekend morning visits. Parking near Sylmar Avenue is limited, so give yourself some time.
Many families do not own a car, or share one among several adults. If that is you, the Metrolink and bus routes in the Valley are possible but slow, and there is usually no good way to reach Sylmar Avenue late at night. A ride share is often easier, and we can handle everything else by phone.
Spanish speaking families
Many families in Mission Hills and the neighboring areas speak Spanish at home. Ask for a Spanish speaking agent when you call, and we will try to connect you. We never promise a specific staff language, but we will not make you struggle through a hard conversation on your own.
If you are translating for a parent or a grandparent, we can go as slowly as you need. We repeat anything on request, including the numbers.
How the first court date works
Valley cases are commonly heard at the Van Nuys Courthouse East at 6230 Sylmar Ave., next door to the jail. After you read the paperwork you are given at release, write down the date, time and department. If you did not get paperwork, ask us for help finding it.
A first appearance is where bail may be set or changed, and where a lawyer is appointed if needed. Our resources directory lists public defenders and legal aid in case you need one.
If bail seems high for the charge, a judge can sometimes lower it at the first hearing. Ask your attorney or the public defender. A bond that is already posted can often be adjusted if the bail amount changes, and we will explain how that works for your case.
How to pay for the bond
Premium is 10% of the bail, the filed rate, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or a veteran is the defendant or co-signer. With 1% down on approved credit, the first payment is small and the rest is paid monthly under Bail Today, Pay Later.
If bail is $20,000, that is $200 down against a $2,000 premium at 10%. If bail is $5,000, that is $50 down against $500. Approval is required, and 1% is never the price.
Start the online application, which takes about 4 minutes and asks for no Social Security number online.
If a person has a private attorney or is a veteran, tell us so the 8% rate is used. We also set a monthly plan after approval, with payments you can handle, and we explain it in writing before you agree.
Neighbors and nearby areas
Mission Hills touches Granada Hills, Sylmar, Pacoima and Panorama City. If your arrest was across the line, our pages for Pacoima and Sylmar may help, and the same station and jail often apply.
The San Fernando Mission is a landmark that brings weekend visitors, and the stretch of Sepulveda and Brand has restaurants and shops that stay busy at night. An arrest after a family party or a night out is more common than people think.
The old mission grounds draw tour buses and school trips by day, but the evening scene along the boulevards brings a different crowd. Night time arrests here often involve driving, noise complaints, domestic calls or fights outside a venue. Whatever the cause, the steps afterward are the same.
Co-signer checklist
A co-signer is usually an adult relative or friend with proof of income. Bring photo ID, a recent pay stub, and an employer phone number. Our guide on co-signer responsibilities explains exactly what you are promising.
Do not cosign for someone you do not trust to show up. A co-signer is promising the court date and the payments. If you have doubts, talk to us first, and we will tell you honestly about your options.
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.
