Pico, Overland and the golf course
Rancho Park lies around the Rancho Park Golf Course, Pico Boulevard and Overland Avenue, with ZIP code 90064. It borders Cheviot Hills, Mar Vista, Palms, Sawtelle and West Los Angeles. The Expo line's Westwood and Rancho Park stop is close.
Arrests here may come from traffic stops on Pico, events near the park or calls to a home.
Rancho Park is close to Century City, Sawtelle and Westwood, and people from many places pass through. If the person was arrested away from home, ask where, because the station follows the street, not the home address.

Getting downtown and which court

Paying and support
The bail amount follows the charge. Premium runs 10% of the bail, the filed rate, and drops to 8% if a private attorney is retained or a veteran is the defendant or co-signer. Join Bail Today, Pay Later and the first step is 1% of the bail down, on approved credit. The rest is paid monthly. Use the calculator.
Signing as co-signer means you vouch that the person will return to court. Read the co-signer guide. For a qualifying woman who is pregnant, our pregnancy bail program may apply, subject to approval. Our resources page lists legal help. Nearby is Palms.
Pico Boulevard, events and the driving stop
Pico Boulevard is a main road, and arrests here often start with a traffic stop. A tired driver after a long shift, a night out near the golf course or a missed red light can lead to a DUI charge. Bail comes from the county schedule unless a judge changes it.
If the person was driving, ask where the car went. A towed car adds cost and a deadline. The station desk can help with the tow yard.
When the person is released, bring a charged phone and a ride home. Many people leave jail with nothing but their papers.
Metro, rideshare and the ride back
The E Line runs from Westwood and Rancho Park to downtown, but it does not run all night. If the person is released after service ends, plan a rideshare.
From the downtown stop you can reach Los Angeles Street by bus or rideshare. If you are driving, the 10 east is direct, and traffic can be heavy on weekday afternoons. Park near Los Angeles Street and bring your ID.
We can often finish the paperwork by phone and the online application, so you do not wait in line. Ask when you call (213) 725-2815.
One last thing worth knowing. A jail call is brief, recorded and may cut off at any time. Jot down what you heard, then phone us at (213) 725-2815. Keep the case out of the jail phone conversation. Save that talk for a lawyer. We handle the bond, and we can begin before every detail is known.
A final word on money. Collect what you can on the co-signer such as job, phone and address. Our apply page lists what to have ready. Families who prepare tend to finish sooner, yet you can call before you are ready. If you wonder how long a case may last, a lawyer or the public defender can say more. Our resources page lists places to start.
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.
