Vermont Knolls Bail Bonds, Call Day or Night
By Jane Un, licensed bail agent #1843448. Updated October 29, 2026.
Vermont Knolls is a neighborhood of small homes and long time neighbors along Vermont Avenue, south of Slauson. When the phone rings with a call from jail, everything stops. We are here, and we answer at any hour.
I am Jane Un, a licensed California bail agent. You do not need to know the bail amount. A name and a date of birth are enough to start, and a parent, a spouse, a friend or a lawyer can make the call.

Your station is 77th Street
Vermont Knolls is served by the LAPD 77th Street Area, and the station sits at Broadway and 77th Street. See our 77th Street station page for the address and front desk number.
Next door is the 77th Street Regional Jail. South Bureau arrests are usually booked there, but a news report says it has no medical staff until January 2027, so some people go downtown or to the Valley. Confirm by calling 213-473-6100 before you leave the house.
Vermont, Manchester and the way there
Vermont Avenue runs north and south through the middle of the neighborhood, with Slauson Avenue on the north edge and Manchester Avenue to the south. The jail is a few minutes west and north by car, along Manchester Avenue or Slauson Avenue to Broadway.
Buses run on Vermont Avenue day and night, and the Metro C Line stops at Vermont and Athens near the 105. A car or a rideshare is quicker late at night, and the 110 Freeway is close by if you need to go downtown.
Bring ID, a charger and patience. The wait can be long, but a bond is something we can move along while you travel.
A neighborhood of homeowners and renters
Plenty of Vermont Knolls families own their homes, and many have for decades. Others rent in small buildings, sometimes a few blocks from relatives. People here help each other, and often several relatives pool money for a bond.
That can be a good plan. Just remember one person has to be the cosigner. The others can contribute to the premium, and we can write down how the payments will work. We want everyone to be on the same page before signing.
If anyone is thinking about using a house as security, call us first and ask what is needed. Collateral is not required in every case. See whether bail money is returned before deciding how to pay.
What to expect on the phone with us
Many people have never called a bail agent before and do not know what we will ask. Here is what a first call usually covers, so nothing surprises you.
- The full name and date of birth of the person in custody.
- Where they are held and the bail amount, if you know them.
- Your name, your relationship and how we can reach you.
- Whether you have hired a private attorney or whether anyone is a veteran, since either can lower the premium rate to 8%.
- Who might cosign, and whether they work and can show income.
We will tell you, in plain words, what the premium is, what the first payment would be and what the monthly plan looks like. We will not push you. If you want to think, you can call back, though a bond moves faster when it starts soon.
When you are ready, the cosigner finishes the application and we review it. If approved, we file the bond with the jail. After that, release depends on the jail, and nobody can promise a time. We will keep you updated until the person is out, and we will remind you about the court date.
If anything on the paperwork looks wrong, a misspelled name or a wrong birth date, tell us right away. Small mistakes slow things down, and they are easy to fix early.
Real numbers for a real decision
Premium is 10% of the bail, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or the defendant or co-signer is a veteran. We never call 1% the price. With approved credit, 1% down starts the bond and the balance is paid monthly.
| Bail | Premium at 10% | Premium at 8% | 1% down |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $1,000 | $800 | $100 |
| $35,000 | $3,500 | $2,800 | $350 |
The plan is Bail Today, Pay Later, and you can try the calculator to see your own figures.
Court and the days after release
We cannot name the courthouse for most South Bureau cases with certainty. The paperwork shows the court and the date. The Los Angeles Superior Court website also lets you look up a case.
The person must go to each date. If something comes up, call the lawyer and us before the day. A missed date can put the bond at risk, and our guide on missed court dates explains the rules.
If a lawyer is not affordable, the resources directory points to public defenders and legal aid.
If the person is pregnant
Qualifying pregnant women, 8 months or more along, with bail of $50,000 or less on a non-violent charge and a working co-signer with proof of income, may be eligible for free bail with the premium waived, subject to approval. If she does not qualify, ask anyway, we are often able to help. She may be held at the women's jail in Lynwood. See the program page.
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.
