Los Angeles jails, LAPD stations and where to post bail
By Jane Un, licensed bail agent #1843448. Updated October 29, 2026.
Where your person is held decides how bail gets posted. LAPD books arrests at one of its jails, usually the one for that bureau. People who stay in custody after arraignment move to the county jails run by the Sheriff.
