Is bail posted at this station?
Here is the short version. The station is the local office. The jail is where booking and bail usually take place. For an arrest in this area, that is usually the Valley Jail Section at 6240 Sylmar Ave. in Van Nuys. LAPD can move people, and it does not publish which area goes where, so please call to confirm.

What about their belongings?
Belongings are usually held at the jail until release. Property held for evidence is a different matter and may stay with LAPD longer. For either one, call the station front desk and ask what to bring. Plan to show photo ID. If a car or bike was impounded, ask which lot has it, because storage charges often grow each day.
Complaints about police conduct
You do not need a bond to file a complaint. Ask the station front desk or the watch commander. You can also use LAPD's Professional Standards Bureau through lapdonline.org, or call the Office of the Inspector General at (213) 893-6400. It is part of the Police Commission's oversight and has its own site at oig.lacity.org. Write everything down while it is fresh. We are not lawyers and do not advise on the case.
How 1% down works
Bail Today, Pay Later lets you start with 1% of the bail amount down on approved credit. The rest of the premium goes on a monthly plan. The premium is 10% of the bail, which is the filed rate, or 8% if a private attorney is retained or the defendant or co-signer is a veteran. 1% down is the first payment, not the price. Try the calculator or start the online application, about 4 minutes with no SSN online. Read more on 1% down.
Have a pen ready. We will ask for the person's name, birth date and booking number, and we will ask who will be the co-signer. Our cosigner guide explains that role in plain words, so it is worth a quick read before you sign.
You can reach us 24 hours a day at (213) 725-2815. We are a private licensed bail agent, California Department of Insurance License #1843448. We are not part of LAPD or LASD. Our guide on what to do after an arrest is a good next read.
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.
