Is bail posted at this station?
Families often drive to the station first, then find out the person is somewhere else. Bail is usually posted at the jail, not the station. For this area that jail is usually the Metropolitan Detention Center at 180 N. Los Angeles St. in downtown Los Angeles. Because LAPD can change where it books a person, call the station or call us to confirm.
If you want to complain about an officer
There are official ways. The station will take a complaint at the front desk or from the watch commander. LAPD's Professional Standards Bureau handles complaints through its own website. The Police Commission's Office of the Inspector General also takes complaints at (213) 893-6400, and its page is at oig.lacity.org. Save dates, places and names, and keep photos. A lawyer, not a bail agent, is the right person to ask about legal deadlines.
Property left at the scene or in a car
If a person's things were left at the scene or in a towed car, the station can often tell you which tow yard has the car. Items on the person usually travel with them to the jail and are returned when they are released. Anything kept as evidence takes longer. Call the front desk and ask who handles property for this division.
What 1% down means
1% down means a starting payment of 1% of the bail amount, on approved credit, through our Bail Today, Pay Later plan. After that you pay the balance of the premium monthly. The premium is 10% of bail, the filed rate, or 8% for a private attorney or a veteran defendant or co-signer. It is not a price of 1%. Read our guide on 1% down versus 10% bail or apply online.
If you are calling at night, you are not bothering us. We answer at any hour. Tell us what you know, even if it is little, and we will explain the next steps one at a time. A friend or attorney can call for the person too.
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.
