LASD Inmate Locator
When someone is arrested in Downey, their first stop will be at the Downey Police Station where they will undergo booking and processing. The procedure doesn’t take very long itself, and can often be done in as little as 45 minutes. However, if the police station is busy at the time of arrest, it can take several hours before booking and processing is completed.
Inmates will only remain at the Downey Police Station for up to 72 hours. After that, or if the jail becomes crowded beforehand, police will begin to transfer inmates to one of Los Angeles’ larger jails. Men are usually sent to Twin Towers while women are transferred to CRDF a.k.a. the Lynwood Jail. The transfer process can take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours before its completed. During this period, inmates will be unable to be bailed out. When the bail bond process is begun and the inmate is still located at the Downey Police Station, transfer can often be avoided altogether.
How Bail is Set
During booking and processing, inmates will have their photographs taken, fingerprints recorded and police will conduct a national background check to look for additional warrants. Only after all of these things have been completed will bail be set.
Bail amounts will vary depending on the number and severity of crimes that an individual is charged with. All bail amounts are set pursuant to the Los Angeles County Bail Schedule.
How to Bail Someone Out
To begin, give us a call and provide us with the name, birth date and date and time of arrest of the person you want to bail out of jail. If not all of this information is available, don’t worry, we can still help you out. We’ll use the info you provide to locate your friend or loved one within the system and verify their eligibility for bail. Then, we have you fill out the short, simple bail bond application forms and sign the indemnitor’s agreement. Last, we provide you with a receipt and send someone to the jail. Your friend or loved one will be released a short time later.
If you’re out of the area, or can’t meet with us in person, we can easily handle the bail bond process via phone, fax or email.
