Dublin Police Services — Station Overview
Dublin Police Services is Alameda County's one real exception to an otherwise almost entirely independently-policed county — the only city, out of 14, that contracts with the Alameda County Sheriff's Office rather than running its own department. The unit is led by Chief Victor Fox, an ACSO commander; his predecessor, Chief Nate Schmidt, retired in October 2024.
The station operates from 6361 Clark Avenue in Dublin, with the Chief's office at (925) 833-6670 and non-emergency dispatch at (925) 462-1212. An earlier reference listed the unit at 100 Civic Plaza — the city's own government site confirms 6361 Clark Avenue as the current address.
Because the arresting deputies in Dublin are already Sheriff's Office personnel, the county custody record typically appears sooner here than it does after a city-department arrest anywhere else in the county — there is no city-to-county transfer step.

- Dublin arrests are Sheriff's Office arrests from the first minute — the county custody record usually appears without the transfer delay seen in independent-PD cities.
- For custody information after booking, the Santa Rita Jail line at (925) 551-6500 is the direct answer.
What We Have Not Confirmed
- — The East County Hall of Justice sits in the same city and is the strongest courthouse candidate in the county, but the Superior Court publishes no per-city assignment for adult criminal cases — the notice to appear governs.
- — How long a Dublin arrestee is held at the station before transfer to Santa Rita Jail has not been independently confirmed.

What Families Say
“They confirmed my husband was already at Santa Rita before I drove all the way to Dublin. I would have shown up at the wrong place in Oakland.”
Marisol R. · Alameda County, CA
“Called after midnight and someone picked up who knew the booking process. Straight numbers, no pressure, everything signed from my phone.”
Devon T. · Alameda County, CA
“They wrote down the next court date and explained what happens if it's missed. Nobody else took the time to do that.”
Angela P. · Alameda County, CA

Booking & Custody Process
A Dublin arrest skips the step that slows down every other city in this county: the arresting deputies are already county personnel, so booking moves toward Santa Rita Jail — minutes away, in the same city — without a city-to-county transfer.
Arrest by Sheriff's deputies
Dublin Police Services deputies are Alameda County Sheriff's Office personnel. There is no separate city department and no city holding facility in the timeline.
Booking toward Santa Rita Jail
Anyone not cited and released is booked into the county jail system — Santa Rita Jail, 5325 Broder Boulevard, physically inside Dublin itself.
Classification and housing
Santa Rita staff take fingerprints, photographs, and property, run warrants checks, and assign a housing classification.
Bail is set
Bail is set from the countywide bail schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b, before anyone sees a judge.
Posting the bond
We post directly at Santa Rita Jail. Premiums are regulated under Insurance Code §1800 — 10% of the bond, with as low as 1% down for qualifying cosigners on a written plan.
How To Post Bail At Dublin Police Services
Dublin is the one city in Alameda County where we can usually confirm custody status fastest — the arrest, the jail, and the courthouse all sit inside the same city limits.
Bail Is Set At Booking
Under Penal Code §1269b, the county bail schedule fixes an amount at booking, before anyone sees a judge. That is the figure the bond is written against.
Penal Code §1269bThe Court Can Change It
Penal Code §1270.1 requires a hearing before release on certain serious charges, and a judge can raise, lower, or attach conditions at arraignment.
Penal Code §1270.1The Premium Is Regulated
Insurance Code §1800 governs bail premiums in California — 10% of the bond, with as low as 1% down for qualifying cosigners on a written plan.
Insurance Code §1800Before Anything Is Signed
Give us a full legal name and date of birth and we confirm the exact facility and the current bail amount before posting. In Alameda County that usually means confirming the transfer into Santa Rita Jail is complete, since nearly every city arrests through its own department first. The Sheriff's Office does not recommend or direct families to any bail agent — that choice is yours.
Nearby Courthouses
Dublin holds its own Superior Court location — the nearest courthouse is not an estimate, it's in the same city.
East County Hall of Justice
5151 Gleason Drive, Dublin, CA 94568
Physically located in Dublin at (925) 227-6700 — the strongest courthouse candidate in this entire county's build given the direct co-location. The court still publishes no per-city assignment for adult criminal cases, so the courthouse named on the notice to appear remains the authority.

Does the Sheriff really police Dublin?
Yes. Dublin Police Services is staffed by Alameda County Sheriff's Office personnel under contract with the city — the only arrangement of its kind among Alameda County's 14 cities.
Where is someone taken after a Dublin arrest?
Into the county jail system — Santa Rita Jail at 5325 Broder Boulevard, which is physically inside Dublin. There is no city-to-county transfer delay because the arresting deputies are already county personnel.
Which courthouse hears a Dublin case?
The East County Hall of Justice at 5151 Gleason Drive is in Dublin itself and is the strongest candidate in the county. The court publishes no per-city assignment, so the courthouse on the notice to appear governs.
What is the correct address for Dublin Police Services?
6361 Clark Avenue, Dublin, CA 94568, per the city's own government site. An older reference to 100 Civic Plaza is outdated.
What do I need to post bail for someone arrested in Dublin?
A full legal name and date of birth. We confirm housing status and the bail amount at Santa Rita Jail, then the premium is 10% of the bond — as low as 1% down for qualifying cosigners on a written plan.
