Fowler, CA
Real detail: Fowler shares 911 and non-emergency dispatch services with the Fresno County Sheriff's Office, alongside Sanger, Kerman, Kingsburg, Mendota, Orange Cove and Fowler — the six cities named on FCSO's own Communications page — while maintaining its own independent police department for patrol and response. County dispatchers answer the 911 call; Fowler officers make the arrest.
Fowler has about 6,950 residents — one of the smaller cities in this county's network, and small enough that its department is a handful of officers rather than a division-based agency.
The Fowler Police Department is on South 5th Street, under Chief of Police Lee Klemme. Independent police-agency directories give the address as 128 South 5th Street with a phone of (559) 834-3254, and they agree with each other, but we have not confirmed the exact street number on the city's own department page. Treat the number as unverified until the city confirms it.
Reedley, Selma, Sanger, Kingsburg, Parlier and Fowler sit inside the same southeastern part of the county that the Fresno County Sheriff's Office covers as its Area 3 patrol region. That is a Sheriff's patrol boundary, not a court assignment — and it makes no difference to venue here, because every city in Fresno County is served by the same downtown Fresno County Courthouse.
Every Fowler case is heard at the Fresno County Courthouse (Downtown), 1100 Van Ness Avenue, Fresno, CA 93724 — the primary criminal courthouse for all of Fresno County. Fresno County Superior Court runs no branch courthouses outside the city of Fresno, so there is no regional court location to sort out here. Traffic infractions specifically are heard at the "M" Street Courthouse, 2317 Tuolumne Street. The courthouse printed on the notice to appear governs.
In a small city, an arrest can move into county custody quickly — or sit at the department for hours. Call us with a name and date of birth and we confirm the actual location and the bail amount before you travel.

Arrest & Booking — What Happens First
Every Fowler arrest follows the same path. Here is each step, with the real contact at each one.
Find An InmateArrest and initial holding
A Fowler arrest is made by Fowler Police Department officers. The department can hold and process someone at its own facility before any transfer into county custody, which is why a county custody search in the first hours can legitimately come back empty.
Transfer into county custody
Anyone not cited and released moves into the Fresno County Sheriff's Office jail system in downtown Fresno. We are not naming individual buildings, addresses or housing units until each one is confirmed against the Sheriff's own sources, so we confirm the exact location by phone rather than assuming it.
Bail is set
Once booking is complete, bail is usually set from the countywide bail schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b. A judge can raise, lower, or eliminate it at arraignment.
Posting the bond
The licensed agent we connect you with posts directly with the facility holding your loved one. Premiums are regulated under Insurance Code §1800 and run 10% of the bail amount, with as low as 1% down for qualifying cosigners.
Fowler Police Department — Official Sources
Every number and address below is an official government source — the station that polices Fowler, the county department that runs the jails, and the intake facility a Fowler booking passes through. When information conflicts, trust these over any third-party site.

Fresno County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office runs the county jail system in downtown Fresno. A city-police arrest only appears in county custody once the transfer is complete. We have deliberately not published facility names, addresses or visiting details until each is confirmed against FCSO's own sources.
Superior Court of California, County of Fresno
The court that hears Fresno County criminal cases. All five of its locations are inside the city of Fresno; the Fresno County Courthouse at 1100 Van Ness Avenue is the primary criminal courthouse for the entire county.

County Custody
BookingA booking from Fowler is processed inside the Fresno County Sheriff's Office jail system. The Sheriff's Office routes by classification rather than by city of arrest, so we do not name a specific facility here — call us with a name and date of birth and we confirm the exact location before you drive anywhere.

Where Bail Is Set
Bail is set once booking is complete, regardless of whether the arrest came from Fowler Police Department. Most bail amounts follow the countywide schedule set under Penal Code §1269b — not a city-specific schedule — and a judge can raise or lower it at arraignment. If you cannot locate your loved one right after a Fowler-area arrest, call us and we will tell you exactly where they are.

Fresno County Superior CourtBail Amounts In Fowler — And What It Costs You
Bail set at booking follows Fresno County's uniform bail schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b, so amounts in Fowler match the countywide figures — there is no separate Fowler schedule. Premiums are regulated under Insurance Code §1800 and typically run 10% of the bail amount.
Bail Payment Breakdown
| Total Bail Amount | 10% Premium (Total Cost) | 1% Down (To Start) |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $500 | $50 |
| $10,000 | $1,000 | $100 |
| $25,000 | $2,500 | $250 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 |
Examples only. The 1% tier requires approved credit and a qualifying cosigner.
How The Math Works
Bail is set at $25,000. California's regulated premium is 10%, so your cost is $2,500. The Bail Network posts the full $25,000 with the court. The premium is earned and non-refundable once the bond is posted — that is California Insurance Code §1800, not our policy. Qualifying families can arrange payment plans starting as low as 1% down.
What Bail Costs By Charge Level
Legal Authority
Bail schedules are set by the Fresno County Superior Court judges in accordance with California Penal Code §1269b. Specific amounts may vary based on prior convictions and special circumstances.
Payment Plans — How Families Actually Pay
The premium is regulated, but how you pay it is not one-size-fits-all. Qualifying families can start as low as 1% down and pay the balance on a written schedule.
Payment Plans
Flexible schedules on the premium itself — ask about monthly arrangements built around what you actually earn.
Collateral Options
Many bonds, especially lower-tier misdemeanors and first-offense DUIs, do not require collateral at all.
Multiple Payment Methods
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, ACH bank transfer, Zelle, and cash.
The 10% premium is non-refundable once the bond is posted, regardless of the case outcome — that is California law (Insurance Code §1800), not Bail Network policy.
Qualifications
Who Qualifies — Bail Denial And Down-Payment Tiers
Misdemeanor Arrests — Almost Always Bailable
The county bail schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b applies, so no judge is required for most cases. Release is often same-day once bail is set and the bond is posted.
Felony Arrests — Usually Bailable
Bail is commonly set at arraignment, and Penal Code §1270.1 requires a formal hearing before release on certain serious or violent felonies.
Bail-Denial Cases — Bail May Be Denied
Under Article I, §12 of the California Constitution, bail can be denied for capital offenses and for violent or sexual-assault felonies where the evidence is strong. In re Humphrey (2021) requires courts to weigh ability to pay before setting an unaffordable amount.
Domestic Violence — Protective Orders Apply
An Emergency Protective Order is often issued at arrest, with a longer Criminal Protective Order possible at arraignment. No-contact conditions typically apply on release — read them carefully before going home.
When Bail Can Be Denied
Under Article I, §12 of the California Constitution, bail can be denied for capital offenses, and for felonies involving acts of violence or sexual assault on another person, when the facts are evident and the presumption of guilt is great.
In In re Humphrey (2021), the California Supreme Court held that a court cannot set bail an arrestee is unable to afford without first considering their ability to pay and less restrictive alternatives. That argument is made at the bail hearing itself.
Payment Options
Down-Payment Tiers
1% is the lowest down payment we offer, but 5% is generally the sweet spot for bail bond payments.
