Culver City, CA
Culver City is an independent city on the Westside with its own police department at 4040 Duquesne Avenue, (310) 837-1221, founded November 21, 1917. An arrest here is a Culver City PD matter, not a Sheriff's matter.
One detail changes everything about the first few hours: Culver City PD runs its own Type 1 jail with 30 beds. Someone arrested here can be held at the city facility rather than transferred immediately, which is exactly why families searching the county inmate system right after an arrest find nothing. Alhambra is the other city in this network with the same setup.
Culver City incorporated on September 20, 1917 and had 40,779 residents at the 2020 Census across about 5.33 square miles. It has been a studio town for a century — MGM and today Sony Pictures — and the daytime and event population runs well above the resident count.
Cases are heard at the Airport Courthouse, 11701 S. La Cienega Blvd, (310) 727-6010, which also covers Beverly Hills and West Hollywood. If the case enters county custody, men are processed at the Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street and women are generally housed at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood. The Bail Network posts bonds for Culver City arrests 24/7, at the state-regulated 10% premium with as low as 1% down for qualified cosigners.

Culver City arrests start with the Culver City Police Department's own facility before any transfer into county custody, so a county search in the first hours can legitimately come back empty. Once the transfer happens, the county system below is where the record lives.

Where Bail Is Set
Bail is set once booking is complete, regardless of whether the arrest came from Culver City 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 Culver City-area arrest, call us and we will tell you exactly where they are.

Inmate Reception Center (IRC) — 450 Bauchet Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
The Inmate Reception Center is the central intake point for the entire Los Angeles County jail system. It is not a Culver City facility — but once the Culver City Police Department hands a booking to county custody, this is where the record is created and where the person actually is.
What happens here: booking, fingerprinting, photographing, and classification. Once someone is classified, they are assigned to a housing facility elsewhere in the county system — Men's Central Jail or Twin Towers downtown, or Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood for women. The IRC itself is a processing facility, not long-term housing, and it does not offer public visiting.
Processing at the IRC can take anywhere from a few hours to, in some documented cases, considerably longer before someone is fully classified and appears under an assigned facility. That is the single most common reason a search right after an arrest comes back empty — it does not mean the arrest did not happen.
Once bail is set — off the county schedule at booking, or by a judge at a later hearing — The Bail Network posts the bond directly at the IRC cashier, 24/7. This is also where bail is paid for anyone later transferred to the Pitchess complex in Castaic, since those facilities do not have their own cashier.

Airport Courthouse has direct jurisdiction over cases from Criminal matters for communities near LAX; Culver City assignment pending confirmation. Airport Courthouse remains the reasonable candidate for Culver City, but the old Beverly Hills / Culver City / West Hollywood grouping no longer holds — Beverly Hills Courthouse's confirmed jurisdiction does not include Culver City. Confirm the courthouse named on the notice to appear. Serious felony matters can move to Clara Shortridge Foltz downtown.

Los Angeles Superior CourtBail Amounts In Culver City — And What It Costs You
Bail set at booking follows Los Angeles County's uniform bail schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b, so amounts in Culver City match the countywide figures — there is no separate Culver City 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 Los Angeles 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.
- 1%1% downLowest Down
Strongest cosigner profile — good credit, long employment, homeowner or verifiable equity.
- 3%3% down

- 5%5% downSweet Spot
Mixed credit or shorter work history, still with a qualifying cosigner.
- 10%10% down
No cosigner, thin credit, prior failure-to-appear history, or a high-exposure charge.

Culver City FAQs
Does Culver City have its own police department?
Yes. The Culver City Police Department, founded November 21, 1917, is an independent municipal force at 4040 Duquesne Avenue, (310) 837-1221 — not a Sheriff's contract station.
Does Culver City have its own jail?
Yes, and that matters. Culver City PD operates its own Type 1 jail with 30 beds, so someone arrested here can be held locally rather than moved straight into county custody — which is why a county inmate search right after an arrest can come back empty.
Which courthouse hears a Culver City case?
The Airport Courthouse at 11701 S. La Cienega Blvd, (310) 727-6010, whose jurisdiction covers Beverly Hills, Culver City, West Hollywood, and communities near LAX. Serious felony matters can move to Clara Shortridge Foltz downtown.
How much does a bail bond cost for a Culver City arrest?
Bail follows the countywide Los Angeles bail schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b. Premiums are regulated under Insurance Code §1800 and typically run 10% of the bail amount, with as low as 1% down for qualified cosigners. The amount that applies to a Culver City arrest comes from that schedule, and the judge at Airport Courthouse can raise, lower, or release on own recognizance at arraignment.
