Wilmington, CA
Wilmington is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, not an incorporated city. It grew out of an 1858 land purchase by Phineas Banning, who named it after his birthplace of Wilmington, Delaware, incorporated as its own city in 1863, and consolidated into Los Angeles in 1909 in the same vote as San Pedro. That is why there is no Wilmington city hall, no Wilmington city council, and no Wilmington police department to call.
Policing is handled by the Los Angeles Police Department through the Harbor Community Police Station at 2175 John S. Gibson Blvd, San Pedro, CA 90731, toll-free non-emergency (877) 275-5273 — the same station that covers San Pedro. Harbor Division polices Wilmington, San Pedro, Harbor City, and Harbor Gateway together, roughly 171,000 people across about 27 square miles. Treat any search or call as an LAPD matter, not a city or Sheriff matter.
Wilmington covers about 9.14 square miles and had roughly 53,815 residents at the 2010 Census; a more current official count was not independently confirmed for this page, so that older figure is shown as-is rather than replaced with an estimate. The community is historically blue-collar and tightly tied to the Port of Los Angeles and the local oil refineries, and it is home to the Civil War-era Drum Barracks and Los Angeles Harbor College.
If the case enters county custody, men are processed at the Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street downtown and women are generally housed at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood. The Bail Network posts bonds for Wilmington arrests 24/7, at the state-regulated 10% premium with as low as 1% down for qualified cosigners.

Arrest & Booking — What Happens First
Every Wilmington arrest follows the same path. Here is each step, with the real contact at each one.
Find An InmateThe Arrest
LAPD officers from the Harbor Community Police Station make the arrest. Station: 2175 John S. Gibson Blvd, San Pedro, CA 90731.
LAPD Holding First
LAPD can hold someone at a division jail before any transfer into county custody, which is why a county inmate search right after the arrest often comes back empty.
Transfer Into County Custody
If the case enters the county system, men are processed at the Inmate Reception Center, 450 Bauchet Street; women are generally housed at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood.
Call The Bail Network Immediately
We confirm whether LAPD or the county is holding your loved one and have the bond ready the moment bail is set — the IRC 24/7 bail cashier is (213) 893-5875.

Who Books Wilmington Arrests — And Where They're Held
Wilmington arrests start with the LAPD Harbor Community Police Station'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.

Booking from Wilmington typically routes here — the Sheriff's Department can move someone between facilities during classification, so always confirm the current location before travelling.

Where Bail Is Set
Bail is set once booking is complete, regardless of whether the arrest came from LAPD Harbor Community Police Station. 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 Wilmington-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 Wilmington facility — but once the LAPD Harbor Community Police Station 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.

Los Angeles Superior Court Foltz Criminal Justice Center guideWhich Branch Court Hears It
Los Angeles County Superior Court runs 36 courthouses, and a case from Wilmington is usually heard at the branch court serving this part of the county rather than downtown. We are not going to guess which one on this page — the courthouse named on the notice to appear is the authoritative answer, and we confirm it with you when we post the bond.
Court Dates & Case Records
Case information for Los Angeles County cases is published by the Superior Court. Missing a court date means a bench warrant and bond forfeiture — call us before a date is missed, not after.
Los Angeles Superior CourtBail Amounts In Wilmington — 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 Wilmington match the countywide figures — there is no separate Wilmington 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

- 10%10% down

Wilmington FAQs
Is Wilmington its own city?
No. Wilmington was an incorporated city from 1863 until 1909, when it consolidated into the City of Los Angeles in the same vote that brought in San Pedro. Today it is a Los Angeles neighborhood — there is no Wilmington city government and no Wilmington police department.
Who polices Wilmington?
The Los Angeles Police Department, through the Harbor Community Police Station at 2175 John S. Gibson Blvd, San Pedro, CA 90731 — toll-free non-emergency (877) 275-5273. LAPD's Harbor Division covers Wilmington, San Pedro, Harbor City, and Harbor Gateway as one area of roughly 171,000 people across about 27 square miles.
Which courthouse hears a Wilmington case?
Not confirmed here. Like San Pedro, Wilmington arrests come through LAPD Harbor Division and several venues are geographically plausible, so we will not guess — the courthouse printed on the notice to appear is authoritative, and Clara Shortridge Foltz downtown handles serious felony matters countywide.
Where is someone held after a Wilmington arrest?
LAPD can hold someone at a division jail before any transfer, so a county inmate search right after the arrest can come back empty. If the case enters county custody, men are processed at the Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street and women at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood.
How much does a bail bond cost for a Wilmington 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 Wilmington arrest comes from that schedule, and a judge can raise it, lower it, or grant release on own recognizance at arraignment.

Wilmington is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles rather than a city of its own, so the places listed here are its Harbor-area neighbors, not fellow municipalities. It borders Carson to the north, Long Beach to the east, and San Pedro to the south and west — San Pedro shares the exact same LAPD station and the same 1909 consolidation history.
