Facility Overview
Monrovia Police Department books and holds defendants in the San Gabriel Valley foothills before cases move to the Pasadena Courthouse at 300 East Walnut Street.
The Pasadena Courthouse has confirmed direct jurisdiction over Altadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre — a five-city cluster that means a Monrovia booking shares its arraignment calendar with four neighboring communities.
Monrovia Police Department is at 140 East Lime Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016 — confirmed through the City of Monrovia's own official pages. The department's current phone number should still be confirmed directly with the city before you rely on it.
Because Monrovia books locally, the Sheriff's county inmate locator can come back empty in the first hours after an arrest here. No county record exists until a transfer happens.

Emergencies
911
A city jail is not a county visiting facility — local holds are short and visiting is limited.
Monrovia cases share the Pasadena Courthouse with Altadena, Arcadia, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre.
A county inmate search in the first hours after a Monrovia arrest can legitimately come back empty.
Local holds are not guaranteed to stay local. If a transfer downtown is going to happen, it can happen quickly — call as soon as you know about the arrest.

View pageBooking & Transfer Process
What actually happens after a Monrovia Police Department arrest.
Arrest By Monrovia PD
Monrovia has its own police department, so the arrest, the report, and the booking all start with the city rather than the Sheriff's Department.
Booking At The Department Facility
Identification, property, and paperwork happen at the department's own facility on East Lime Avenue, a short walk from Monrovia City Hall.
Bail Set From The County Schedule
Even a city booking uses the Los Angeles County bail schedule, so a figure exists immediately and a bond can be posted without waiting for arraignment.
Short Local Hold
Monrovia holds defendants locally before any transfer into county custody.
Transfer To The Inmate Reception Center
When a transfer happens, men route to 450 Bauchet Street downtown and women to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood.
Arraignment At The Pasadena Courthouse
Cases are heard at 300 East Walnut Street in Pasadena, where a judge can adjust bail or grant own-recognizance release.
How To Post Bail At The Monrovia Jail
Premium on a California bail bond is set by the rate filed with the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800. The starting bail figure comes from the Los Angeles Superior Court’s felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, adopted under Penal Code §1269b, and review or reduction of that figure runs under Penal Code §1270.1.
Posting while someone is still at the city facility is always the fastest path — it ends the matter locally and skips county intake entirely.
Nobody needs to drive to Monrovia. Paperwork, signatures, and payment happen remotely, and we post the bond wherever the defendant actually is.
The premium is set by California law at 10 percent of the bail amount, and we write payment plans, no-collateral bonds, and no-money-down options against it.
Qualifying cosigners can start as low as 1% down on approved credit.
If A Court Date Is Missed After Release
A bond written for the Monrovia jail stays live through every appearance until the case resolves. A missed date can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day, with a limited statutory window to bring the defendant back before the forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner.

Which courthouse hears a Monrovia case?
The Pasadena Courthouse at 300 E. Walnut Street — confirmed direct jurisdiction over Altadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre.
What is the Monrovia Police Department's address?
140 East Lime Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016, confirmed through the City of Monrovia's official pages. Confirm the current phone number with the city directly before calling.
Why can't I find my relative in the county inmate locator?
Because the county system only shows people already booked into county custody. Someone held at the Monrovia city jail has no county record yet.
Can I post bail before a transfer to county jail?
Yes, and it is the fastest path. Monrovia books and transfers rather than holding long term, so the local window is short — bail set from the county schedule can be posted before the move downtown.
