Facility Overview
Montebello Police Department operates its own 20-bed jail facility at 1600 West Beverly Boulevard — a real local custody operation rather than only a booking-and-transfer point. A defendant booked here may be held locally rather than immediately transferred to county custody.
One important distinction the city states itself: the facility is city-owned and overseen by a Montebello Police lieutenant, but it is staffed by a private correctional contractor rather than by sworn city officers. The facility is confirmed open on the state's January 2026 list of jail facilities.
The department is easily accessible via four major freeways and sits nine miles from downtown Los Angeles — close enough that a county transfer, when it happens, is a short ride to the Inmate Reception Center.
Montebello's courthouse assignment is not yet confirmed. Alhambra Courthouse and East Los Angeles Courthouse are reasonable candidates given the city's central location, but neither has been independently verified by name for this city.

View pageBooking & Transfer Process
What actually happens after a Montebello Police Department arrest.
Arrest By Montebello PD
Montebello 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 1600 W. Beverly Boulevard
Identification, property, and paperwork happen at the department's own 20-bed facility — a real custody operation, not just a booking desk, staffed by a contracted correctional team under police oversight.
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.
Local Hold At The City Facility
Montebello holds defendants at its own facility before any transfer into county custody — the window to post bail locally.
Transfer To The Inmate Reception Center
When a transfer happens, men route to 450 Bauchet Street — nine miles away downtown — and women to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood.
Arraignment At The Assigned Courthouse
Montebello's courthouse is not yet independently confirmed — Alhambra and East Los Angeles are geographic candidates. We verify the correct court as part of every Montebello call.
How To Post Bail At The Montebello 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 Beverly Boulevard facility is always the fastest path — it ends the matter locally and skips county intake entirely.
Nobody needs to drive to Montebello. 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 Montebello 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.

Full Los Angeles County City DirectoryBail FAQs
Which courthouse hears a Montebello case?
It is not yet independently confirmed. Alhambra Courthouse and East Los Angeles Courthouse are reasonable geographic candidates, but we verify the correct court on every Montebello call rather than guess.
Does Montebello really hold people at its own jail?
Yes. Montebello operates a 20-bed city jail, confirmed open on the state's January 2026 facility list. The city owns the facility and a police lieutenant oversees it, but daily custody staffing is handled by a private correctional contractor rather than sworn officers.
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 Montebello city jail has no county record yet.
Can I post bail before a transfer to county jail?
Yes, and it is the fastest path. Bail is set from the county schedule immediately after booking, so a bond can be posted while the defendant is still at Beverly Boulevard.
