Facility Overview
West Covina Police Department books and holds defendants at 1444 West Garvey Avenue South before cases move to the city's own dedicated courthouse — the same courthouse that also serves Covina and Glendora.
The city's founding story is genuinely unusual. West Covina incorporated in 1923 specifically to prevent neighboring Covina from building a sewage farm in the area. A century later the two cities still share a courthouse, which is why a West Covina arrest and a Covina arrest can end up on the same calendar.
Because West Covina 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.
Having the courthouse inside the city limits matters practically — arraignment logistics stay local, and a bond posted before transfer keeps the whole matter in the San Gabriel Valley.

West Covina Courthouse also hears Covina and Glendora cases, so calendars can be busy.
A city jail is not a county visiting facility — local holds are short and visiting is limited.
A county inmate search in the first hours after a West Covina 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 West Covina Police Department arrest.
Arrest By West Covina PD
West Covina runs its own department, so the arrest, the report, and the booking all start with the city rather than the Sheriff's Department.
Booking At 1444 West Garvey Avenue South
Identification, property, and paperwork happen at the department's own facility.
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
West Covina 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 West Covina Courthouse
1427 West Covina Parkway — the city's own dedicated courthouse, which also serves Covina and Glendora.
How To Post Bail At The West Covina 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 Garvey Avenue facility is always the fastest path — it ends the matter locally and skips county intake entirely.
Nobody needs to drive to West Covina. 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 West Covina 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 West Covina case?
The West Covina Courthouse at 1427 West Covina Parkway — a dedicated courthouse inside the city that also serves Covina and Glendora.
How do I reach the West Covina Police Department?
The department is at 1444 West Garvey Avenue South, reachable at (626) 939-8500.
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 West Covina 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 Garvey Avenue.
