Malibu/Lost Hills Station
Five contract cities from the coast to the 101 — and, unusually, three different courthouses across them. The court answer here depends on which city the arrest happened in.

Station Overview
Malibu/Lost Hills Station covers five contract cities — Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Malibu, and Westlake Village — plus unincorporated Chatsworth Lake Manor, Malibou Lake, Topanga, and West Hills.
Here is the detail most sites gloss over, and it matters more than anything else on this page: cases from this station's jurisdiction do not all go to one shared courthouse. Agoura Hills, Calabasas, and Hidden Hills route to Van Nuys Courthouse West. Malibu splits between Van Nuys Courthouse West and the Airport Courthouse. Westlake Village routes to the Santa Monica Courthouse instead.
Three different answers across five cities is a genuine exception, not a rounding error — and getting it wrong means a family drives an hour to the wrong building. We publish the split city by city rather than picking one courthouse for simplicity.
Custody, by contrast, is the ordinary pattern: the station handles arrest, booking, and short-term holding, and anyone not released moves into the county system downtown.

A patrol station is not a visiting facility. Once someone is in county custody, visits are scheduled through the Sheriff's Department system.
None of these five cities runs its own police department — a Malibu or Calabasas arrest is booked here on Agoura Road, not anywhere in Malibu or Calabasas.
The county inmate search can come back empty for hours after an arrest here, because the county record is created downtown at intake rather than at the station.
Before anyone drives to a courthouse, confirm which one. Three different courts serve this station's five cities, and the drive between Santa Monica and Van Nuys is not a short one.

Booking On Agoura Road
Identification, paperwork, and short-term holding happen at 27050 Agoura Road. Call (818) 878-1808 to confirm someone is there.
Bail Set From The County Schedule
Bail comes off the Los Angeles County bail schedule at booking, so it is postable immediately rather than waiting for arraignment.
Post Before Transfer — The Fast Path
A bond posted while someone is still at the station skips the downtown intake queue entirely. This is consistently the fastest outcome available.
Transfer To The Inmate Reception Center
Unresolved bookings transport to 450 Bauchet Street for full county booking, medical screening, and classification.
Arraignment — At One Of Three Courthouses
Which court depends on the city: Van Nuys West for Agoura Hills, Calabasas, and Hidden Hills; Van Nuys West or the Airport Courthouse for Malibu; Santa Monica for Westlake Village.
How To Post Bail Before County Transfer
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.
Timing is the whole game at a patrol station. Bail posted before the transport downtown ends the matter in hours; bail posted after has to wait for county intake, medical screening, and classification.
Nobody needs to drive to Agoura Road or downtown. Paperwork, signatures, and payment are handled remotely, and the bond is posted wherever the defendant actually is.
Because the figure comes off the county schedule at booking, there is no reason to wait for a hearing — and whichever of the three courthouses hears the case can still adjust bail or grant own-recognizance release at arraignment.
Qualifying cosigners can start as low as 1% down on approved credit.
If A Court Date Is Missed After Release
A bond written for Malibu/Lost Hills Station 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.
Failure To Appear Bail BondsNearby Courthouses
Three courthouses serve this station's five cities. This is not one shared answer — check the city before anyone drives.
Van Nuys Courthouse West
14400 Erwin Street Mall, Van Nuys, CA 91401

Airport Courthouse

Santa Monica Courthouse
1725 Main St, Santa Monica, CA 90401

Bail FAQs
Do all five of this station's cities use the same courthouse?
No, and this is the single most important thing to get right here. Agoura Hills, Calabasas, and Hidden Hills go to Van Nuys Courthouse West; Malibu is split between Van Nuys West and the Airport Courthouse; Westlake Village goes to the Santa Monica Courthouse.
Where is a Malibu arrest actually booked?
At 27050 Agoura Road in Agoura, not in Malibu. Malibu contracts with the Sheriff's Department and this station provides that policing.
Which unincorporated areas does this station cover?
Chatsworth Lake Manor, Malibou Lake, Topanga, and West Hills — canyon and hill communities with no municipal police of their own.
Is anyone held at the station overnight?
No. There is short-term holding for booking only. Anyone not released moves into the county system at the downtown Inmate Reception Center.
Can bail be posted before the transfer downtown?
Yes, and it is the fastest option available. Bail is set from the county schedule at booking, so a bond can be posted immediately — before the transport leaves — and skip the downtown intake queue entirely.
