Station Overview
South LA Station serves the contract city of Lawndale directly, along with unincorporated communities across South Los Angeles, from 1310 West Imperial Highway.
Lawndale has no municipal police department. It contracts with the Sheriff's Department, and this station runs a dedicated Lawndale line at (310) 219-2750 in addition to the main station number.
The unincorporated side is where families most often go wrong. A Los Angeles mailing address does not mean the Los Angeles Police Department made the arrest — the unincorporated pockets across South LA are county territory handled by the Sheriff's Department from this station.
The station handles the arrest, the booking paperwork, and short-term holding. Nobody stays at a patrol station; bookings not resolved locally move 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.
For a Lawndale arrest, the dedicated (310) 219-2750 line is usually the faster call than the main station number.
A Los Angeles mailing address in an unincorporated pocket does not mean LAPD has the case — check here before assuming.
Transport downtown can leave sooner than expected, and station-level timing is never guaranteed. Call as soon as you know about the arrest — we work the station and the downtown facility at the same time.

View pageBooking & Transfer Process
Six real steps, from an arrest in Lawndale or unincorporated South LA to release.
Arrest In Lawndale Or Unincorporated South LA
Lawndale contracts with the Sheriff's Department and the surrounding unincorporated pockets are county territory, so both are county arrests from the first minute.
Booking On Imperial Highway
Identification, paperwork, and short-term holding happen at 1310 W. Imperial Highway. Call (323) 820-6700, or (310) 219-2750 for a Lawndale arrest, 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. Women are housed at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood instead.
Arraignment At The Inglewood Courthouse
Lawndale cases are confirmed to the Inglewood Courthouse on Regent Street, where a judge can adjust bail or grant own-recognizance release.
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 Imperial Highway 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 a judge can still adjust it 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 South LA 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.

Does Lawndale have its own police department?
No. Lawndale contracts with the Sheriff's Department, and this station provides that policing. There is a dedicated Lawndale line at (310) 219-2750 alongside the main station number.
My relative has a Los Angeles address — is this the right station or is it LAPD?
It depends on whether the address sits in an unincorporated county pocket or inside the City of Los Angeles. Those pockets across South LA carry Los Angeles mailing addresses but are policed by the Sheriff's Department from this station. Call us with a name and date of birth and we will find them either way.
Which courthouse hears a Lawndale case?
The Inglewood Courthouse at One Regent Street, which holds confirmed jurisdiction over Lawndale as part of the same cluster as Inglewood, Hawthorne, and Gardena.
Where does a female defendant go from here?
To the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, the county's women's jail, rather than to the downtown men's facilities. That facility has its own 24/7 bail cashier.
Can I post bail at the station itself?
Yes, while the defendant is still there — and that is the fastest possible outcome, because it skips the downtown intake queue. Once transport leaves, the bond is posted at the county facility instead.
