Temple Station

Station Overview
Temple Station covers more contract cities than almost any other station in this directory — Temple City, Rosemead, Duarte, South El Monte, and Bradbury — plus unincorporated Chantry Flats, the Monrovia-Arcadia-Duarte area, North San Gabriel and East Pasadena, and South San Gabriel.
Real detail: Bradbury, one of the smallest and most exclusive cities in Los Angeles County at roughly 921 residents, is served by this same station rather than having any dedicated coverage of its own. A Bradbury arrest is a Temple Station booking.
None of these five cities runs its own police department. Each contracts with the Sheriff's Department, so every arrest inside those city limits is a county arrest handled from 8838 Las Tunas Drive.
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.
Five cities and several unincorporated areas share this one station, so an arrest in Bradbury, Duarte, or South San Gabriel all end up at the same Las Tunas Drive counter.
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.
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 anywhere in Temple Station's territory to release.
Arrest In A Contract City Or Unincorporated Area
Temple City, Rosemead, Duarte, South El Monte, and Bradbury all contract with the Sheriff's Department, and the surrounding unincorporated communities are county territory outright. Either way it is a county arrest from the first minute.
Booking On Las Tunas Drive
Identification, paperwork, and short-term holding happen at 8838 Las Tunas Dr. Call (626) 285-7171 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 The Assigned Courthouse
Temple City cases are heard at the Alhambra Courthouse. Assignments for the station's other four cities are not individually confirmed — we verify the specific courthouse per case before telling a family where to go.
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 Las Tunas Drive 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 Temple 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
Only one courthouse assignment under this station is independently confirmed. We publish that one and flag the rest rather than guessing.
Rosemead, Duarte, South El Monte, and Bradbury do not automatically share Temple City's confirmed assignment. Sharing a station does not mean sharing a courthouse, and we have not independently verified those four by name — call us and we will confirm the assigned courthouse for a specific case.

Bail FAQs
How many cities does Temple Station actually serve?
Five contract cities — Temple City, Rosemead, Duarte, South El Monte, and Bradbury — plus unincorporated Chantry Flats, the Monrovia-Arcadia-Duarte area, North San Gabriel, East Pasadena, and South San Gabriel. That is one of the widest contract footprints of any station in the county.
Bradbury is tiny — does it really have no police department of its own?
Correct. Bradbury has roughly 921 residents and no municipal department. Coverage comes from Temple Station like the four larger contract cities, so a Bradbury arrest is booked on Las Tunas Drive.
Which courthouse hears a case from this station?
Temple City cases are confirmed to the Alhambra Courthouse at 150 W. Commonwealth Avenue. Rosemead, Duarte, South El Monte, and Bradbury assignments are not independently verified, so we confirm those per case instead of assuming they match.
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 entirely. Once transport leaves for the Inmate Reception Center, the bond is posted downtown instead.
My relative was arrested in South San Gabriel, not San Gabriel — who has them?
This station. South San Gabriel is unincorporated county territory even though the mailing address reads San Gabriel, so the Sheriff's Department has the case rather than San Gabriel Police.
How long before someone shows up in the county inmate search?
Often several hours. The county record is created downtown at intake, not at the station, so a search can come back empty while the person is sitting in Temple City. Call the station at (626) 285-7171 or call us and we will locate them.
