West Hollywood Station

Station Overview
West Hollywood Station serves the City of West Hollywood and the unincorporated Universal CityWalk area from 780 North San Vicente Boulevard.
Real, notable fact: West Hollywood has never had its own municipal police department at any point since incorporating in 1984. Unlike most LASD contract cities, which historically transitioned away from an independent department, West Hollywood went directly to a Sheriff's Department contract from day one.
For families that means there is no city police department to call. Every arrest inside the city limits — including the Sunset Strip and Santa Monica Boulevard nightlife corridors that generate much of the station's volume — is a county arrest booked here.
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.
There is no West Hollywood Police Department to call — there never has been. This station is the city's police department under contract.
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 in West Hollywood or at Universal CityWalk to release.
Arrest In West Hollywood Or At CityWalk
West Hollywood contracts with the Sheriff's Department and Universal CityWalk sits on unincorporated county land, so both are county arrests from the first minute.
Booking On San Vicente Boulevard
Identification, paperwork, and short-term holding happen at 780 N San Vicente Blvd. Call (310) 855-8850 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 Airport Courthouse
Cases tied to this station are heard at the Airport Courthouse on South La Cienega, 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 San Vicente Boulevard 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 West Hollywood 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.

Bail FAQs
Is there a West Hollywood Police Department?
No — and there never has been. West Hollywood incorporated in 1984 and contracted with the Sheriff's Department from day one, unlike most contract cities that transitioned away from an existing department. This station is the city's police department.
Which courthouse hears a West Hollywood case?
The Airport Courthouse at 11701 S. La Cienega Boulevard, (310) 727-6010. This one is directly confirmed — the station's own official restraining-order guidance names that courthouse specifically.
My relative was arrested at Universal CityWalk — who has them?
This station. CityWalk sits on unincorporated county land, so the Sheriff's Department handles the arrest rather than a city police department.
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.
It's the middle of the night — can anything actually happen right now?
Yes. Bail runs 24 hours a day, and a large share of this station's arrests happen late. We take the call, confirm the bail amount, and start the bond at any hour.
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 still on San Vicente. Call the station at (310) 855-8850 or call us and we will locate them.
