Bail Bonds San Dimas: LASD Station Booking Process & What to Do After an Arrest

Your complete guide to the LASD San Dimas Station and LA County bail

San Dimas Jail By Angels Bail Bonds — License #1K06080

San Dimas is a foothill community of about 34,000 residents in the eastern San Gabriel Valley. Unlike many larger nearby cities, San Dimas contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for law enforcement — meaning the LASD San Dimas Station is the primary detention facility for arrests in the city. When someone is arrested in San Dimas, that station at 725 W Arrow Hwy is the first stop — and the clock on your 48-hour window starts immediately.

This guide explains everything about the San Dimas booking process, the LA County bail schedule, county transfer procedures, and how Angels Bail Bonds secures fast release from LASD facilities throughout the Pomona Valley.

Need help right now? Call Angels Bail Bonds: (626) 478-1062. We answer 24/7, know the San Dimas Station inside and out, and can start the bond process immediately — before the booking is complete.

LASD San Dimas Station — The First Stop After an Arrest

The LASD San Dimas Station is located at 725 W Arrow Hwy, San Dimas, CA 91773, with a main line of (909) 450-2700. The station operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and serves San Dimas and surrounding unincorporated communities in the eastern San Gabriel Valley foothills.

San Dimas Station is a smaller LASD station jail. Unlike the massive facilities downtown — Men's Central Jail and Twin Towers Correctional Facility — it has limited capacity. This has an important implication: overcrowding triggers transfers. When the station jail reaches capacity, male inmates are transferred to Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic or to Men's Central Jail in Downtown LA. Women are transferred to the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF) in Lynwood. These transfers can happen quickly, sometimes within hours of booking.

To locate someone booked at San Dimas Station, call the jailer at the station or use the LASD Inmate Information Line at (213) 473-6100. For transfers to county facilities, the LASD Inmate Information Center at app5.lasd.org/iic tracks all LA County custody locations. When you call Angels Bail Bonds at (626) 478-1062, we check every system simultaneously.

The Booking Process at LASD San Dimas Station

Step 1
Arrival & Initial Intake
The arresting deputy delivers the individual to San Dimas Station. Charges are logged, the booking number is assigned, and the arrest report is documented. The 48-hour clock under PC § 825 starts now.
Step 2
Property Inventory
All personal belongings are catalogued and secured. A receipt is issued. From this point, communication is only possible through the station's internal phone system.
Step 3
Live Scan Fingerprinting
Electronic fingerprints are run through state (DOJ) and federal (FBI) databases. Prior criminal history, outstanding warrants from other counties, and immigration holds are identified here. An active warrant from San Bernardino or Orange County can result in a hold even after bail is posted in LA County.
Step 4
Photograph (Mugshot)
Booking photos are taken and entered into the official record. Once processing is complete, this information appears in the LASD public database.
Step 5
Medical Screening
California law requires health screening at every booking. Staff assess sobriety, injury, medications, and mental health needs. Individuals requiring medical attention or mental health evaluation may have longer processing times.
Step 6
Bail Determination
Bail is set per the LA County Felony or Misdemeanor Bail Schedule. Most charges are assigned a bail amount automatically. The judge may modify this at arraignment at the Pomona Courthouse.
Step 7
Housing or Transfer
The individual is held at San Dimas Station or transferred. Overcrowding, medical needs, serious felony charges, or court scheduling are the primary triggers for transfer to Pitchess or Men's Central Jail.

Total booking time at LASD San Dimas Station is typically 2 to 12 hours, depending on staffing levels and jail population. If transfer to a county facility occurs, add another 4 to 8 hours for transport and re-processing.

The LA County Bail Schedule — 2026

Because San Dimas is in Los Angeles County, bail is set using the LA County Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedules, published annually by the Superior Court. Arraignment for San Dimas cases takes place at the Pomona Courthouse, located at 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766.

Charge Penal/Vehicle Code Bail Amount
DUI (no injury) VC 23152 $5,000
DUI with injury VC 23153 $100,000
Simple assault / battery PC 240 / 242 $5,000
Assault with a deadly weapon PC 245(a)(1) $30,000
Assault with a firearm PC 245(a)(2) $50,000
Residential burglary PC 459 $50,000
Grand theft (over $950) PC 487 $20,000
Possession for sale HS 11351 $30,000

Bail amounts are set at booking without a judge's involvement. Under California Penal Code § 825, arraignment must occur within 48 hours of arrest (excluding Sundays and court holidays). At the Pomona Courthouse arraignment, a judge will review the charges and may raise, lower, or eliminate bail based on the defendant's record, the nature of the charges, and public safety factors.

How Bail Bonds Work in San Dimas

A bail bond allows your family to secure your loved one's release by paying a fraction of the total bail — instead of the full amount in cash. Here is how it works:

  • You pay Angels Bail Bonds a premium of 10% of the total bail amount — set by California Insurance Code § 1800.4.
  • We post the full bail amount as a guarantee to the court.
  • Your loved one is released and must appear at all court dates.
  • The 10% premium is non-refundable — it is the cost of the bond service, not a deposit.

For families who don't have $3,000 to $10,000 in liquid cash available at 2am — which describes most families — we offer flexible payment plans and zero-down options for qualifying clients. We also complete the entire process by phone and electronic signature. You never need to come to a jail or office.

What Happens After the Bond Is Posted at San Dimas Station

  1. We deliver the bond paperwork to LASD San Dimas Station (or the county facility if a transfer has occurred).
  2. Custody staff verify the bond amount and accept it.
  3. A release order is generated.
  4. The individual is brought to the release area, property is returned, and release paperwork is signed.
  5. At San Dimas Station, release typically takes 2 to 6 hours after bond posting. At Pitchess or Men's Central Jail, the process takes 8 to 24 hours due to higher volume.

We track every bond at every facility and call you the moment release is confirmed.

Complications That Can Delay Release from San Dimas

  • Transfer to Pitchess or MCJ. San Dimas Station transfers inmates frequently due to its limited capacity. When this happens, we re-route the bond to the receiving facility at no extra cost.
  • Outstanding warrants from San Bernardino County. San Dimas sits near the LA/San Bernardino County line. A warrant from San Bernardino can create a hold even if LA County bail is fully posted. We identify this immediately and advise on next steps.
  • Weekend arraignment timing. Pomona Courthouse operates on weekday hours. A Thursday night arrest will have a short window before Monday arraignment. Posting bail before arraignment is critical to locking in the scheduled amount.
  • Vehicle code violations with multiple priors. Repeat DUI or other VC violations carry significantly higher bail at arraignment when the judge reviews the record. Posting before arraignment protects against this.
