What You Need to Know Right Now

Downey has its own police department and a Downey Courthouse — both shape how fast we can post a release.

When someone is arrested in Downey, they are booked at the Downey Police Department headquarters on Brookshire Avenue. Downey PD operates its own holding facility, which means we have a window to post bond before transfer to the broader LA County system.

Felony arraignments for Downey cases route to the Downey Courthouse on Imperial Highway — the local Southeast District calendar within Los Angeles Superior Court. The faster we receive the booking record, the better positioned we are to coordinate timing against the Downey calendar.

California sets the bail bond premium at 10% by statute (Insurance Code §1800.4) — the same with every licensed Downey bondsman. What changes is speed, transparency, and how well we know the Downey PD booking process.

What You Pay for a Downey Bail Bond — By Statute

Bail bond pricing in California is statutory. The same rules apply at Downey PD, the Downey Courthouse, and every LA County jail.

Cal. Ins. Code § 1800.4

The 10% Premium Is Statutory

California sets the bail bond premium between 8% and 10% of the total bond. A Downey bondsman charging less without a filed rate plan is operating outside the law — a regulatory violation, not a discount.

AB 391 (effective 2024)

Written Disclosure Is Required

California bail bond contracts must include a clear, written breakdown of the premium, finance charges, and indemnitor obligations. We send the full agreement before you sign — nothing buried, no surprise fees.

Proposition 25 (2020)

Cash Bail Is Still the Law

California voters rejected SB 10 in 2020, keeping the cash bail system in place statewide. The Downey Courthouse still uses posted bail amounts — and a licensed bondsman remains the fastest path to release.
