The city is patrolled by the Santa Monica Police department who work with the citizens of the city to provide an effective law enforcement service. When someone is arrested in or around the City of Santa Monica, they will be taken to the station to undergo booking and processing. If they are not eligible for one of the other options for release, then they will likely be held temporarily at the jail located on the premises.
If a bail bond is not obtained while the inmate is still located at the Santa Monica police station jail, then they will likely be transferred to one of the larger facilities in downtown Los Angeles. Men are typically transferred to Twin Towers Correctional Facility while women are taken to the Lynwood Jail.
These larger facilities are incredibly busy, and if this transfer occurs, it is likely that the individual will spend additional time in police custody as they are booked into the new facility.
Options for Release
Bail bonds are only one of several options for release that are available when someone is arrested. Depending on the nature and number of the crime(s) that the individual is charged with, he or she maybe eligible for one of the other options for release listed below.
- Own Recognizance – This is when an inmate is granted their release provided that he or she provide a written agreement that they will meet all of their court obligations.
- Cited Out – The police will sometimes cite someone out if they have been charged with a minor crime, like a traffic violation, or an infraction. One someone is cited out, they make a promise to appear before the court at the appointed date and time, and are otherwise allowed to go about their business.
- Cash Bonds – When bail is set, it isn’t always necessary to call a bail bondsman in order to get someone out of jail. It’s possible to bring in the full amount of bail to the court clerk, pay it, and secure the individual’s release. This is often the most expensive option.
- Property Bonds – These are exactly what they sound like. Instead of putting up cash or obtaining a bail bond to secure someone’s release, it is possible to put up a piece of property or real estate instead.
Why Use a Bail Bondsman?
Perhaps you’re wondering, since a bail bond isn’t the only way to get someone out of jail, why bother with a bail bondsman at all?
The answer to that is two-fold, cost and experience. Depending on the crime, bail can be very expensive. In order to get someone out of jail without a bail bondsman, you will need to bring in the entire amount of bail and pay it to the court clerk, or sign over a piece of property that equals the bail amount in its entirety; which can be as little as a few thousand dollars or as much as tens-of-thousands of dollars. Most people don’t have that kind of cash just lying around.
