Bail deposit in the form of cash or surety bond shall be accepted for the release of an arrestee detained on a charge at any Station or facility and for an inmate in custody in any other Station or facility, both intra-Department and interdepartment, with LAPD.
The following procedure will be employed to effect a bail release:
In the event that a prisoner is not released after bail or bond has been posted, due to extenuating circumstances, it shall be the responsibility of the releasing agency to notify the bail-receiving Unit. The Station holding a bail/bond on an inmate that has not been answered in two hours, should call the IRC/CRDF bail/bond desk. It will then be determined if the clerk did, in fact, receive the notification of bail and if so, why it has taken beyond two hours to be answered.
Writs or felony "Orders for Release" must be served on the Department having custody of the prisoner and are to be processed in accordance with each Department's existing policies.
