2-11/035.00 Bail Posted



When a person appears at the lockup with a receipt indicating that the bail has been posted, lockup personnel shall:

  • Check with the respective court to ascertain if any change has taken place in the inmate’s status.
  • If any changes exist in the inmate’s case, do not release.
  • If no changes exist in the inmate’s status, the following shall be done:
    • County Inmates - Call IRC/CRDF to verify that bail has been posted and to determine if additional charges or holds exist. Releases or holds are to be processed as outlined in the preceding section.
    • Station Bookings - Verify with the Station jailer that bail has been posted on the proper charge and in the correct amount. If no CWS slip is in the inmate’s packet, obtain verification from the Station jailer. The release is then processed, and authority to release is noted on the transmittal sheet.
    • LAPD or other Agency Booking - Verify with the agency that the correct amount of bail has been posted and that there are no holds. If there are no holds, process the release.
