Hayward Police Detention Facility Inmate Search
The California Superior Court is a good starting point if you need to know whether you have a warrant in Alameda County or anywhere in California, or if you need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative.
Most criminal defendants in Alameda County, like those across California, have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court requires judges to consider a defendant’s ability to pay and prohibits detaining someone solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure their appearance. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial.
The best way to find out an inmate’s bail at the Hayward Police Detention Facility is to call 510-293-7043. If you know the crime the inmate was arrested for, you can also look it up on the Alameda County bail schedule. The county accepts bail in the form of cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
The Hayward Police Detention Facility’s licensed capacity is 30 inmates, but it often has to take in many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their population each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Those cases take longer to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain at one of the Alameda County facilities much longer.
Each year, Alameda County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 91,400 offenders.
The Hayward Police Detention Facility is a temporary hlding facility (72 hours) before being transferred to the Santa Rita Jail in Alameda County. It has a capacity of 30 inmates.
