Want to find out whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California? Need details on a court case involving a friend or relative? The California Superior Court is a good starting point.

The California Constitution gives most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County and across the state a right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. In a 2021 ruling, the California Supreme Court held that judges must take a defendant’s ability to pay into account and may not hold someone solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive alternative will protect the public or ensure they appear in court. Rule 4.101 also bars judges from considering whether the defendant has requested a jury trial.

Calling the West Covina Jail at 626-939-8550 is the quickest way to find out an inmate’s bail. As long as you know the crime they’re accused of, you can also look up the Los Angeles County bail schedule yourself. This county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.

By the numbers, the West Covina Jail:

• Is licensed for 25 inmates at any given time
• Often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends

At most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Each year, Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 462,420 offenders.
