When someone is arrested in San Gabriel, they are transported to the San Gabriel Police Department Jail, located at 625 S Del Mar Ave, San Gabriel, CA 91776 (phone: 626-308-2828). The SGPD jail is the city's primary holding facility for arrests made within San Gabriel city limits.
San Gabriel PD operates a compact city jail. Upon arrival, a jailer on duty takes the defendant's personal property, collects identifying information, and begins the booking process. The process at this facility often moves faster than at large county institutions because of the smaller volume — many misdemeanor bookings are processed within 45 minutes to 2 hours of arrival.
For defendants facing felony charges, or those who require extended pre-trial custody, San Gabriel PD will arrange transfer to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) — most frequently to the Temple Station holding facility or directly to a central LASD custody facility such as the Pitchess Detention Center. The LASD Inmate Information Center at app5.lasd.org/iic is the public resource for locating someone in LA County custody.
Booking is a required administrative process that must be completed before bail is set and posted. Here is what happens at SGPD after an arrest:
The Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles issues both a Felony Bail Schedule and a Misdemeanor Bail Schedule annually, effective January 1. These determine the standard bail amount at booking for most charges. A judge at arraignment — required within 48 hours under California Penal Code § 825 (excluding Sundays and court holidays) — may increase or decrease this amount based on the defendant's record, risk of flight, and community ties.
Here are representative amounts from the 2026 LA County bail schedule:
| Charge | Penal Code | Bail Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Assault with deadly weapon (not firearm) | PC 245(a)(1) | $30,000 |
| Assault with a firearm | PC 245(a)(2) | $50,000 |
| Burglary (first degree — residential) | PC 459 | $50,000 |
| Robbery (first degree) | PC 211 | $100,000 |
| DUI with injury | VC 23153 | $100,000 |
| Possession for sale (controlled substance) | HS 11351 | $30,000 |
| Grand theft (over $950) | PC 487 | $20,000 |
Why this timing matters: posting bail before arraignment locks in the scheduled amount. For serious felony charges, waiting until arraignment risks a judge setting a higher bail — especially if the defendant has a prior record or the DA argues for an increased amount.

When bail is set at $20,000 or $50,000 or higher, paying the full amount in cash is out of reach for most families. A bail bond solves this problem.
Under California Insurance Code § 1800.4, the standard bail bond premium is 10% of the total bail amount. For a $30,000 bail, you pay $3,000 to the bondsman — not $30,000 to the court. The bondsman posts the full amount as a surety bond with the court, guaranteeing the defendant's appearance at all required hearings. The 10% premium is earned when the bond is posted and is non-refundable.
