The La Habra Police Department Jail is located at 150 N Euclid St, La Habra, CA 90631, and serves as the primary holding facility for people arrested within La Habra city limits. The La Habra PD Jail operates as a short-term facility — it is not designed for long-term custody. Most people who pass through this jail are either released on bail, cited and released, or transferred to a larger Orange County facility within 72 hours.
Arrests in La Habra are made by La Habra Police Department officers. Once someone is taken into custody, they are transported to the La Habra City Jail for the booking process. Families trying to locate someone who was just arrested can call the La Habra PD at (562) 383-4300 for inmate information, though booking records may not appear immediately.
After booking, the three most common outcomes are: (1) citation and release on your own recognizance for minor offenses, (2) release after bail is posted, or (3) transfer to an Orange County Sheriff's Department facility — typically the Orange County Jail (Central Men's Jail or IRC) at 550 N Flower St, Santa Ana — for those facing more serious charges or who cannot post bail.
Booking is a standardized sequence of intake steps that every newly arrested person goes through. At La Habra, this process typically takes anywhere from 1 to 24 hours depending on the number of people being processed and staffing at the time of arrest. Weekend nights and holiday periods take longer.
The Superior Court of California, County of Orange publishes both a Felony Bail Schedule and a Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule each year, effective January 1. These schedules establish the standard bail amount for each charge. Because La Habra is in Orange County, all arrests here fall under these bail amounts.
The following are representative amounts from the Orange County bail schedule for common charge categories:
| Charge | Penal Code / Code Section | Bail Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Assault with deadly weapon (not firearm) | PC 245(a)(1) | $30,000 |
| Assault with a firearm | PC 245(a)(2) | $50,000 |
| Robbery (first degree) | PC 211 | $100,000 |
| Residential burglary | PC 459 | $50,000 |
| DUI with injury | VC 23153 | $100,000 |
| Possession for sale (controlled substance) | HS 11351 | $30,000 |
| Felony domestic violence with injury | PC 273.5 | $50,000 |
These amounts are set at booking, before a judge reviews the case. Under California Penal Code § 825, an arraignment must occur within 48 hours of arrest (excluding Sundays and court holidays). If bail is posted before arraignment, it is locked in at the schedule amount. After arraignment, a judge can raise or lower bail based on the defendant's criminal history, flight risk, and community ties.
For defendants with prior strike convictions under California's Three Strikes law, the Orange County bail schedule adds substantial enhancements — $200,000 per prior strike, and $300,000 for a third-strike prior. These enhancements stack on top of the base bail amount.
Most families cannot produce $30,000 to $100,000 in cash on short notice. That is the problem a bail bond solves. When you work with Angels Bail Bonds, here is exactly how it works:
