How to Find Someone Arrested in Anaheim
For an Anaheim inmate search, first confirm that Anaheim Police handled the arrest. Check the Anaheim Police Department's official "Who's in Jail" listing or contact the Anaheim Detention Facility to determine whether the person remains in local custody. If the person is not listed, booking may still be underway, the person may have been cited and released, or custody may have transferred to Orange County Sheriff. In that case, use the Orange County inmate-search resource. Newly arrested people may not appear immediately in either system while booking and data entry are in progress.
These are official government resources. Post It Bail Bonds does not operate or maintain any inmate database.
Anaheim Police Department
Anaheim operates its own police department — the Anaheim Police Department (APD). APD handles arrests within Anaheim city limits. After an arrest, the person is typically transported to the Anaheim Detention Facility at 425 S. Harbor Boulevard for booking, processing, and initial custody.
The Anaheim Detention Facility is operated by the Anaheim Police Department and may hold people during booking, processing, or short-term custody. Depending on the charges, holds, and available space, a person may later be transferred into Orange County Sheriff custody and housed at the Intake Release Center in Santa Ana, Theo Lacy Facility in Orange, or James A. Musick Facility in Irvine. Not every person arrested in Anaheim is transferred to the county system.
Bail Bond Process After a Anaheim Arrest
After the person is located, confirm the current custody location and available bail information. Bail may be set by the Orange County bail schedule or reviewed by a judge at arraignment. Post It Bail Bonds can begin a confidential bail inquiry with the defendant's full legal name, date of birth, booking number if available, custody location, alleged charges, and bail amount if known. Our agents review available information, explain the written bail bond agreement and obligations, and post the bond with the facility holding the defendant when appropriate. The detention facility controls release processing; no specific release time can be guaranteed.
