How to Find Someone in Anaheim Jail
Start with the Anaheim Police Department's official custody search. If the person is not listed, call the detention facility directly or check whether custody has transferred to Orange County Sheriff.
- 1
Gather the person's full legal name, approximate age, and arrest details you know. Date of birth can help when contacting the facility.
- 2
Open the Anaheim Police Department's official "Who's In Jail" page at pd.anaheim.net.
- 3
Enter the required last name. Use additional fields available in the official form to narrow the results.
- 4
Check identifying details carefully before assuming a result concerns the correct person.
- 5
If the person is missing from the search, call Anaheim Detention Facility at (714) 765-1988 and ask whether booking is underway or custody has changed.
- 6
If a county transfer is suspected, check the Orange County Sheriff inmate information system and confirm the current facility before traveling or arranging a bond.
These are official government resources. Post It Bail Bonds does not operate or maintain any inmate database.
How to Find an Anaheim Booking Number or Bail Amount
Start with the official custody search and facility contact. Online information may be limited — not every result displays charges, a booking number, or bail. When calling, have the following ready:
- The person's full legal name
- Date of birth, if known
- Approximate arrest date
Ask the facility which agency currently holds the person, whether a booking number is available, and whether bail information can be provided. Confirm the holding facility before arranging a bond. A person may begin a private bail inquiry without already knowing every detail — call Post It Bail Bonds at (657) 223-6262 with whatever information you have.
How to Check Whether Someone Was Transferred to Orange County Jail
Anaheim city custody and Orange County Sheriff custody are separate systems. A missing city search result alone does not prove a transfer or release. Follow these steps to confirm:
- 1Contact Anaheim Detention Facility at (714) 765-1988 to ask whether the person is still in city custody or has been transferred.
- 2Check the official OC Sheriff inmate information system if a county transfer is possible.
- 3Confirm the currently assigned facility and available booking information before making any arrangements.
- 4Reconfirm the location before visiting or arranging bail — custody can change during processing.
Depending on charges, holds, and available space, a person may be housed at the Intake Release Center in Santa Ana, Theo Lacy Facility in Orange, James A. Musick Facility in Irvine, or the Central Men's or Women's Jail. Not every Anaheim arrest follows the same route.
How to Visit Someone at Anaheim Jail
The city currently lists general visitation from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, excluding the booking day. A separate work-furlough schedule lists 2–5 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Before traveling, take these steps:

Once you have located the person and confirmed custody, here are the next steps for arranging bail:
- 1
Contact Post It Bail Bonds
Call (657) 223-6262 or submit the inquiry form on this page. Share available identifying and custody information — you do not need every detail to begin.
- 2
Review bail information and the agreement
An agent will review confirmed bail information, eligibility, the written bail bond agreement, the premium, and any applicable payment terms with you.
- 3
Confirm the holding facility
Confirm the current holding facility before bond posting. Custody can change during processing.

What if the person is not appearing in either system?
Booking may still be underway, the name may be entered differently, the person may remain at the Anaheim facility, or the person may have been cited, released, transferred, or taken for medical clearance. Check both official systems and contact the appropriate agency. A missing result alone does not confirm release.
How do I find an Anaheim booking number or bail amount?
Check the Anaheim "Who's in Jail" listing at pd.anaheim.net or contact the Anaheim Detention Facility at (714) 765-1988. Provide the person's full legal name and date of birth. If transferred, the Orange County Sheriff system may provide county booking information. Bail may be set by the county schedule or reviewed at arraignment.
Can I start a bail bond inquiry without complete information?
Yes. Call Post It Bail Bonds at (657) 223-6262 with whatever information you have. Our agents can help locate custody information and explain what is needed to proceed. Having the defendant's full legal name and date of birth is a useful starting point.
Where are Anaheim arrestees taken after a county transfer?
A person transferred into Orange County Sheriff custody may be processed through the Intake Release Center in Santa Ana. Later housing depends on classification, medical needs, available space, and other custody considerations. The Central Men's and Women's Jails are among the possible county placements.
Does Anaheim have its own detention facility?
Yes. The Anaheim Detention Facility is located at 425 S. Harbor Boulevard in Anaheim. It is operated by the Anaheim Police Department and may hold people arrested in Anaheim during booking, processing, or short-term custody.
How long can booking and release take?
There is no guaranteed booking or release time. Identity verification, warrant checks, medical clearance, staffing, holds, transfers, and facility workload can all affect the process.
How do I find the person's court date?
Search Orange County Superior Court case information at occourts.org using the person's name or case number. Court information may not appear until a case has been filed and entered into the court system.
What information is needed to arrange an Anaheim bail bond?
Gather the defendant's full legal name, date of birth, booking number if available, arresting agency, custody location, alleged charges, and bail amount if known. Call Post It Bail Bonds at (657) 223-6262 if some information is unavailable.
