Facility Overview
The Brea Police jail is at 1 Civic Center Cir, Brea, CA 92821, at the police department in the civic center off Birch Street. It is a municipal holding facility operated by the city rather than by the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Brea runs an independent police department, so arrests inside city limits are booked here first. That creates a window in which a bond ends custody before the county takes over.
The department's history is worth naming plainly, because it still misdirects people. Brea PD provided contract police services to neighboring Yorba Linda for many years. Yorba Linda is now covered by the Orange County Sheriff's Department, so a Yorba Linda arrest today runs through the county system, not through this civic center counter. The two cities remain on the same North Justice Center calendar.
Bail comes from the countywide schedule and is set at booking. Nothing about the amount is decided here.

Hours & Visiting
Visiting runs on a scheduled, restricted calendar. Bail posting at the Brea Police jail does not — a bond can be accepted at any hour of any day.
| Bail bonds accepted | 24 hours a day, 7 days a week |
|---|---|
| Booking / intake | Continuous — Brea PD arrests booked on site |
| Visiting | Limited short-term holding — confirm with the department before traveling |
| Jail phone | (714) 990-7625 |
| Midnight Bail Bonds | Open 24 hours, every day |
If the arrest happened in Yorba Linda, start with the Sheriff rather than Brea. The old contract relationship sends people to the wrong building regularly.
Ask whether a transfer to county custody is pending before driving to the civic center. It decides whether the pickup is here or in Santa Ana.
Visiting at a short-term municipal facility is minimal by design. Bail posting has no equivalent restriction.
Court hours run on a separate clock. The North Justice Center keeps a weekday calendar; bonds are written at any hour.

Booking & Custody Process
How a Brea arrest moves through the civic center and onto the north county calendar.
Arrest By Brea PD
An independent municipal department covering downtown Brea, the Imperial Highway and Brea Boulevard corridors, the mall district, and the hillside neighborhoods along the county line.
Intake At 1 Civic Center Cir
Property, fingerprints, warrant checks, and screening. A booking still in intake cannot be released regardless of how quickly a bond is arranged.
Bail Set From The Uniform Schedule
Orange County sets bail at booking under the 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule adopted pursuant to Penal Code §1269b(c). The number exists before any court appearance.
Bond Window At The City Counter
A bond accepted here ends custody here, before the case becomes a county logistics problem.
Transfer To County Custody
Without a bond, custody moves into the Sheriff's system through the Flower Street complex in Santa Ana, with longer male holds commonly housed at Theo Lacy in Orange.
Court Transport Or Release
In-custody defendants are transported to the North Justice Center in Fullerton, the designated criminal and traffic court for this city.
How To Post Bail At the Brea Police jail
Premium on a California bail bond is set by the rate filed with the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800, the starting figure comes from the Orange County 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule (effective January 1, 2026), and review or reduction runs under Penal Code §1270.1.
Bail on a scheduled charge is set at booking, so a bond posts without waiting for a courtroom to open. At a city jail that turns an overnight stay into a few hours.
The amount comes from the Orange County 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule, adopted by the Superior Court under Penal Code §1269b(c). Countywide zero-bail has been rescinded in Orange County; the schedule governs. A judge may deviate at arraignment under Penal Code §1275, weighing public safety, the seriousness of the offense, and the defendant's record and likelihood of appearing.
On violent and serious felonies and a specific statutory list, Penal Code §1270.1 blocks release on any amount other than the scheduled figure until a hearing in open court.
In re Humphrey (2021) 11 Cal.5th 135 requires courts to consider ability to pay and non-financial conditions before setting money bail a defendant cannot afford — at the hearing in Fullerton, not at this counter.
Give us a full legal name and date of birth. We confirm which agency has the person and whether custody is still in Brea, verify the amount, and post at any hour. 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.
If A Court Date Is Missed After Release
A bond written at Brea Police Jail stays live through every appearance until the case resolves. A missed date can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day, with a limited statutory window to bring the defendant back before the forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner.
