Facility Overview
The Fountain Valley Police jail is at 10200 Slater Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708, at the police department in the Slater Avenue civic center. It is a municipal holding facility operated by the city rather than by the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Fountain Valley 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 city sits between Huntington Beach, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and Garden Grove, which is why the venue question comes up so often. Fountain Valley is a west county city for court purposes: the designated criminal and traffic court is the West Justice Center in Westminster. Proximity to Santa Ana does not change that.
Bail comes from the countywide schedule and is set at booking. Nothing about the amount is decided at this counter.

Ask whether a transfer to county custody is pending before driving to Slater Avenue. That answer decides whether the pickup is here or in Santa Ana.
Do not assume the courthouse from the map. Fountain Valley's court is west in Westminster, not the closer Santa Ana complex.
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 West Justice Center keeps a weekday calendar; bonds are written at any hour.

Booking & Custody Process
How a Fountain Valley arrest moves through Slater Avenue and onto the west county calendar.
Arrest By Fountain Valley PD
An independent municipal department covering the residential grid and the Brookhurst, Warner, and Talbert corridors. Arrests inside city limits are booked by the city first.
Intake At 10200 Slater Ave
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 drive to Santa Ana or Orange becomes part of the family's day.
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 West Justice Center in Westminster, the designated criminal and traffic court for this city.
How To Post Bail At the Fountain Valley 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 Westminster, not at this counter.
Give us a full legal name and date of birth. We confirm whether custody is still in Fountain Valley, 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 Fountain Valley 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.
