Dana Point
Bail Bonds
Dana Point has no municipal police department. The city contracts with the Orange County Sheriff's Department, which runs Dana Point Police Services from 33282 Golden Lantern, Suite 140. A harbor city with a seasonal crowd and a long drive to the county jail. 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.

Open 24 hours, 7 days a week
We don't keep a Dana Point storefront. The city is worked from our staffed downtown Los Angeles office, with a licensed agent delivering the bond to whichever Sheriff's facility is actually holding the person — the Golden Lantern station does not do long-term custody.

Why Choose Midnight In Dana Point
Licensed agents on every shift, honest answers about where your family member actually is, and financing built for families who didn't plan on an arrest this week.
A Coastal Sheriff-Contract City — And The Harbor Changes The Call Volume, Not The Agency
Dana Point does not run its own police department. Law enforcement is provided under contract by the Orange County Sheriff's Department, operating as Dana Point Police Services at 33282 Golden Lantern, Suite 140, Dana Point, CA 92629, (949) 770-6011. Dana Point Harbor, the Doheny and Salt Creek beaches, and the summer visitor volume drive a distinctly seasonal pattern of alcohol-related and public-order arrests — but the agency handling all of it is the Sheriff, and Sheriff's marine and harbor patrol operations work the water side. The Golden Lantern office is patrol and community services, not a jail: a Dana Point booking goes into the county jail system, most commonly through the Intake Release Center in Santa Ana, roughly 25 miles north.
24/7 Availability
A licensed agent answers the phone at 3 a.m. on a Sunday the same way we answer at 3 p.m. on a Wednesday. Dana Point bookings do not wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Bilingual Agents
English and Spanish-speaking agents on every shift. Premium, cosigner obligations, and payment terms get explained in the language your family actually speaks.
No Collateral In Most Cases
Most bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified signature alone — no property, no pink slip. Above that, collateral may be requested depending on the charge and how the cosigner qualifies.
Affordable Payment Plans
California fixes the premium at 10% of the bail. The down payment is what flexes — as low as 1% on approved credit, with the balance on a written plan.
Licensed & Accountable
California License #1846101, with a staffed office at 965 N Vignes St #5, Los Angeles, CA 90012 covering Dana Point — a real office with real agents, not a national call center routing your case to a stranger.
How Bail Bonds Work In Dana Point
A Dana Point arrest is a Sheriff's arrest. Deputies book into the county system directly — there is no city jail and no municipal records desk.
Arrest & Booking By Orange County Sheriff's Deputies
Dana Point Police Services deputies make the arrest. The station at 33282 Golden Lantern, Suite 140, Dana Point, CA 92629, (949) 770-6011 handles patrol, investigations, and community services. Booking runs into the Orange County Sheriff's jail system, most commonly through the Intake Release Center at 550 N Flower Street in Santa Ana. Confirm the facility before making the drive north.
Charge Checked Against The Orange County Bail Schedule
Bail comes from the 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule of the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, approved by the judges under Penal Code §1269b(c) and effective January 1, 2026. Misdemeanors and infractions are scheduled here, unlike in San Bernardino County, and felony bail is computed per case from the highest single count plus enhancements. Larceny and fraud offenses use the scheduled amount or the loss amount, whichever is higher.
Call Midnight — We Confirm Where They Are
Call (213) 295-7796 with a full legal name and date of birth. We check the Dana Point city booking and the Orange County system, tell you where they are right now, and read back the exact bail amount and premium before you pay anything.
Qualification & Approval
A short cosigner conversation — employment, residence, and how the balance gets paid. Most approvals take minutes, and most Dana Point bonds require no collateral.
Bond Posted Where They Actually Are
We post at the facility holding the defendant, whether that's the city jail or the county jail system in Santa Ana, Orange, and Irvine after transfer. Release from a municipal booking area is usually faster; the county facilities run a processing queue that can take several hours, longer on weekends and holidays.
Payment Plan Begins
The remaining premium is paid on the written schedule agreed up front. No surprise fees, and we remind you of every court date so the bond stays in good standing.
Bail amounts for Dana Point arrests come from the Orange County 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule (effective January 1, 2026), the same county-wide schedule used for every other city in Orange County.

What Bail Bonds Cost In Dana Point
The premium is fixed by California law. The down payment is where we can help.
The Premium Is 10% — By Law
Bail premium rates in California are filed with and approved by the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800. A bondsman quoting a Dana Point family less than the filed 10% premium as the total cost is quoting something they can't legally deliver.
The Premium Is Earned, Not Refundable
Once the bond is posted the premium is earned in full — whether the case is dismissed at arraignment or runs two years. That's the price of the surety, not a deposit held against the bail.
The Down Payment Is What's Negotiable
Down payments start as low as 1% of the bail on approved credit. The remainder of the 10% premium is financed on a written plan with fixed installments you agree to before signing.
Collateral Isn't Usually Required
Most Dana Point bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified cosigner's signature. Larger bonds may call for collateral depending on the charge and the cosigner's file.
| Bail Amount | 10% Premium | Down At 1% |
|---|---|---|
| $20,000 | $2,000 | $200 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 |
The 1% figure is a down payment on approved credit, not a discounted premium — the full 10% is still owed on the payment plan. For the full 1% through 10% tier comparison and who qualifies for each, see affordable bail bonds.

Most Common Bail Charges In Dana Point
Bail is set by the Superior Court of California, County of Orange schedule, not by the city — so a Dana Point booking starts from the same figures as one anywhere else in the county. The ranges below are county schedule ranges, not city-specific numbers.
DUI
County schedule range: $5,000 – $100,000
A first misdemeanor DUI sits at the low end of the schedule and can sometimes release on citation. Priors, injury, or a high BAC push the amount up fast.
View PageDomestic Violence
County schedule range: $50,000 – $100,000
Corporal injury filings book high and usually come with a protective order at arraignment. Release conditions matter as much as the bond — we walk cosigners through both before anything is signed.
View PageDrug Possession & Sale
County schedule range: $10,000 – $100,000+
Simple possession books low and often qualifies for diversion. Possession for sale and transportation book far higher, and weight or priors move the number quickly.
View PageAssault & Battery
PC §240 / §245(a)(1)
County schedule range: $25,000 – $50,000
Simple battery books at the low end. Assault with a deadly weapon is a strike-eligible felony and books substantially higher, often with additional enhancements filed.
View PageTheft & Burglary
PC §484/§487 and PC §459
County schedule range: $20,000 – $50,000
Petty theft books low; grand theft and first-degree residential burglary book substantially higher and carry felony jail or prison exposure. Burglary has its own dedicated page on this site.
View PageAbout Dana Point
Dana Point sits on the south Orange County coast between Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel, San Juan Capistrano, and San Clemente. Pacific Coast Highway, Del Obispo Street, and the Golden Lantern corridor carry the traffic down to Dana Point Harbor, with the 5 inland. The harbor, Doheny State Beach, Salt Creek, and the Monarch Beach resorts define the city and its visitor traffic. Arrests skew seasonal: DUI and alcohol-related calls around the harbor and PCH, beach and public-order matters in summer, and domestic calls year-round.
Policing is contracted to the Sheriff, the same as the neighboring south-county cities we cover — San Clemente, Laguna Niguel, and San Juan Capistrano. One department, one records system, one countywide bail schedule; only the city name on the paperwork changes.
Dana Point cases are filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, with bail set from the county-wide 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule. Criminal and traffic matters arising in Dana Point are designated to the Harbor Justice Center at 4601 Jamboree Road in Newport Beach, under the Orange County Superior Court Court Designation List effective June 30, 2025. What we confirm immediately on the phone is the facility, the scheduled bail for the actual charge, and whether PC §1270.1 freezes that figure until a judge sees the case.
