Cathedral City
Bail Bonds
Cathedral City is the second-largest city in the Coachella Valley after Indio, and it runs its own police department on Avenida Lalo Guerrero rather than contracting with the Sheriff. Custody, though, is still a county function — and that means Indio or Banning. We post at all of them, 24 hours a day. 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.

Midnight Bail Bonds Riverside
3959 Market St Ste C, Riverside, CA 92501
Open 24 hours, 7 days a week
We don't keep a Cathedral City branch. The valley is covered from our staffed Riverside office on Market Street, out the 10 — and since valley custody lands at the Benoit Detention Center in Indio, most Cathedral City families drive east rather than west.

Why Choose Midnight In Cathedral City
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 City Department, A County Jail — Two Different Buildings
Cathedral City Police Department at 68700 Avenida Lalo Guerrero, Cathedral City, CA 92234, (760) 770-0300 is an independent municipal agency, and it is where an arrest inside city limits starts. It is not where a multi-day hold ends. Coachella Valley custody belongs to the Sheriff, which in practice means the John J. Benoit Detention Center in Indio. Families who assume one building handles both lose hours. We separate the two on the first call.
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. Cathedral City 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 3959 Market St Ste C, Riverside, CA 92501 covering Cathedral City — a real office with real agents, not a national call center routing your case to a stranger.
How Bail Bonds Work In Cathedral City
A Cathedral City arrest runs city-first, county-second: municipal officers process the arrest, the county's October 2025 bail schedule sets the number, and the bond posts wherever custody actually sits.
Arrest & Processing By Cathedral City Police
Cathedral City Police Department, 68700 Avenida Lalo Guerrero, Cathedral City, CA 92234, (760) 770-0300, handles arrests within city limits. Prints, photo, and record checks have to clear before a bond can post — and that processing window, not the bond itself, is usually what sets your timeline.
Charge Checked Against The 2025 County Schedule
Bail is set from the Riverside County Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule effective October 20, 2025, a county-wide document that also sorts offenses into Cite and Release, Book and Release, Pre-Arraignment Review, and standard bail.
Call Midnight — We Confirm Where They Are
Call (951) 692-7388 with a full legal name and date of birth. We check the Cathedral City city booking and the Riverside 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 Cathedral City 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 detention centers 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 Cathedral City arrests come from the Riverside County Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule (effective October 20, 2025), the same county-wide schedule used for every other city in Riverside County.

What Bail Bonds Cost In Cathedral City
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 Cathedral City 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 Cathedral City 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.
Cathedral City Jails We Serve
Cathedral City sits between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage with no county jail of its own. Custody runs east to Indio, or occasionally west over the Pass.
Cathedral City Police Department
68700 Avenida Lalo Guerrero, Cathedral City, CA 92234
(760) 770-0300
The city's independent municipal police department. Treat this as the arrest and processing address — extended custody moves into the county system rather than staying in Cathedral City.
Where Cathedral City Arrestees Transfer
John J. Benoit Detention Center
82675 Highway 111, Indio, CA 92201
(760) 863-8200
The Sheriff's Coachella Valley detention center in Indio, roughly twenty-five minutes east on the 10. The most likely destination for a Cathedral City hold that continues past processing.
Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility
1627 S Hargrave St, Banning, CA 92220
(951) 922-7300
The Sheriff's Pass-area facility west of the valley. Less typical for a Cathedral City booking than Indio, but it is a real possibility depending on classification and population.
What We Need When You Call
Have these ready and we can locate the booking — city jail or county — and quote the premium on the first call.
Defendant's Full Legal Name
First, middle, and last as it appears on their ID. Nicknames slow the jail search.
Date of Birth
Prevents confusion when multiple people share the same name in the booking system.
City or County of Arrest
Tells us which jail to check first — Riverside, San Bernardino, LA, Orange, or San Diego.
Booking Number (If Available)
Not required, but if you have it, it speeds up locating the record considerably.
Cosigner Contact Info
Cosigner's name, phone, employer, and general credit range — this is what determines your financing terms.
Your Relationship to the Defendant
Family, friend, or coworker — helps us know who to loop in on updates and paperwork.
Most Common Bail Charges In Cathedral City
Bail is set by the Riverside County Superior Court schedule, not by the city — so a Cathedral City 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 Cathedral City
Cathedral City is a city of roughly 51,000 people wedged between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage along Highway 111, the second-largest city in the Coachella Valley after Indio. It has a genuine downtown core, a dense residential grid, and — relevant here — its own police department rather than a Sheriff's contract.
That independence matters for the first hour and much less after it. Cathedral City officers make the arrest and handle processing at 68700 Avenida Lalo Guerrero. Once a hold continues, the Sheriff's detention system takes over, and in this valley that means the Benoit Detention Center in Indio. It is a different agency, a different building, and a different phone number from the one you started with.
Cathedral City cases are filed in the Riverside County Superior Court system with bail set from the county-wide schedule. We won't name a courthouse or department for a specific case — assignments depend on the filing, and the court's own information is the right source. What we can tell you immediately is whether the charge falls into one of the 2025 no-bail release categories, which sometimes makes a bond unnecessary altogether.
