Why Choose Midnight In Colton
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.
Colton Runs Its Own Department — And Everything Here Is Close
Colton Police Department at 650 N La Cadena Dr, Colton, CA 92324 is an independent municipal agency with its own booking operation. That is worth confirming rather than assuming, because the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department contracts policing for a number of cities in this county and runs them under the city's own name. In Colton the city department has your person first, and there is a genuine municipal window where a bond can end the custody before anything moves. Colton's geography helps too — it is boxed in by San Bernardino, Rialto, Grand Terrace, and Loma Linda, and the county jail is minutes away rather than across the desert.
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. Colton 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 165 W Hospitality Ln Ste 19C, San Bernardino, CA 92408 covering Colton — a real office with real agents, not a national call center routing your case to a stranger.
How Bail Bonds Work In Colton
A Colton arrest begins with a city agency at a city facility. If the custody continues, it becomes a county matter a few minutes northeast.
Arrest & Booking Through Colton Police Department
Colton Police Department officers make the arrest and processing begins at 650 N La Cadena Dr, Colton, CA 92324. Prints, photograph, and record checks all have to clear before a bond is accepted — that part cannot be shortcut by anyone. Municipal holding is short-term by design, and a bond posted inside that window can end the custody before a county transfer changes the address.
Charge Checked Against The County Bail Schedule
Bail is set from the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b(c). This county has no Cite and Release or Book and Release tracks — that is Riverside's structure. San Bernardino runs a conventional schedule where Section B generally does not require bail on misdemeanors unless the offense is specifically listed.
Call Midnight — We Confirm Where They Are
Call (909) 643-8359 with a full legal name and date of birth. We check the Colton city booking and the San Bernardino 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 Colton 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 Colton arrests come from the San Bernardino County Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule (effective January 1, 2026), the same county-wide schedule used for every other city in San Bernardino County.

What Bail Bonds Cost In Colton
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 Colton 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 Colton 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.
Colton Jails We Serve

Colton Police Department
650 N La Cadena Dr, Colton, CA 92324
The city's independent municipal police department and the first stop for a Colton arrest. Short-term holding only — this is the window where a bond can end the custody before a county transfer.
Where Colton Arrestees Transfer
Central Detention Center
630 E Rialto Ave, San Bernardino, CA 92415
The county's downtown San Bernardino intake facility, about ten minutes northeast and the normal destination for a Colton hold that continues past municipal processing. A dedicated facility page is still being built.
Glen Helen Rehabilitation Center

The county's Devore facility northwest of San Bernardino at the bottom of the Cajon Pass. Not a first destination for a Colton arrest, but it appears on longer holds and classification moves.

Most Common Bail Charges In Colton
Bail is set by the San Bernardino County Superior Court schedule, not by the city — so a Colton 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 Colton
Colton is a city of roughly 54,000 people wedged between San Bernardino, Rialto, Grand Terrace, and Loma Linda, at the point where the 10 and the 215 cross. It is a rail town before it is anything else — the Colton Crossing, where the Union Pacific and BNSF lines meet, is one of the busiest rail junctions in the western United States, and the freeway interchange on top of it moves an enormous amount of through traffic. A meaningful share of Colton arrests involve people who were passing through the junction rather than living in the city.
Colton Police Department at 650 N La Cadena Dr is an independent municipal agency, the same category as Rialto and Redlands, and the opposite of Sheriff-contract cities like Highland. Independence is not the default in this county, so it is worth saying plainly: in Colton, the city has your person first.
Because the city is small and tightly bounded, jurisdiction questions come up constantly here. Someone stopped on the 215 may be a CHP matter rather than a Colton matter. Someone a few blocks the wrong way on La Cadena may be in San Bernardino. Someone near Loma Linda University Medical Center may be dealing with a different agency entirely. The first call we make is the one that establishes which agency actually has the booking, because guessing costs a family an hour it does not have.
Colton cases are filed in the San Bernardino County Superior Court system, with bail set from the county-wide schedule rather than a local rule. We are not naming a courthouse or department for a specific case on this page — that research is not finished, and a wrong assignment is worse than an honest gap. Use the court's own information until those pages are live. What we can confirm on the first call, before you pay anything, is whether the charge carries scheduled bail under the county bail schedule.
