- 1
Arrest and booking
People arrested by West Covina PD are usually booked at the city jail inside the police station, 1444 W Garvey Ave S. Booking usually takes about 2 hours.
- 2
Usually a protective order
In most DV arrests, an Emergency Protective Order (EPO) is issued. It usually means no contact with the other person, and it may mean they can't go back home for now. Your attorney can explain the order.
- 3
Holds
There is no automatic hold just because it's a DV arrest. In some cases, like some restraining order violations, a judge has to see them first. Chad checks for holds and posts as soon as the bond can be posted.
- 4
Release
After the bond is posted at the West Covina jail, release usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes. If they are moved to the county jail first, it takes much longer, so calling early matters.
- 5
Court
Most West Covina cases go to the West Covina Courthouse, 1427 W Covina Pkwy. At the first court date, the judge decides on any protective order for the case. Questions about the case go to your attorney.
If There Is a Protective Order
What matters for the bond. Questions about the order itself go to your attorney.
They may not be able to go home
If the other person lives in the same home, the order may keep them from going back, even for belongings.
No contact means all contact
Calls, texts, social media and messages through friends can all count. Chad goes over this before release.
The cosigner helps keep it on track
When you co-sign, you agree to help make sure they go to court and follow the release conditions.

What Can Slow Things Down
- Attitude, the biggest one. It's the jailers' world, we're just living in it. Once they're moved to the county jail, it's the Sheriff's world. Cooperate and be respectful, and the process moves. Be rude or uncooperative, and they may let you sit until someone has time, or until the next shift.
- High booking volume — just like a restaurant getting slammed, if they're booking 10 people at once, everyone waits. Busy holiday weekends are the worst, and some holidays are much busier than others.
- Multiple warrants, cases or names. If someone has several warrants or cases, or past arrests under different names or aliases, the background check simply takes longer.
- Shift change. If booking or release lands during a shift change, everything pauses until the new shift is settled.
- Officer or staffing shortages — if someone gets pulled from booking to cover the street, the line stops.
- The national background check. In Chad's experience, the system updates every morning around 5–6 AM, and a bond posted around then can be held up for hours.
- No valid government ID — a California driver's license or ID speeds up the NCIC check significantly. No good ID means a slower return.
- Lockdown or incident inside — a fight in one pod, even far from booking and release, pulls staff to that part of the jail, and the line stops. Outbreaks, like during COVID, can slow everything too.
- Medical or mental health clearance. If someone mentions a health problem at booking, like high blood pressure, missing their medication, or feeling like they want to die, staff must check them, sometimes watch them, and recheck them. A doctor or specific staff has to clear them before release, and after a shift change a new doctor may have to pick up the file. If staff think someone could be a danger to themselves, they can be moved to mental health housing inside the jail or put on a mental health hold (often called a 5150), and release can take much longer. It adds time, but if someone needs care, they should always say so.
- Questioning. If police want information, like on a warrant or a case with more than one person charged, they may set them to the side for a while so detectives can talk to them. When you turn yourself in with Chad, that usually doesn't happen: you're there to book in, not to talk. In Chad's experience, saying your attorney advised you not to make a statement is respected, and booking moves on.
“The only thing consistent about government workers is their inconsistency.” And: “If you don't like the answer, call back after shift change.”
These are real-world averages based on Chad's experience — not guarantees. Every arrest is different. Chad will give you an honest estimate when you call, based on what he knows about current conditions at this facility.

Where do West Covina DV arrests go?
Most are booked at the West Covina Police jail, 1444 W Garvey Ave S. It is a small jail that can hold people for up to 96 hours. If they are not released there, men are usually moved to Twin Towers in Los Angeles and women to Century Regional in Lynwood.
Can the person who called 911 post the bail?
Sometimes. If there is a no-contact order, that gets complicated, so Chad will talk it through with you honestly before anything is signed.
Can they go home after release?
Not if a protective order keeps them away from the home. Breaking the order can mean re-arrest. Plan where they will stay before the bond is posted.
How much does a DV bail bond cost?
Most of Chad's bonds are written at 6%, 7% or 8%. Smaller bonds, under $20,000, can be up to 10% because of posting fees. Payment plans are available, and Chad takes cards, Apple Pay, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle and cash.
