Facility Overview

Harbor Police patrol the bayfront, the port tidelands, and San Diego International Airport. The address is 3380 N Harbor Dr, San Diego, CA 92101.

An arrest at the airport or on the waterfront is often a Harbor Police arrest, not an SDPD one — which is why families cannot find the booking under the city department.

Arrestees are delivered into county custody at San Diego Central Jail, or Las Colinas for women.

The reason speed matters at Harbor Police is arithmetic, not sales talk. While a defendant is still in city custody, a bond produces a local release. Once the county takes over, the same bond runs through a larger facility with a longer queue.

Bail bonds24 hours a day, 7 days a week, holidays included
BookingContinuous — arrests are processed at any hour
Records counterTypically weekday business hours
HoldingShort-term; transfer follows processing

Harbor Police books arrests at any hour, but the window before a county transfer is short.

A release from a small city facility is normally faster than the same release after transfer — the paperwork is shorter and the queue is smaller.

Booking & Custody Process

Here is the sequence at Harbor Police, from the arrest to the point where a bond can be posted.

01

Arrest and arrival

Officers bring the arrestee to the facility and begin processing.

02

Booking and identification

Fingerprints, photographs, personal property, and a records check. Until this finishes, no bail amount is attached to anyone and there is nothing to post against.

03

Bail is set

Most charges carry a figure straight from the San Diego County bail schedule. A hold, an enhancement, or a probation violation can change that, and it is worth knowing which situation you are in before you plan around a number.

04

Bond posted or transfer happens

Arrestees are delivered into county custody at San Diego Central Jail, or Las Colinas for women.

How To Post Bail At Harbor Police

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 San Diego County Superior Court felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, and review or reduction runs under Penal Code §1270.1.

A bail bond at Harbor Police costs 10% of the bail amount — the premium set under California law. Armstrong writes bonds here 24 hours a day, and financing starts as low as 1% down on approved credit.

We start with a full legal name and date of birth. From there we locate the booking, confirm the facility currently holding the defendant, verify the bail amount against the San Diego County schedule, and prepare the bond.

Nothing about the paperwork requires you to be at the facility. Everything can be signed remotely, which matters when the drive across San Diego County is an hour each way.

If A Court Date Is Missed After Release

A bond written at San Diego Harbor Police 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.

Who is writing this bond

A family that has posted bail in California since 1926

Cecil C. Armstrong opened our Glendale office in 1926. Four generations later, Bill Armstrong (CEO) and Nikki Armstrong (Co-CEO & Licensed Bail Agent) — the fourth generation of the family — still run the company, and our agents still answer the phone themselves. When you call about an arrest in Los Angeles or San Diego County, you reach a licensed Armstrong agent, not a national call center that hands your file to a stranger in another state.
