The Avalon PD serves as a brief holding facility for the Police Department and agencies within the judicial district of Los Angeles County. Located at 215 Sumner Ave in Avalon, CA, this facility accommodates arrestees awaiting transfer to the nearest detention facility that issued the arrest warrant. Following the transfer, offenders are arraigned and charged before a magistrate at the County Courthouse. Bail determinations are made at this stage. For further inmate information, please get in touch with the booking department at 310-510-0174 or click here for the latest arrest records.

Operating without an on-site detention facility, the Police Department functions as the central hub for law enforcement and administrative activities within the areas of Santa Catalina Island, City of Avalon, Ocean Waters between the islands and mainland Southern CA, San Clemente Island. The department's responsibilities extend across a broad spectrum, including law enforcement, community policing, criminal investigations, and administrative support. The police officers are tasked with maintaining public safety, responding to emergencies, conducting investigations, and enforcing court orders.

Upon the arrest of an individual within the city, the Department oversees the initial booking process, which involves recording personal information, documenting the arrest, and taking fingerprints and photographs. Due to the absence of a holding jail at the sheriff's administrative facility, arrestees are promptly transferred to a nearby county jail. This detention facility is specifically designed to house inmates and manage their needs from the time of arrest through the adjudication of their cases.

The transfer to the county jail ensures that detainees are securely housed in a facility equipped to deal with various security and logistical requirements. This center provides essential services such as housing, meals, medical care, and access to legal resources. Additionally, it facilitates visitation, and communication with family members and legal representatives, and offers programs that may assist in rehabilitation or legal defense.

This Department focuses on its core enforcement and administrative duties while collaborating closely with the regional detention center to ensure that arrested individuals are appropriately processed and securely held until their legal matters are resolved. This partnership allows the police to concentrate on maintaining law and order within the city while leveraging the resources and infrastructure of the regional detention facility for effective inmate management.
