What should I do if someone is arrested in California?
Verify official booking details first, then call a licensed bail agent if a surety bond is appropriate. The Bail Plug answers 24/7 and explains cosigner responsibilities before you sign—because bail decisions are financial, not just emotional.
How the bail bond process works
Four steps from arrest to release. We guide you through every one.
Call or Text 24/7
