The Taft Police Department provides protection to approximately 10 square miles and 7,000 people.

The Taft Police Department is a professional law enforcement organization that takes great pride in their department and the service they provide to the citizens of Taft. Their officers and civilian employees are all competent and dedicated men and women who strive to meet the service demands of residents.

When someone has been taken into custody in Taft, they will typically be transported to the Taft Police Department Jail for booking and processing. The Taft Police Department operates a Type I Jail facility for pre-arraignment prisoners. Further, the Police Department also administers a 460 bed Community Correctional Facility that contracts with the State of California Department of Corrections to house state inmates.

THE BAIL PROCESS

When a defendant first arrives at the Taft jail, the Police will “book” the prisoner into the system which can often take from 2-8 hours.  This generally includes photographs, fingerprints, checking a nationwide database for warrants, documenting personal property, etc.  Once the inmate is processed, bail will be set according to the county's bail schedule.

It's important to know that we cannot “post bond” until the booking process is completed.  We can always assist in providing further jail information and help you to understand the bail bond process so that you make the best decisions about how to move forward. And, if you’d like, one of our professional bondsmen can meet with you directly at the jail.
