If a loved one, a family member or you have been arrested by or are being investigated by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LAPD), Marina Del Rey Station, it can cause a lot of anxiety.
Facing such a situation, it can be good to know the bail amount (if any) associated with the offense if police deny an own recognizance (OR) release. It is also valuable to know what evidence is needed to convict one for the crime that allegedly took place, the defenses possible and the sentence a judge can impose if one is convicted of the crime.
We at Greg Hill & Associates believe it is smart to know a few more things before interacting with any branch of law enforcement. It can be helpful to know the size of the police or sheriff’s department, the area’s demographics, the most common types of crimes the department investigates and just a bit about the area’s history to make one’s communication with law enforcement more meaningful, more savvy and perhaps, more respectful. This can lead to a better outcome than if one lacks such perspective.
This article is presented with this goal in mind.

AHR has a height of about 170 feet (52 meters), 20 floors and can house a maximum of about 2,500 people (800 condominiums) which is almost 30% of the population of Marina del Rey.

For traffic matters that arise on the freeways (in this area, the I-405, the I-10 and the Marina Freeway (State Route 90)), California Highway Patrol (CHP) generally handles such matters, not the Marina Del Rey Station.
Most cases arising out of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Marina Del Rey Station’s areas of responsibility are brought at the Airport Courthouses, but some are also brought at the Clara Shortridge Foltz criminal courts building (CCB) at 210 West Temple Street in downtown Los Angeles. Cases that may be filed at CCB instead of at the Airport Courthouse would be very serious cases needing specialized prosecutors trained in handling such cases.
Over the last 25 years, our office has handled many shoplifting, DUI and domestic violence cases arising out the City of Marina Del Rey and brought in the Airport Courthouse.
