Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department - Temple Station

If you, a loved one or a family member have been arrested by or are being investigated by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LAPD), Temple Station, it can cause a lot of questions and worries. 

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 wise to know a few more things before interacting with any branch of law enforcement.  It can be smart 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.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, Temple Station, is located at. 

It is a large station with an unspecified number of sworn police officers and an unspecified number of civilian support personnel assigned to it. 

The Temple Station is responsible for patrolling Chantry Flats, Monrovia-Arcadia-Duarte, the City of Bradbury, the City of Duarte, the City of Rosemead, the City of South El Monte, the City of Temple City, North San Gabriel / East Pasadena and South San Gabriel.

Temple City itself has a population of 36,494 as of the 2020 census. 

Most cases arising out of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Temple Station’s areas of responsibility are brought at the Alhambra or El Monte Courthouse, 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 Alhambra or El Monte Courthouses would be very serious cases needing specialized prosecutors trained in handling such cases.

Over the last 25 years, our office has handled over one hundred cases arising out the Temple Sheriff’s station and brought in the Alhambra or El Monte Courthouse.  Such cases vary from DUI to domestic violence, to assault with a deadly weapon, to illegal possession of brass knuckles, to criminal threats, to shoplifting to solicitation of prostitution.
