After an arrest in Yuma County, the case may begin with an initial appearance and move through Superior Court, one of the county's three Justice Courts or a municipal court. Apex Bail Bonds is available around the clock to help families understand the bond information and what is required to move toward release.

The Yuma County Detention Center is operated by the Sheriff's Office Detention Bureau. The facility receives, processes and houses defendants awaiting trial as well as other inmates at different stages of the criminal-justice process.
One advantage for families trying to locate someone is that the Sheriff's Office currently provides a public Inmate Web Portal. You can search using the defendant's name, subject number or booking number and filter for people currently in custody.





Before a surety bond can move forward, the defendant's release conditions must be established. In Yuma County, in-custody initial appearances are conducted for county courts through the Justice Court's Initial Appearance Master.
Once a monetary bond has been set and surety release is permitted, call Apex with the defendant's information. We'll explain the bail bond requirements, review the cost and paperwork with you, and help complete the bond.
Once the bond has been accepted, the defendant isn't necessarily released immediately. Detention personnel still need to complete the jail's release procedures and confirm that no additional holds or court requirements prevent the person from leaving custody.
When an arrest happens outside normal court hours, Apex remains available to discuss the defendant's custody and available bond information.
