The Police Station Is 475 Feet From the Courthouse. The Jail Is Nineteen Miles Away.
Stamford's booking facility and its courthouse are effectively neighbors - the Judicial Branch's own directions to GA-1 say "turn right onto Hoyt Street at the Stamford Police Station." But Stamford has no pre-trial jail, and that is where the delay actually comes from.
All in-city arrests are booked here, a short walk from the courthouse. If bail is set and met before transfer, this is where release happens - and it is by far the fastest path. Phone: (203) 977-4444.
Arraignments and court-set bonds for eight towns. Chief Clerk's Office: (203) 965-5208. Bail Services: (203) 965-5248. Hours 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, doors open 8:30 AM, parking on site.
Stamford has no pre-trial detention facility. Defendants not released after booking go here - 19 miles away, a Level 4 facility that serves the Stamford court. Once that transfer happens, the bond goes to Bridgeport, not Bedford Street. Phone: (475) 225-8000.
Establishing which of those three buildings your person is in is the first thing we do on the phone. It is also the step that most often goes wrong.
What Every Stamford Family Needs to Know Before They Call Anyone Else
- It is important to mention that not many families expect that Stamford does not have its own pre-trial detention center, and therefore families think that their loved one will be released soon through posting bail while they have already been transferred to the Bridgeport Correctional Center. After being booked at Stamford Police Department, arrested individuals will be sent to Bridgeport Correction Facility located approximately nineteen miles from Stamford.
- The Premium Rate Determined by the State: The state of Connecticut determines the premium associated with bail bonds at 10% for the first $5000 and 7% for the subsequent amount. That means that all bail bondsmen in the state charge the exact same premium.
The Process of Arrest and Release
- Arrest and booking at the Stamford Police Department (725 Bedford Street): Stamford police make arrests within the city at their Bedford Street location in the police station. Therefore, this is the time when you should contact us.
- Transfer to Bridgeport Correctional Center: Stamford police do not hold people in jail for overnight stays. Once the booking is completed for someone not released immediately, they are moved to Bridgeport Correctional Center.
- Setting the Bail: At GA-1 (123 Hoyt Street), the bail is set by a bail commissioner or a judge in Superior Court. The bail amount depends on many factors, such as severity of the charge, previous felony or misdemeanor convictions, and family ties to the community. GA-1 is one of the busiest arraignment courts because it serves eight towns in lower Fairfield County.
- Calling Liza Davis Bail Bonds: As soon as you hear that someone has been arrested, you should call us at (860) 818-7078 even before the bail is set. Be ready to provide us with the full name and date of birth of the arrested person.
- Bond Agreement: There is no need for a face to face meeting during the bond process. Bond agreements are signed electronically without the person having to leave the house or to drive somewhere.
