Arrests in Big Bear Lake
The San Bernardino County Sheriff lists Big Bear Lake among its patrol station communities, and local law-enforcement and court activity is centered around 477 Summit Blvd., Big Bear Lake, CA 92315. Someone arrested in the Big Bear Valley may be held locally for a short time after booking.
Mountain arrests often transfer down the hill to a Type II county facility — commonly Central Detention Center in San Bernardino or West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga. Because the destination can vary, confirm the current location with the Sheriff's bail line at (909) 350-2476 or the online inmate locator.
Big Bear Lake is about 32 miles from our San Bernardino office via SR-18 or SR-330. Mountain roads and winter weather can slow travel, so we usually handle paperwork remotely.
