Chula Vista City Jail

The Chula Vista Police Department operates its own Type II Jail facility, one of only two Type II facilities in Southern California. 

The 8,850 square foot, state of the art, 48 bed, 13 cell facility was completed in 2004 at a cost of $3,100,000.00 

In  2004 the facility operated as a local holding facility.  At that time prisoners were held only long enough to arrange transport to County Jail or Las Colinas Women's Detention Facility. 

In September of 2005, the facility started operations as a Type I Jail, holding local inmates up to 96 hours for court pre-arraignment. 

In December of 2006 the facility began operating as a Type I/II Combination  facility, holding local pre-arraignment inmates up to 96 hours and State inmates for up to sixty days.
