At the Solano County Hall of Justice (600 Union Avenue, Fairfield) for felonies and major misdemeanors. The Solano County District Attorney’s office handles charging.

Does Vallejo Police handle cases differently than other Bay Area agencies?

VPD has its own use-of-force, body-camera, and interrogation policies. The department has been under significant public scrutiny and is subject to ongoing oversight measures. We obtain VPD policy, complete discovery, and the relevant Internal Affairs and IBN (Investigation, Body-camera, Narrative) records for every case.

What is the Solano County bail process?

After arrest in Vallejo, you are typically booked at the Solano County Detention Facility (Fairfield). Bail is set per the Solano County bail schedule unless the charge is non-bailable. An attorney can request bail review at first court appearance (typically within 48 hours of arrest, excluding weekends and holidays).

Can a Vallejo DUI affect my license if I live across the bridge in Contra Costa?

Yes. DMV license suspension applies regardless of where you live in California — it is statewide. A DUI conviction or APS suspension in Solano County affects your driving privileges everywhere in the state. You must request a DMV Administrative Per Se hearing within 10 days of arrest to preserve your rights.
