Salinas Court

The departments and services of the Monterey County Superior Court system are distributed over five buildings in Salinas, Monterey, and Marina, California.  The Salinas court is the location of the court date for many people awaiting trial.  If you are in this position, you could probably benefit for a skilled Salinas bail bonds company.

The county seat of Monterey County was originally in the city of Monterey when the state of California was segmented into 27 counties in 1850. Construction of the courthouse was completed in 1878. Later, when a decision was made to run the railroad through the valley instead of the coast, the seat of government was transferred inland to Salinas.

Courthouse Security

Full-time security personnel are stationed at all courthouse buildings. All persons entering or exiting the buildings are expected to go through security screening. In those buildings that have an x-ray machine, visitors are asked to remove all metal objects (watches, coins, keys, belt buckles, etc.), place them in a plastic bin and then proceed through the metal detector. For buildings without an x-ray machine, visitors should be prepared to have their bags searched by security personnel.
