A bail bond is a service fee for putting up bail money to a court in order to allow you to get out of jail until your court date. The court will set a bail amount for you, if it is more than you can afford and you don’t want yourself or your loved one to remain in jail until that court date, then you need to talk to a bail bonds company who will put the money up on your behalf.
Co-signing for a bail bond means you are taking legal responsibility for the full amount of the bail bond. So if the court said the bail bond was $10,000, and the bail bondsman is asking you to pay $1,000 to them as their service fee, and the person skips out and runs from the appointed court date, the bondsman will come after you to get the money they put up to the court, which means you owe the full $10,000.

Harvey County has one jail, one district court and six towns that feed into them. If someone you know was arrested anywhere in the county, this page tells you where they are, which court they are headed to and what happens next.
We are a bail bond company based in Wichita at 700 N Market St, Ste 1, and the office is staffed 24 hours a day. We do not have an office in Harvey County. We travel up and write the bond in person, the same way we do in Sedgwick County. Call (316) 833-8506 and a licensed bondsman answers, any hour.

What the county states directly:
A detail that saves people a trip: the Harvey County Sheriff’s Office, the Harvey County Detention Center and the Newton Police Department are all in the same Law Enforcement Center at 120 E 7th St. A city arrest and a county arrest in Newton end up at the same address.
Felonies and county filed misdemeanors go to Harvey County District Court, on the second floor of the Harvey County Courthouse at 800 N Main St, Newton, KS 67114. The number is (316) 284-6800 and the mailing address is PO Box 687, Newton, KS 67114.
Harvey County is part of the Ninth Judicial District, which also covers McPherson County. Judges work across both counties, so the docket in Newton is not the same every week and a first appearance is scheduled around that calendar rather than around when your family is ready for it.
City ordinance violations and city traffic charges do not go to the county. They stay with the town that wrote them, and several of these courts sit only once or twice a month. That is the single biggest reason a Harvey County family ends up needing a bond.
Read those schedules again. Two of these courts sit once a month. If your person is in custody on a city charge and the docket has just passed, waiting is not a neutral choice. It is weeks.
The city of Sedgwick sits in both Harvey County and Sedgwick County. An arrest there can end up at the Harvey County Detention Center in Newton or at the Sedgwick County Adult Detention Facility at 141 W Elm in Wichita, depending on which county the arrest happened in and which agency made it.
If you have called one jail and been told there is no record of your person, that split is usually the explanation. We check both.
The court sets the bond amount. We charge a percentage of that as our fee and in most cases can start from a down payment rather than the whole fee up front. Terms depend on the bond amount, the charge and the county, so we quote you on the call instead of publishing one number that may not fit. The fee pays for posting the bond. It is not a deposit and it is not refunded when the case ends.
We answer at (316) 833-8506 24 hours a day, and our Wichita office at 700 N Market St, Ste 1 is open and physically staffed the whole time. Tell us the name and the town and we will tell you where things stand.
