The Booking Process

What happens from arrest to bail at the PSC

When someone is arrested anywhere in Stanislaus County, they are transported to the Public Safety Center by the arresting agency. The booking process begins immediately upon arrival. Officers fingerprint the defendant, take photographs, run a background check, and enter all charges into the system. Personal property is catalogued and stored.

Booking typically takes one to eight hours depending on facility volume. At the end of the booking process, bail is set, either automatically by the Stanislaus County bail schedule for standard charges, or by a judge at a bail hearing for more complex cases. Bail cannot be posted until booking is complete and a bail amount is confirmed.

This is why calling us immediately after learning of an arrest is the right move, even before bail is set. We use the booking window to prepare all paperwork so we are ready to move the instant bail becomes available. Every hour of lead time we have is an hour sooner your loved one walks out.
