ARREST, BOOKING AND RELEASE PROCEDURE

If someone you know has been arrested by the Fresno Police Department in and jailed, they will likely be transported to the Fresno County jail for booking and processing. The booking process generally includes interviews, photographs, fingerprints, and background checks of the defendant.

This process can generally take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours or more depending on the facility and defendant 's circumstance.

We realize its tough to be patient during these times, however, it’s important to know that a bond cannot be posted until the defendant is completely booked into the system.

When the defendant has been cleared, and the bond has been posted, it can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours for the release of the defendant.

We understand the special needs of people detained in Fresno County jails and can help you understand the bail bond process.

Because timing and bail bond procedures can vary in Fresno County, the bail bond paperwork should be started as soon as possible to allow for defendant release from the Fresno County jail as soon as possible.
