Glendale Booking Process

When Glendale Police arrest someone, they transport the person to Maricopa County intake. The booking process involves fingerprinting, photographs, and medical screening. Staff enter the person into the jail database and assign an inmate number.

Initial appearance happens within 24 hours. A magistrate reviews the charges and sets bail conditions. Some people get out on their own recognizance without posting money. Others must pay cash bail or use a bail bond company. The amount depends on charges and criminal history.

The county jail roster updates as bookings complete. New arrests take a few hours to appear online. If you know someone was arrested but cannot find them in the system, wait and search again. Weekends and holidays may slow the process.
