The Long Beach Police Department Jail Booking
Process
When a person is arrested at the Long
Beach PD Jail, there is a "Booking
Process". That must be
completed before a Bail Bondsman
can post a Bail Bond on behave
of the inmate. Once in custody of
the Long Beach Police Jail, the
Jailer will take inventory of the
arrestee's belongings searching for weapons, drugs,
paraphernalia or any other threats. Then the
Jailer at Long Beach Jail
runs a background check through the "Live Scan"
system on the individual to check for warrants and
probation / parole holds. This process can
take several hours depending on the workload of
the Jailers. At this point
some Jails will allow the inmate
to make a phone call prior to being assigned to
a Jail Cell; other Jails
have phones within the cells. Some inmates
will try to contact a loved one or a Bail
Bonds Company directly (we take collect
calls). Whichever way it may be, the faster
Bail Bonds Long Beach .Net is contacted
the faster we can start the Bail Bond Process.
