  • Municipal Police Department Holds: Individuals arrested by local city police departments may be held temporarily at municipal holding cells before transfer to the primary county jail.
  • Facility Transfer or Pretrial Release: Detainees who have posted bond, received pretrial release, or been transferred to state prison (DOC) facilities are automatically removed from active county detention rosters.
