There’s never a convenient time for an arrest and the details can seem overwhelming. Especially if you’ve never dealt with an arrest before it can seem like there is a lot to learn. That’s why in today’s post we’re going to take a closer look at what happens after an arrest. To shed some light on what to expect if you or a loved one has been arrested in Kansas.
When an arrest has been made the police officer conducting the arrest will transport the defendant to the local jail or courthouse. Once there, the defendant will begin what is called the booking process. Most Americans are familiar with the booking process thanks to popular crime shows and movies. However due to the vague nature that Hollywood portrays this process very few actually know what it entails. Overall it is very simple.
During the booking process the defendant will provide the person conducting the process with their basic information. This includes their name, birth date, physical description, and current address if available.
Probably the most familiar part of the booking process – fingerprints and mugshots are taken of the defendant. The fingerprints are run through a national and in some cases international database to see if they match any existing cases. The mugshots are also check to see if they match the description of any existing cases.
When someone has been arrested their personal belongs such as purses, wallets, cell phones, etc are confiscated. These belongings are locked away in a secure place either at the jail or courthouse. After the defendant is released their personal belongings are returned to them.
