City Police Departments are responsible for the transportation (except LAPD) to court. Lockup personnel, as a courtesy, may accept inmates at a court lockup. The responsibility for the pre-arraigned inmate, however, remains with the police department concerned.
In the event that there is a problem with a city inmate, such as a medical, mental illness, or special security problem, the arresting agency shall provide an officer to supervise the agency’s inmates. Lockup personnel shall immediately notify the Branch Supervisor, in the event of any disagreement with the arresting agency.
Should the number of inmates from such agencies exceed the Department’s ability to provide adequate security, sworn lockup personnel may require such agencies to provide a jailer.
If the city police department has booked the inmate through a Sheriff’s Station or custody facility, they shall be considered the Sheriff’s responsibility.
