Inmates arrested on any Sheriff’s misdemeanor warrant by the Sheriff’s Department or any other police agency will be accepted at court lockups. Inmates (with Sheriff’s warrants issued by a court) at the lockup accepting the inmate, will be arraigned and either cited out or transported to IRC/CRDF, depending on whether they meet the current release criterion. Inmates with warrants issued by L.A. County Courts other than those at the accepting lockup shall be cited out by lockup personnel if they meet the current release criteria. Those who do not meet the release criteria shall be transported to IRC/CRDF.
Misdemeanor warrant arrestees brought to court by any police agency will be accepted at the lockup, regardless of the offense charged. If the agency is part of the Consolidated Booking System and the inmate is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff by the court, lockup personnel shall cite the individual, unless they meet the current criteria for being transported to IRC/CRDF. Inmates received from police agencies, which are not part of the Consolidated Booking System, and who are remanded to the custody of the Sheriff by the court, regardless of the offense charged, shall be transported to IRC/CRDF for completion of the booking process and either cited out or remain in custody.
Misdemeanor release criteria do not apply to persons sentenced, by the court, to terms in County jail. Any person sentenced to the County jail, regardless of the offense, shall be transported to IRC/CRDF. For possible release exceptions refer to CSDM, 2-09/010.10 - Misdemeanor Acceptance and Release Criteria for Court Lockups.
Any person who is remanded on a charge of 40508 V.C. or 853.7 P.C. or whose court document indicates “FTA Arrest,” shall not be released on a citation, unless otherwise directed by IRC/CRDF.
