Anderson 24 Hour Booking Process
The Anderson Police Department patrols the city. Officers respond to calls and make arrests as needed. After an arrest, the person goes to the Anderson County Detention Center. Jail staff handle intake around the clock. They take a photo, record the charges, and enter all details into the system. This creates the booking record.
Bond hearings follow soon after. A magistrate sets bail based on the charges and the person's history. Some charges carry a preset bond amount. For serious offenses, a judge must hold a hearing before bond is set. The bond amount is added to the booking record for Anderson arrests.
