Mount Pleasant 24 Hour Booking Process
When Mount Pleasant Police make an arrest, the process moves quickly. The officer secures the person and drives them to the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center in Charleston County. This is the central booking facility for the county. It operates every hour of every day.
Detention center staff handle intake. They confirm the person's identity through documents or database checks. Fingerprints are captured and sent to SLED for the state record. A photograph is taken. The officer completes a charge form that lists each offense. A bond amount is set based on the charges. All of this data goes into the 24 hour booking log.
Bond hearings follow state rules. Most people see a judge within 24 hours of being booked. The judge reviews charges and sets release conditions. The booking record is then updated with bond information. Once this process is done, the record becomes searchable through the county inmate search system.
Note: Mount Pleasant is one of several agencies that use the Al Cannon Detention Center, so the inmate search covers arrests from multiple police departments across Charleston County.
