Arrest and Booking Module

The arrest and booking module captures information associated with persons arrested.  Some of those arrestees may subsequently be put through a booking or pre-booking process. This module has the ability to capture information relating to a subject, that subject’s vehicle, property, health, and relationships. The module captures information on the charges for which the person was arrested. The module also provides a custody log, which, if applicable can be used to record welfare or status checks on persons held in detention facilities which do not have regular jail or custody officers present.

* All arrestees, even those that were not physically "Booked" should be entered into the Arrest and Booking Module, if those arrests are to be tabulated for the purposes of UCR and NIBRS reports.   In such cases the arrest date/time and release date/time will be the same value.

The arrest and booking module uses a single form with 8 pages. The pages on the form are as follows: Person, Additional, Vehicle, Date / Location, Charges, Inventory, Cust. Log and Medical.   The person page is used to display and capture basic name, address, telephone and physical description information. Each arrest record represents the arrest of a single person. The person listed is linked to the master name index file. The page provides the user with CrimeStar’s quick-fill feature to speed the data entry process.   The next page (Additional) provides space for additional information on the same subject, such as the occupation, employer, employer address, cautions and emergency contact information. This page also provides you with the ability to capture one or more photos that will be linked to the booking (See: Booking Photo).  The third page (Vehicle) provides space to capture identification information about any vehicle that the arrested subject may have been driving or occupying at the time of the arrest. If applicable this page can also capture vehicle disposition information.  The Date / Location page provides space for the date, time and location of the arrest. Also on this page are fields to indicate the physical location where the arrest took place and what officer or agency transported the arrest subject to the booking facility. The Charges page provides the ability to capture reference information such as the Booking #, Incident #, Other #, Program, Class and Role codes. It also provides the ability to reference an unlimited number of violations or offenses that the arrested person is being charged with. Each violation has several associated attributes to help identify the type of arrest and charges.

The Inventory page provides a series of fields intended to record the personal property that the arrested subject had in their possession at the time of arrest. The items listed on this page are considered part of the booking record and are for personal inventory purposes only. This information has no specific relationship the Property & Evidence Module. Personal property taken from an arrestee and held for safekeeping is usually stored in some form of temporary property locker. This page provides the ability to track the locker # where the property is held. Likewise, CrimeStar can print a receipt for the arrestee’s personal property.  The Custody Log page provides the ability to record an unlimited number of observation or Custody Log entries intended to document physical observations and custody movements within the jail or booking facility.
