Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Kirkwood Police Jail is made up of these steps:

You must answer a bunch of questions, such as your full legal name, your address, birth date and a contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, they will let you wear your street clothes, if not you will be issued a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will get released from jail. The discharge process will take anywhere from 15 minutes to hours or even all day long.

When you have served your sentence and are given a discharge date, plan to be discharged between 9am and noon.
