Lake Zurich Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Lake Zurich Police Jail takes you through these steps:

You will get put in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

First you will have to answer a number of questions, like what is your full legal name, your address, birthdate and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, any personal property you have will be taken from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will get to make a phone call in order to call a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might get to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get discharged from jail. The discharge process will take anywhere from 15 minutes to all day long. In other words the faster you can post bail, the sooner you will get discharged from jail. How quickly you get discharged depends on if you have a bond amount or if the judge must figure out how much your bail will be.

When you have completed your jail sentence and are given a release date, you should plan to be discharged in the morning.
