The jail intake procedure at the Garden City Police Jail includes each of the following steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you may not be processed immediately.

Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will be taken from you and stored until you are released.

You will get to use the phone to contact a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

Discharge Procedures
