The Ventura County Sheriff's Station Jail Booking Process

When a person is arrested at the Ventura County Sheriff's Jail, there is a "Booking Process".   That must be completed before a Bail Bondsman can post a Bail Bond on behave of the inmate.  Once in custody of the Ventura County Jail, the Jailer will take inventory of the arrestee's belongings searching for weapons, drugs, paraphernalia or any other threats.  Then the Jailer runs a background check through the "Live Scan" system on the individual to check for warrants and probation / parole holds.  This process can take several hours depending on the workload of the Jailers.  At this point some Jails will allow the inmate to make a phone call prior to being assigned to a Jail Cell; other Jails have phones within the cells.  Some inmates will try to contact a loved one or a Bail Bonds Company directly (we take collect calls).  Whichever way it may be, the faster Ventura County Bail Bonds .Net is contacted the faster we can start the Bail Bond Process.
