Boone County Jail Recent Bookings And Arrests
Arrests and Booking
Booking at the Boone County Jail
Officers bring every arrestee to the jail in the Law Enforcement Center, 1019 West Mamie Eisenhower Avenue, Boone, IA 50036, where jail staff complete the booking. How long it takes depends partly on how many people are being processed at once. The sequence reflects Iowa statutes and sheriff's office practice. Press 1 at 515-433-0524 for one arrestee's booking charges and bail figure.
- Intake. Staff accept the person from the arresting officer, confirm identity, and check for warrants from other agencies.
- Prints and mug shot. Fingerprinting is required by Iowa Code section 690.2 for felony, aggravated and serious misdemeanor arrests, and a booking photo usually comes at the same step.
- Personal property. Officers search the arrestee and record personal items, which the jail holds for return at release.
- Medical intake. Staff ask about medication, injuries and medical or mental-health needs; medication brought from home is typically checked by jail medical staff before use.
- First call. Iowa Code section 804.20 protects an arrestee's chance to reach a relative or attorney promptly, and Reliance shows booking calls among the jail's features.
- Commissary account. An account may be opened for the person on arrival, so family can add funds once booking is done.
- Magistrate. On a new charge, the arrestee appears before a magistrate within twenty-four hours, on a schedule the judge sets.
The sheriff lists four ways out: a magistrate-set bond, pretrial release approved by district correctional services, the close of the case with sentencing, or a court order. The Boone County bail page covers payment.
