Booking at the Emmet County Jail

Arrests by Schultes's deputies, Estherville police and other agencies working in the county are processed at the North 6th Street jail, and the listing outlines intake in these stages.

  1. Name and birth date confirmed. Estherville jailers verify the arrestee's identity first, according to the listing.
  2. Booking photo and fingerprints. Prints are recorded as Iowa Code 690.2 requires.
  3. Medical and background screening. The listing says answers about health, record and gang ties guide housing in the small Emmet County lockup.
  4. Cheek swab where the law calls for one. Depending on the offense, Iowa law may require a DNA sample during an Estherville booking, the listing says.
  5. Pat-down, then a property bag. Personal items are taken for safekeeping until release, per the listing.
  6. Phone use. The sheriff's page says prisoners may use the inmate phone whenever they are not on lockdown, and Iowa Code 804.20 protects contact with family and a lawyer.
  7. Seeing the judge. Iowa Code 804.21 bars unnecessary delay in bringing an Estherville arrestee before a magistrate.

Release money after an Emmet County booking is the subject of the Estherville bail page.
