Cleveland County Detention Center

On a state charge, a District Court judge sets the bond. This county is part of the 21st Judicial District, along with Garvin and McClain counties. The Court Clerk keeps the criminal case files at 200 S. Peters Ave., Norman, OK 73069, 405-321-6402.

The state Constitution gives most arrested people a right to bail (Okla. Const. art. II § 8). Some cases need a judge before any amount is set. A repeat DUI is one: since November 1, 2025, a person jailed for DUI a second time or more stays put until a judge grants bail and writes out why (HB 1222).

Jail staff at 405-701-7700 can give the time of the first court appearance once booking wraps up.

Every bond is a deal: the person goes home and promises to show up for each court date. Oklahoma offers these choices:

• Cash. A relative or friend may hand over the whole amount to an official who can accept bail money (59 O.S. § 1323). Release follows.
• Surety. You pay a fee, and a state-licensed bondsman guarantees the full amount (59 O.S. § 1303).
• Property. Real estate stands in for cash. The person filing pays any filing fees (59 O.S. § 1331).
• Own recognizance (O.R.). No money is paid today, only a signed promise. State law sets rules for these and for collecting on one that is broken (22 O.S. § 1108.1).
• Release with conditions. Under the Pretrial Release Act, a court can use a bail schedule, add electronic monitoring, or place someone in a pretrial program (22 O.S. § 1105.2, § 1105.3).

The defense lawyer can tell you if a monitor or program makes sense for this case.

The figure depends on the charge, past record and the judge. Call 405-701-7700 and spell out the legal name and birthday to learn the real number. Here is how different kinds of cases are treated:

• Ordinary misdemeanors and lower felonies: an amount from the court's schedule or from the judge.
• A repeat DUI arrest: no release until a judge sets bail and gives written reasons (HB 1222).
• A felony DUI after two earlier ones: bail can be refused outright (SB 981, in force since November 1, 2025).
• Charges of violence, crimes punishable by life, repeat felonies and major drug cases: a judge can refuse bail after a hearing (Okla. Const. art. II § 8).
• Moore city cases: amounts come from the Moore Municipal Court bond schedule.
• Oklahoma City city cases: someone held only on a city warrant or a new city charge is let out at any hour on a Conditional O.R. Bond. No cash or bondsman is needed.
• A hold placed by another Oklahoma county or town: since late 2025, relatives can pay that agency's bond to lift its hold (HB 1991).

The Detention Center is at 2550 W. Franklin Road, Norman, OK 73069. Work through this list:

1. Phone 405-701-7700 and spell the person's legal name.
2. Write down the bond amount, the case number and any holds staff mention.
3. Ask where the bond is taken at that hour, what forms of payment staff accept, and how a money order must be filled out.
4. Decide whether you will pay the full bond or work with a licensed bondsman.
5. Carry a government photo ID. Get a receipt for any money you hand over and keep it safe.
6. Plan to wait. The Sheriff's Office says people usually walk out 1 to 3 hours after release papers arrive at the jail.

Front reception at the Detention Center answers at 405-701-7701.

For city tickets and warrants, the city court is often the place to pay. Each office runs its own way:

• Oklahoma City Municipal Court, Customer Service Window, 701 Couch Drive, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-297-2781. Weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This window is the only spot that posts bonds on Oklahoma City cases.
• Moore Municipal Court, 101 E. Main Street, Moore, OK 73160, 405-793-5040. Weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The court takes bond questions at this number.
• Noble Municipal Court, inside Noble City Hall, 304 S. Main St., Noble, OK 73068, 405-872-9251. Ask for the court clerk, in from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays.
• Norman Municipal Court, 321 N. Webster Avenue, Norman, OK 73069, 405-366-5325. Weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ask staff how bonds work on a city charge.
• Court Clerk for state cases, 200 S. Peters Ave., Norman, OK 73069, 405-321-6402. Ask if the clerk's window accepts a cash bond on a District Court case.

Phone first, every time. Confirm the amount and payment types, and ask if release follows as soon as the payment clears.

On a county case, check with the jail at 405-701-7700 before you leave home. City courts set their own rules:

• Noble: three things clear a warrant there: cash, money orders and cashier's checks. Cards and personal checks get turned down.
• Oklahoma City: the Oklahoma City Municipal Court bond information page says a case may also be paid online. A person freed that way is released the next business day.
• Moore: the clerk's window at the Public Safety Center, 117 E. Main Street, Moore, OK 73160, takes cash, checks, money orders and cards for fines. Fines can also go through the city's Moore online court payment page.
• Norman: city fines can be paid on the Norman municipal court payments page, or after hours by phone at 855-947-2789.

Those two city pages were built for fines and tickets. Ask the court before you try one for a bond. Mailing cash is never safe.

The Oklahoma Insurance Department issues every bondsman's license and can punish those who break the rules. Working as one with no license is against the law (59 O.S. § 1303). Rules that protect families:

• Before backing a bond, a bondsman has to register with that court's clerk (59 O.S. § 1320).
• The fee, or premium, goes on the bond itself, and you get an individually numbered receipt (59 O.S. § 1316).
• That fee counts as earned once the person is released and not locked up anywhere. If the release never happens, premium and collateral must come back to you without delay (59 O.S. § 1327).
• No jailer or police officer may sell bonds (59 O.S. § 1315).
• A bondsman who chases business inside the jail or at the courthouse risks losing that license (59 O.S. § 1310).

Confirm the license on the Bail Bondsmen Licensee Lookup. Report trouble through the Insurance Department complaint form or the bail bond division at 405-521-6610, 400 NE 50th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73105. On Moore city cases, the Moore Municipal Court keeps a list of bondsmen it accepts.

A bond releases a person from one case only. Other things can still hold them:

• Another Oklahoma agency's hold. A different county or city may want the person too. Its bond can be posted there to lift that hold (HB 1991).
• Two courts at once. A Norman city warrant and a District Court charge each carry a separate bond.
• A second or later DUI. The person stays until a judge grants bail.
• Federal or ICE holds. State money does nothing to lift them.
• Release paperwork. Plan on 1 to 3 hours after the papers reach the jail.

Call 405-701-7700 before paying and ask staff to list every hold and warrant attached to the booking.

The state Constitution names the only charges where bail may be withheld (Okla. Const. art. II § 8):

• a capital crime, where proof of guilt is evident
• a violent offense
• any charge punishable by life, with or without parole
• a new felony charge after two or more earlier felony convictions arising from separate events
• a controlled drug crime that can bring ten or more years

In the last four groups, two findings are required. The proof must be strong, and no set of release conditions can protect the community or any person. Lawmakers added third and later felony DUI in 2025 (SB 981). Crime victims may speak at release hearings (Okla. Const. art. II § 34).

Arguments for holding someone come from the District 21 District Attorney's office, 201 S. Jones, Suite 300, Norman, OK 73069, 405-321-8268.

Yes, a lawyer can ask. Excessive bail is forbidden in Oklahoma (Okla. Const. art. II § 9), so the defense can ask the assigned judge to cut the amount or swap money for conditions.

1. Line up a lawyer. A 2025 decision by the Court of Criminal Appeals gives anyone facing possible jail, even on a misdemeanor, a right to counsel.
2. Gather paycheck stubs, rent or mortgage papers and family letters showing deep roots here.
3. Tell the lawyer the real sum the household could raise.
4. Offer something that eases the judge's concern, like check-ins or electronic monitoring.
5. Expect pushback from the prosecutor. The victim also gets a say.

Hearing dates for these requests come through the Court Clerk at 405-321-6402.

Only a district judge can decide that a person is unable to pay for a lawyer. The judge reviews a sworn form about income, debts and property. Bail is part of the picture, though never the only reason for a yes or no. A person who qualifies is assigned a lawyer from the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System (OIDS).

• The form: it is picked up and turned in at the Court Clerk's office, 200 S. Peters Ave., Norman, OK 73069, 405-321-6402. From jail, the person asks a staff member for it. The county also has a step-by-step sheet, How to apply for a court-appointed attorney.
• The cost: a $40 application fee, paid into the Court Fund rather than to OIDS. Ask, and payment can wait until the case closes.
• The office: OIDS Norman Non-Capital Trial office, 111 N. Peters Ave, Suite 500, Norman, OK 73069, 405-801-2655, which covers this county plus Garvin and McClain.

OIDS will not pick a lawyer over the phone. That choice belongs to the judge. More is on the OIDS website.

Felonies and misdemeanors go to the District Court. City ordinance tickets go to the town's own court. Addresses:

• District Court and Court Clerk, 200 S. Peters Ave., Norman, OK 73069, 405-321-6402. Felony, misdemeanor and traffic cases are filed here, and six judges keep offices in the building.
• County Office Building, 201 S. Jones Ave., Norman, OK 73069. Four more judges work from here. Ask the Court Clerk which building and courtroom to go to.
• Norman Municipal Court, 321 N. Webster Avenue, Norman, OK 73069, 405-366-5325.
• Moore Municipal Court, 101 E. Main Street, Moore, OK 73160, 405-793-5040.
• Noble Municipal Court, 304 S. Main St., Noble, OK 73068, 405-872-9251. It sits on the first Tuesday of the month.
• Oklahoma City Municipal Court, which covers the slice of that city inside this county, 701 Couch Drive, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-297-2781.
• Federal court for western Oklahoma, 200 NW 4th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-609-5000.

Got a ticket from Lexington, Slaughterville or Etowah? Phone Lexington City Hall at 405-527-6123 or check with the Court Clerk about where it was filed.

When the case closes, or the person is surrendered to the court, cash bail is refunded (59 O.S. § 1328). Hold on to the receipt. The Court Clerk at 405-321-6402 can explain how the check is issued.

Missing a court date puts the bond at risk. Under 59 O.S. § 1332, here is the timeline:

• Within ten days, the judge issues a warrant for the person's arrest.
• Within 15 days, the order and judgment of forfeiture are filed. The clerk then has 30 days to mail notice.
• From that notice, the bondsman has a 90-day window to bring the person in. A timely return cancels the forfeiture and frees the bond.
• With no return, the bondsman or the insurer pays the bond's face value to the clerk.

A premium stays with the bondsman once it is earned. City courts move faster: the municipal judge declares a bond forfeited on the day of the missed hearing and takes court costs from it (11 O.S. § 27-118).

Oklahoma jail standards require staff to confirm a person's identity before letting them go. Their things are checked against the list made at intake, then signed for (OAC 310:670-5-1).

For a refund of leftover account funds, or to collect items for someone still inside, ring the jail at 405-701-7700. Check whether a signed pickup note from the person is required, and bring a photo ID to 2550 W. Franklin Road, Norman, OK 73069.

A vehicle that was towed is handled by the towing company, not the Sheriff's Office. See the inmate money page on our site for deposit and balance basics.

Federal prosecutors take cases from here to the Western District of Oklahoma, the trial court covering the western part of the state. The clerk's office is at 200 NW 4th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-609-5000, open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays.

• At the first appearance, a federal judge usually holds a detention hearing and rules on release (18 U.S.C. 3142).
• Before trial, the Marshals keep the person. Their district office is at 200 Northwest 4th Street, Room 2022, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-231-4206. Ask that office where the person is being held.
• The Federal Transfer Center, 7410 S. MacArthur Boulevard, Oklahoma City, OK 73169, 405-682-4075, holds many people for short stretches during moves.
• If hiring a federal lawyer is out of reach, call the Federal Public Defender, 215 Dean A. McGee Avenue, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-609-5930.
• After sentencing, track them on the BOP inmate locator.

Money paid toward a state bond has no effect on a federal hold.

No. An immigration detainer stays put even after the state bond is paid. Expect these steps:

1. The Detention Center receives a federal request called Form I-247A.
2. That paper lets staff keep the person past release. The limit comes from 8 CFR 287.7(d): up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released.
3. Agents then come to Franklin Road to collect the person.
4. Oklahoma cases run through ICE's Dallas Field Office, 8101 N. Stemmons Frwy, Dallas, TX 75247, 972-367-2200. ICE keeps an Oklahoma City office at 1220 Sovereign Row, Oklahoma City, OK 73108, 405-219-3199.
5. ICE often sends detainees to the Cimarron Correctional Facility, 3200 S. Kings Hwy., Cushing, OK 74023, 918-225-3336. Others spend time at the Federal Transfer Center on MacArthur Boulevard in Oklahoma City.
6. To track them, use the ICE detainee search and type in their A-number if you have it, or else their name and home country.

State law HB 4156 created a crime of staying in Oklahoma without legal permission to be in the country (21 O.S. § 1795). A federal judge put it on hold on May 20, 2025. A lawyer can tell you where it stands now.

A prison sentence rarely means an instant move. The Department of Corrections (DOC) says the move to state prison normally comes 6 to 9 months after the sentence. Men then enter the Lexington Assessment and Reception Center, which is inside this county at 15151 State Highway 39, Lexington, OK 73051, 405-527-5676. Staff there rate each person's custody level and choose a prison.

• Search by name on the DOC Offender Lookup.
• Browse prisons on our Oklahoma state prisons guide.
• DOC's main line is 405-425-2500.

A teen is placed in juvenile detention instead of the adult jail. The state Office of Juvenile Affairs (OJA) handles youth cases for this county from 1650 W. Tecumseh Rd., Suite 300, Norman, OK 73069, 405-360-4310, weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• Local youths are detained at the Alan J. Couch Juvenile Detention Center, the regional center. OJA can tell you how to reach it.
• An adult jail can keep a youth for six hours at most, kept fully apart from grown inmates with no steady sight or sound contact (OAC 310:670-5-5).
• Staff screen every detained youth within 48 hours, before a judge first reviews the hold.
• Youths 15, 16 or 17 accused of serious crimes may fall under the Youthful Offender Act. Some cases are moved to adult court through certification.

The District Court hears both. Every felony, misdemeanor and state traffic case in the county is filed with its Court Clerk, including tickets written by troopers, deputies and park rangers. The difference is the possible punishment:

• Misdemeanor: a lesser crime. Any sentence behind bars is spent in the county lockup.
• Felony: a crime serious enough for state prison. Felonies committed from January 1, 2026 on are grouped into lettered classes, and the most violent ones sit in classes Y, A and B (HB 1792, later adjusted by HB 2104 and HB 2105).
• City ordinance cases: heard by the municipal court of the town where the ticket was written.

State Question 780, in effect since July 1, 2017, turned simple drug possession into a misdemeanor. Property crimes now need a value over $1,000 to count as a felony. If the person is a tribal citizen and the alleged crime happened in Indian country, a tribal or federal court may take the case instead (McGirt v. Oklahoma), so ask the lawyer.

State cases use two buildings in Norman, a few blocks apart:

• Courthouse and Court Clerk, 200 S. Peters Ave., Norman, OK 73069, 405-321-6402. Six judges have offices here. Filings, case files, protective orders and court-appointed lawyer forms are handled at the clerk's counter during business hours.
• County Office Building, 201 S. Jones Ave., Norman, OK 73069. Four more judges work from this building, and the District Attorney's office is in Suite 300. Call the clerk to learn which judge and courtroom have the case.
• Federal court for federal crimes, 200 NW 4th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-609-5000.

The county also offers text message reminders for court dates. Signing up is a simple way to avoid a missed hearing and a new warrant.

Yes. These municipal courts hear city ordinance cases, such as traffic and minor offenses inside town limits:

• Norman Municipal Court, 321 N. Webster Avenue, Norman, OK 73069, 405-366-5325. Open weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fines can be paid on the city court payment page.
• Moore Municipal Court, inside the Public Safety Center at Main Street and Broadway, 101 E. Main Street, Moore, OK 73160, 405-793-5040. Open weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The top penalty it can give is $800.
• Noble Municipal Court, Noble City Hall, 304 S. Main St., Noble, OK 73068, 405-872-9251. The clerk is in weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and court is held the first Tuesday of each month.
• Oklahoma City Municipal Court, for the part of that city inside this county, 701 Couch Drive, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-297-2781.

For a ticket from Lexington, Slaughterville or Etowah, call Lexington City Hall, 111 E. Broadway St., Lexington, OK 73051, 405-527-6123, or the Court Clerk. Since a 2026 change, a city fine above what state law allows is void, and the court lowers it to the allowed amount (SB 1775).

This early hearing gets the case started. In plain terms, the person can expect to:

• hear what crime they are accused of
• find out how to request a free lawyer when money is short
• have bail set, kept or changed
• get the date of the next hearing

Under the state Constitution, the accused gets a quick and open trial, a jury drawn from the county where the crime took place, and a chance to be heard through counsel (Okla. Const. art. II § 20). That right reaches any misdemeanor that could mean jail, as the state's top criminal court held in 2025 (Spybuck v. State, 2025 OK CR 7).

Inside the jail, staff hand out the lawyer application on request. The jail at 405-701-7700 can say when the first court date is.

The District Attorney files misdemeanor charges with the Court Clerk, and a District Court judge handles the case. Typical steps:

1. The person appears, hears the charge and enters a plea.
2. Bail is set, or the person is released on conditions.
3. The lawyer and prosecutor trade evidence and may talk about a plea deal.
4. The charge is dropped, settled by plea, or tried.
5. Jail time on a misdemeanor is spent in the county lockup, not prison.

Two common charges carry special rules. Since State Question 780, a simple drug possession charge is a misdemeanor rather than a felony (63 O.S. § 2-402). A first DUI can be a misdemeanor, but a repeat DUI arrest means the person waits for a judge to fix bail and give reasons on paper (HB 1222). Ask the lawyer for the exact penalty range on the charge filed.

Most felonies follow roughly this order:

1. Arrest and booking at the Detention Center on Franklin Road.
2. Bail or a no-bail hearing before a District Court judge.
3. Charges filed by the District Attorney with the Court Clerk.
4. A lawyer hired or appointed through OIDS.
5. Hearings where the evidence is tested and plea talks happen.
6. Trial before a jury from this county, unless the case ends sooner.
7. Sentencing once guilt is admitted or proven.

When the crime took place in 2026 or later, the written judgment has to state which class applies and how long the person must serve at minimum. If a judgment leaves out the class, the Department of Corrections uses the lowest one (HB 2105). The class system does not reach back to older crimes.

They do. The rules get stricter at almost every step:

• No-bail holds. A judge can refuse release on a violent charge if the evidence is strong and no conditions would keep people safe (Okla. Const. art. II § 8).
• Top classes. The worst violent crimes now carry the top letters: Y, A or B.
• Abuse in front of a child. A 2026 law makes domestic abuse committed while a child is present a Class B5 felony (SB 1238).
• No bail on appeal. Since November 1, 2025, anyone found guilty of abusing a partner or a child stays locked up while appealing (HB 1066).
• Protective orders. When the person named in an order is sitting in the county jail, deputies must try to serve it within one day of issue (SB 623).

State charges filed here are handled by the District 21 District Attorney. The district also covers Garvin and McClain counties. The local office is at 201 S. Jones, Suite 300, Norman, OK 73069, 405-321-8268.

When the accused is broke, the judge may appoint counsel through the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System, or OIDS. Its Norman Non-Capital Trial office is at 111 N. Peters Ave, Suite 500, Norman, OK 73069, 405-801-2655.

• A judge, not OIDS, decides who qualifies. The form goes to the Court Clerk at 405-321-6402.
• There is a $40 fee for the form. The money is paid into the Court Fund, and the applicant may ask to put it off to the case's end.
• The county's step-by-step sheet for a court lawyer walks through the form.

For case records, the Court Clerk sends people to the Oklahoma State Courts Network (OSCN). The Sheriff's Office also links Oklahoma District Court Records (ODCR). On either site, choose this county and look up the person or the case number.

• A case record lists what has been filed and the dates coming up.
• For help, phone the Court Clerk at 405-321-6402 with the full name and birth date.
• Get dates by text through the county's court date reminder service.

For a city ticket, call that town's court instead, such as Moore at 405-793-5040.

County warrants are served by Sheriff's deputies, 405-701-8888. Search its Warrant Check, or check OSCN case records. State and federal lists: the Oklahoma Attorney General's most wanted, the DOC escape alerts and the Marshals' top fugitives. To clear it, call a lawyer first and plan a turn-in to the issuing court. Deputies take surrender calls at 405-701-8916. Or phone the Court Clerk to ask about posting a bond or getting a fresh court date: 200 S. Peters Ave., Norman, OK 73069, 405-321-6402.

A federal arrest here puts the case in the Western District of Oklahoma. Court is held at 200 NW 4th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-609-5000, and the clerk works weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

• Prosecutor: U.S. Attorney's Office, 210 Park Avenue, Suite 400, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-553-8700.
• Release: the judge weighs release or detention at a hearing set under 18 U.S.C. 3142. U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services, 215 Dean A. McGee Avenue, Room 201, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-609-5800, prepares reports for the court.
• Custody: the U.S. Marshals, 200 Northwest 4th Street, Room 2022, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-231-4206, keep federal prisoners before trial. Some stay at the Federal Transfer Center, 7410 S. MacArthur Boulevard, Oklahoma City, OK 73169.
• After sentencing: the BOP inmate locator names the prison they were sent to.

The District Court case goes on as before. The detainer only bites on the day the person is due to leave jail.

1. Form I-247A arrives from ICE, asking the Detention Center to keep the person.
2. Staff may then hold your loved one past release. A federal rule caps that hold (8 CFR 287.7(d)): up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released.
3. During that window, ICE comes for the person.
4. Oklahoma is covered by ICE's Dallas Field Office, 8101 N. Stemmons Frwy, Dallas, TX 75247, 972-367-2200. The Oklahoma City ICE office is at 1220 Sovereign Row, Oklahoma City, OK 73108, 405-219-3199, open Tuesday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
5. ICE detainees from this area are often placed at the Cimarron Correctional Facility, 3200 S. Kings Hwy., Cushing, OK 74023, 918-225-3336.
6. Check the ICE detainee search for the person's location.

A state law (22 O.S. § 171.2) also covers how jails verify whether an inmate is a citizen. The state's HB 4156 crime of unlawful presence (21 O.S. § 1795) has been frozen by a federal judge since May 2025. Defense lawyers should weigh immigration effects before any plea.

A state prison sentence goes to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (DOC). Expect a long stay in the county jail first, normally 6 to 9 months past sentencing. Then DOC moves them to an assessment and reception center, which scores the person's custody level and assigns a prison.

• For men, intake is at the Lexington Assessment and Reception Center, 15151 State Highway 39, Lexington, OK 73051, 405-527-5676, right here in the county.
• The Joseph Harp Correctional Center, a medium-security prison, is also in Lexington, at 16161 Moffat Rd., Lexington, OK 73051, 405-527-5593.
• The DOC Offender Lookup finds a prisoner by name. Each prison is covered in our Oklahoma state prisons guide.
• Once the person is in DOC custody, their case manager answers questions about them.

Youths are held apart from adults, and their cases follow juvenile rules. Four Oklahoma counties run their own juvenile bureaus. This county is one of the other 73, which rely on the Office of Juvenile Affairs (OJA).

• Local OJA office: 1650 W. Tecumseh Rd., Suite 300, Norman, OK 73069, 405-360-4310, weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Detention: the Alan J. Couch Juvenile Detention Center serves the county. Ask OJA how to reach it.
• Youthful offenders: the Youthful Offender Act lets prosecutors treat a teen aged 15 to 17 who is accused of a serious crime as a youthful offender. For acts after November 1, 2018, the court keeps its hold on the case until age 19.
• Adult court: certification moves a youth case to adult court, and reverse certification sends one back.

Marsy's Law, the Victims Bill of Rights in the state Constitution, protects victims here (Okla. Const. art. II § 34). Among other things, victims have a right to:

• treatment that is fair and respects their safety, dignity and privacy
• speak at hearings on release, a plea, the sentence or parole
• restitution paid in full and on time
• a case that wraps up without needless delay

Notices about the case come only after the victim writes to the District Attorney's office and asks.
