Del Norte County Jail Booking Process

Del Norte County is small and rural. The county jail sits at 650 Fifth Street in Crescent City. When someone gets arrested by the Del Norte County Sheriff or by Crescent City Police, they are brought to this jail for processing. Booking takes place around the clock. Staff log the person's name, date of birth, charges, and physical details. A booking photo is taken. All of this becomes part of the 24 hour booking record that shows up in the public portal.

Because Del Norte County has a small population, the jail sees fewer bookings than big metro areas. Still, arrests happen daily. Most are related to DUI, drug charges, theft, and domestic issues. The jail has limited bed space. Some people get booked and released within hours on bail or a citation. Others stay in custody until their court date. The booking record stays in the system regardless of how long the person is held.

Arrests by the California Highway Patrol in Del Norte County also end up at the county jail. CHP officers patrol the highways in this remote part of the state and bring people they arrest to the same facility for booking.

This lets the public track who was arrested and why.
