Kansas City Jail - Clay

Arrests/Detention When a person is arrested by a KCPD officer, the “arrestee” will be processed at a Patrol Division Detention Unit. An arrestee will be held at a Patrol Division Detention Unit to provide the opportunity to post bond. If bond is not posted, they will be transferred to a city-approved Detention Facility. Please contact a Patrol Division Detention Unit regarding arrestee information. Typically, the arrestee is transported to the detention unit closest to the location of arrest. All inquiries regarding a KCPD arrest should be made at a KCPD Patrol facility. (Do not contact the Jackson County Detention Center regarding a KCPD arrest.)
