Concord Arrest and Booking Process
Arrests in Concord follow a set procedure. It starts with a Concord police officer or Cabarrus County deputy. The officer determines probable cause exists or has a valid warrant under N.C.G.S. § 15A-304. The person is taken into custody and transported to the detention center on Corban Avenue.
At the facility, staff begin the booking process. The person is photographed. That photo is the mugshot. Fingerprints are taken. Personal information is recorded. Every charge is entered into the system. The data goes into the public records database.
A magistrate reviews the case. The magistrate decides on bond. Some charges have preset bond amounts. Others require the magistrate to weigh factors like flight risk and public safety. The bond amount and conditions appear in the public record. People who post bond leave the facility. Those who cannot post bond stay in custody until their court date.
The entire booking record is public from the start. North Carolina does not impose a waiting period on arrest records. Once someone is booked into the Cabarrus County system after a Concord arrest, their mugshot and charges are accessible to anyone. The online portals reflect new bookings within hours.
