Booking Process in Franklin

When Franklin Police arrest someone, the person is taken to the Williamson County Jail. At the jail, staff record the person's full name, date of birth, and physical features. They take a mugshot and fingerprints. The charges from the arrest are entered. If the person qualifies for bail, the amount is set based on a schedule or a judge's order.

Tennessee law says a person arrested without a warrant must see a judge without unnecessary delay. In practice, this means within about 48 hours. Weekends can push it to 72 hours. At the initial appearance, the judge checks probable cause, reads the charges, and sets bail conditions. Tenn. Code Ann. section 40-7-103 lists when police can make an arrest without a warrant. These include situations where the officer sees a crime happen or has probable cause to believe a felony was committed.
