How bail works after a Berkley arrest

In Berkley, arrests are handled by the Berkley Department of Public Safety, a combined police-fire agency on 12 Mile Road in the city's downtown. After booking, anyone held in custody is transported to the Oakland County Jail in Pontiac, the county's central detention facility. Misdemeanor and ordinance arraignments, bond setting, and traffic matters arising in Berkley are heard at the 45-A District Court at 3338 Coolidge Highway in Berkley. At arraignment, a judge or magistrate sets bond, which in Michigan may be a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money down, a cash or 10% bond, or a surety (commercial) bond posted through a licensed bail agent. Felony cases begin in the 45-A District Court for arraignment and a probable-cause/preliminary examination; once a defendant is bound over, the case moves to the Oakland County 6th Circuit Court in Pontiac for trial-level proceedings. Bond amounts depend on the charge, criminal history, and flight risk. A licensed Michigan bail bondsman can post a surety bond at the Oakland County Jail to secure release while the case proceeds.
