How bail works after a Birmingham arrest

When someone is arrested in Birmingham, Michigan, the Birmingham Police Department (151 Martin Street) typically handles the initial booking. From there, the arrestee is most often transported to the Oakland County Jail at 1200 N. Telegraph Road in Pontiac, which the Oakland County Sheriff's Office operates as the county's central intake facility. Birmingham is part of the 48th District Court in Bloomfield Hills, so misdemeanor and traffic matters are arraigned and resolved there, and that is also where felony cases begin with a probable-cause conference and preliminary examination. If a felony is bound over, the case proceeds to the Oakland County 6th Circuit Court, also at 1200 N. Telegraph in Pontiac. At arraignment, a judge or magistrate sets bond. In Michigan the common options are a personal recognizance bond (released on a promise to appear), a cash or 10% bond, or a surety bond posted through a licensed bail agent. A surety bond lets families pay a percentage to a bondsman rather than the full amount in cash, which is often the fastest way to secure release from the Oakland County Jail for a Birmingham-area arrest.
