What Happens After an Arrest in Ramapo

When Ramapo Police arrest someone, the person is processed at the department and then transported to the Rockland County Correctional Center if they need to be held. At intake, staff confirm identity, take fingerprints and mugshots, and do a medical screening. The booking record gets created at this point. An arraignment before a judge usually happens within 24 hours.

If bail is set and not posted, the person stays in county custody. If they are released on their own recognizance or bail is posted, they leave the facility but the booking record remains in the system. Fingerprints go to DCJS as part of the state criminal history repository. Those records are not public and cannot be obtained through FOIL. You would need to use the DCJS Record Review process for your own record.

The correctional center in Pomona processes inmates from all eight towns in Rockland County. With a 241-bed capacity, it is smaller than many other county jails in the state. Turnover can be relatively fast, meaning someone booked today might be out within days depending on the charges and bail.
