After arrestee is accepted at Central Booking, who initiates the memorandum?

• A. Booking / Releasing Supervisor
• B. Arresting deputy
• C. District/Division Commander
• D. Central Booking Clerk

Answer: (A)

When an arrestee arrives and is accepted at Central Booking, the person who starts the official booking record is the Booking / Releasing Supervisor. This role has the authority to initiate and review the booking documentation, ensuring all details—such as the arrestee’s identity, charges, time, and booking location—are accurate before the record progresses. The central booking clerk then handles the data-entry and clerical tasks once the memorandum is created. The arresting deputy provides the initial information but does not initiate the formal memorandum, and the District/Division Commander oversees higher-level operations rather than day-to-day booking paperwork.
