What to Do After an Arrest in Dare County

1

Confirm where the arrest happened

Write down the town, beach community, road, hotel, rental property, restaurant, or other location connected to the arrest.

2

Identify the arresting agency

The arrest may involve a local police department, the Dare County Sheriff’s Office, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the National Park Service, or another agency.

3

Confirm the current holding location

Once you have that information, call Amistad Bail Bonds to review the next practical step.

How the Dare County Bail Bond Process Works

A judge or magistrate determines the conditions of release. Those conditions may include a written promise to appear, an unsecured bond, a secured bond, or other requirements.

If an eligible secured bond has been set, the process generally includes:

1. Call With the Information Available

Provide the defendant’s name, date of birth, detention location, charges, and bond amount if known.

2. Review the Bond Requirements

We explain:

• Bail bond cost

• Identification requirements

• Possible cosigner responsibilities

• Payment arrangements

• Paperwork and next steps

You can ask questions before signing an agreement.
