What happens to someone who is arrested by UHDPS?
UHDPS maintains a holding facility, but not a jail, so an arrestee will only be at out facility for the length of time it takes an officer to do initial investigation and processing. When a person is arrested and charged with a crime, they are generally transported to the Harris County Jail. If a person is arrested on warrants from another agency, they will generally be handed over to those agencies. As you may have noticed, those sentences were sprinkled with the word “generally”, as not all arrests are the same. If you have a friend or family member who you know has been arrested by a UHDPS officer, give us a call at 713-743-3333, and we will try to provide you with information as to where they are or where they are headed.
