After an arrest

Who decides release first

A judicial officer sets release at the initial appearance. In Maricopa County, superior court commissioners, who are appointed lawyers, run the initial appearance court; elsewhere justices of the peace and municipal judges often do it. Arizona has no general jail bail schedule, though police may cite and release people for many misdemeanors.

Time to see a judge

A person arrested must be taken before a magistrate within 24 hours, or released. If no complaint is filed within 48 hours of the initial appearance, the person must be released.
