After an arrest
- Who decides release first
For eligible low-level charges, a pretrial services officer, a state court employee, releases the person on recognizance under the Supreme Court's non-financial bail schedule, with no judge. Everyone else is released only by a district judge, circuit judge, or trial commissioner, who gets the pretrial risk assessment within 24 hours of booking.
Supreme Court of Kentucky Order 2025-22- Time to see a judge
A person arrested without a warrant must be taken before a judge "without unnecessary delay." The rule sets no number of hours; when no judge is available, the jailer must bring a person who can't make bail to a judge without unnecessary delay.
