Council Approves Jail Booking Fee
The City Council approved a new fee Monday for those arrested and booked into Cypress City Jail.
The council voted to amend a resolution, creating a $124 booking fee for arrested suspects. The fee would be imposed once the person is convicted of any criminal offense related to the arrest.
It is estimated that the new fee will bring in $93,000 a year for the city. The Cypress Police Department makes about 1,500 arrests a year, with about half of those convicted, police said. The fee would offset costs to operate the jail, which include processing inmates and jail supervision. Information: (714) 229-6680.
