Who polices Bloomfield
Bloomfield has its own police department, and arrests in town are made by Bloomfield officers. The department books you, sets the initial bond, or releases you on a written promise to appear, and it is where the paperwork comes from.
For a family trying to find someone after an arrest, that is the number to call, and it is the fastest source for whether the person is still being held and what the bond is.
Where your case goes
Bloomfield arrests are prosecuted at Hartford Superior Court, GA 14, just south into the city. GA 14 runs the largest criminal docket in the region, so leave more time than the drive suggests and read the court page on parking first.
Released, you appear on the date on your paperwork. Held, you go to court the next business day.
After the arrest
Bloomfield officers release you on a promise to appear, set a bond, or hold you for court the next business day. If you were released the date is on your paperwork; if you were held the judge reviews the bond at that first appearance. See the arrest page for booking and the bond and bail page for the bond.
Do not describe the incident to anyone, and do not treat a phone call from holding as private. It is recorded and routinely used.
A family violence arrest goes to court the next business day and produces a protective order at that appearance, which lasts the life of the case. The arraignment page explains the date; the what to expect page explains everything after.
Common charges in Bloomfield
The Bloomfield docket at GA 14 runs to DUI, assault, domestic violence and family violence, drug possession, and larceny and shoplifting. For a first offense the realistic aim is usually a diversionary program, which ends the case in a dismissal rather than a conviction and leaves a record that can later be erased.
