On average, it takes the police about 3 hours from the initial time of arrest to lock someone up at a CPD station.

It usually takes about 12 hrs from time of arrest to when someone is released/sent to bond court - but we found 3,100+ cases where CPD held people longer than 48 hrs, for up to 4 days.
Looking at charges alone, it's unclear why CPD subjected these people to excessive hold times.
