Crimes and Arrests During the Pandemic

The Harris County Joint Processing Center (JPC) where people are brought after an arrest will refuse to book anyone accused of a non-violent misdemeanor, except DWIs or if there is reason to believe the person is an immediate threat to society’s safety.

In situations involving a non arrestable crime, people we be cited and released with a future court date to appear in court.

The Harris County Sheriff Office will only be confirming warrants for felonies and misdemeanors involving violence against a person.
