The county runs an online inmate lookup tool. It shows the name, booking date, charges, bond, and release date for each person held. This is the fastest way to check if someone from Old Bridge is in custody right now. The tool pulls from the same data that goes into the booking release record.
Once a judge reviews the case, the person may be released on conditions or held until trial. The New Jersey Criminal Justice Reform Act changed how this works. Cash bail is now rare. A risk score guides the judge. Most people leave the jail within hours or days of their Old Bridge arrest.
Old Bridge Police Arrest Records
The Old Bridge Police Department handles the arrest before the person goes to the county jail. Officers write an arrest report that notes the time, place, and reason for the stop. This report ties into the booking release at the county level. The police department keeps its own copy of the arrest report on file.
You can ask for a copy of an Old Bridge police arrest report through an OPRA request. The Open Public Records Act under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 gives the public a right to government records. The township clerk handles these requests. Be specific in what you ask for. Name the person and give a date range. The agency has seven business days to respond.
Arrest reports and booking releases are not the same thing. The arrest report is from the police. The booking release is from the jail. Both are public. You may need to contact two offices to get each one.

What Old Bridge Booking Releases Show

- Full name and known aliases
- Date of birth and physical traits
- Booking date, time, and arresting agency
- Charges at the time of booking
- Bond amount or conditions of release
- Release date and type of release
