23.3.408    POSTING BOND MONIES WITH COURT

(1) Any monies collected as bail bond should be remitted to the justice of the peace within 5 days from the date such money was collected or accepted. All officers are subject to individual "on the spot" audit of their records and collection of monies. Any audit revealing any mishandling or misappropriation of monies or disobedience or non-compliance to this rule will subject the officer to dismissal or severe disciplinary action.

(2) Bond monies may not be accepted from any violators who have been released. Once released, the violator is within the jurisdiction of the court system. Violators who wish to post bond after release must be instructed to post bond with the nearest court, which court will then transmit the bond monies to the court of the appropriate jurisdiction.
