Processing time
DUI Processing-Time Estimator
Sample data
Processing time depends heavily on county, day of week and time of arrest. In the sample data, a Friday night arrest takes 2–3× longer than a Tuesday morning. Estimates use sample figures for the pilot counties until real booking data is published, and describe a modeled range, not any individual case.
