Upper Darby Booking Reports

Upper Darby booking reports are created when township police arrest someone in this large Delaware County community. Upper Darby is the largest township in Pennsylvania and sits just west of Philadelphia. Arrests lead to booking through the Delaware County system, with detention at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility. Court records for Upper Darby cases run through the Delaware County courts. Below you will find how to search for and understand these booking reports.

How Upper Darby Booking Reports Are Created

Upper Darby police handle arrests within the township. The department operates from 7236 Guilford Road. Officers process arrests at the station before transfer. Those held on charges go to the George W. Hill Correctional Facility, which serves all of Delaware County. Full booking happens at the jail. Staff record the charges, take fingerprints, and snap a photo. The booking report is filed at that time.

Upper Darby borders Philadelphia and has a dense population for a township. The police department handles a high volume of calls. Not every contact leads to an arrest, and not every arrest results in charges that stick. The booking report captures the initial arrest data. What happens after that shows up in the court docket through the Delaware County system.

Note: George W. Hill Correctional Facility is a privately operated jail that serves all of Delaware County.
