Crane Police Department Holding / City Police Custody Overview
Crane Police Department is the city police agency at 115 W. 6th Street, Crane, TX 79731. The official city police page lists the department as open 24 hours a day, gives phone 432-558-2212, emergency 911, fax 432-558-3593, Chief of Police Aaron Jenkins, and Lieutenant Gabe Rodriguez. It also provides Crime Stoppers contact information, Text-to-911 information, and instructions for submitting a police complaint form by email, mail, or in person.
This location should be described as city police custody or short-term municipal holding, not a separate public jail-roster facility. Official sources did not publish a city jail capacity, jail population report, booking-photo gallery, roster search page, commissary vendor, deposit vendor, housing-unit detail, or public visitation schedule for the police department. People arrested by Crane Police may be released at the police level, taken before a magistrate, or transferred to Crane County Law Enforcement Center / Crane County Jail for booking.
The official City of Crane Police Department page is the source for the 24-hour department status, command staff, complaint routing, Crime Stoppers number, and Text-to-911 details.
The city source supports police contact and complaint information, but it does not create a separate online jail roster or a published municipal jail population source.
Crane Police Department Holding Capacity and Roster Status
No official city source located during the research sweep published a capacity number for Crane Police Department Holding / City Police Custody. No city roster, jail population workbook, jail profile page, or municipal booking-photo gallery was located. For that reason, this custody point should be treated as a short-term police processing stage rather than a separately searchable jail facility.
| Question | Officially Located Answer |
|---|---|
| Is there a Crane Police public inmate roster? | No official city police roster was located. |
| Is capacity published? | No official city holding capacity was published. |
| Is this a county jail? | No. County jail custody is handled by the sheriff-operated Law Enforcement Center. |
| What may happen after a city arrest? | The person may be cited, released, taken before a magistrate, or transferred and booked into county jail. |
How to Look Up Someone Arrested by Crane Police Department
The correct lookup path depends on whether the question is still at the police level or has become county jail custody. Crane Police can answer police-level questions from its records and communications channels. If the person has been booked into the county jail, use the Crane County Sheriff's Office phone number and VINELink. If criminal charges have been filed, use court records through re:SearchTX or the clerk process rather than a police holding search.
- Call Crane Police Department at 432-558-2212 for police-level questions about a city arrest, incident, complaint, or immediate custody routing.
- For emergencies, use 911. The city page also says Text-to-911 is available when calling is not possible.
- If the person was transferred to county jail, call the Crane County Sheriff's Office at 432-558-3571 or use VINELink for custody status.
- For a filed criminal case, search re:SearchTX or contact the appropriate clerk because court filing is separate from police holding.
- For sentenced state custody, federal prison, or immigration detention, use TDCJ, BOP, or ICE ODLS instead of the city police number.
Lookup limit: A city police arrest may not create a city roster entry. County jail booking and court filing are separate steps.

Visiting Someone in Crane Police Department Holding / City Police Custody
No official city police source located a public visitation schedule for municipal holding, video visitation, child visitor rules, dress code, commissary access, deposit access, or phone account vendor. Short-term police custody is usually focused on citation, release, magistrate processing, investigation, or transfer. Call 432-558-2212 before going to the police department for any non-emergency question, and call the sheriff if the person has already been booked into the county jail.
| Visitation Topic | Published Status | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Public visitation | No schedule published | Call Crane Police before traveling. |
| Video visitation | No provider published | Ask whether any police-level visit is available. |
| County jail transfer | Possible after city arrest | If transferred, use sheriff phone and county jail procedures. |
| Attorney contact | Police-level process not published | Attorneys should contact the department directly. |
| Emergency contact | 911 published | Use 911 for emergencies, including Text-to-911 when a call cannot be made. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Crane Police Department Holding / City Police Custody
Official city sources did not publish inmate-mail rules, commissary rules, money-deposit options, phone vendor information, or a package policy for police holding. Because this is not documented as a separate public jail-roster facility, do not send mail, money, books, photographs, or packages to a person believed to be in police custody without calling first. If the person is booked into Crane County Law Enforcement Center / Crane County Jail, use the county jail contact path for mail, phone, and deposit questions.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | No inmate-mail format published for city police holding. |
| Phone / Video | No custody phone or video vendor published. |
| Money Deposit | No city holding deposit vendor published. |
| Commissary | No city holding commissary information published. |
Police Arrest Processing and Transfer
Crane Police Department custody can be the first step after a city arrest, but the official sources do not describe it as a full jail admission system with public profiles. A person detained by city officers may be identified, checked for warrants, cited and released, held for magistrate action, or transported to the county jail for booking. Once county booking happens, the county jail record may include identity information, booking date, arresting agency, charges, warrant or cause numbers, bond information, property, photo, fingerprints, and release or transfer status, although Crane County did not publish a public roster profile in the located sources.
Police complaint and commendation routing is separate from jail custody lookup. The city page shows commendation form fields for date of interaction, name, phone, email, comment, and submission, and states that a completed complaint may be scanned and emailed to cranepd@crane.texas.gov, mailed, or delivered in person to Crane Police Department. Crime Stoppers tips may be made at 432-558-7867, and the city page says callers can remain anonymous.
Emergency, Text-to-911, and Records Routing
The city police page identifies emergency 911 and states that Text-to-911 is available for people who cannot call. It names Jill Blackshear, Communications Supervisor, at 432-558-2212 and jblackshear@crane.texas.gov for more information about Text-to-911. These communications details are useful for emergency access and police communications questions, but they should not be treated as a substitute for county jail custody confirmation after transfer.
For court records after a city arrest, the jail or police stage is only the start. Filed criminal cases are searched through re:SearchTX or clerk channels after the prosecutor or court filing exists. Lower-level municipal matters may remain connected to city or lower-court channels, while felony and district-level filings move through the district court and clerk process documented in the Crane County research.
About Crane Police Department Holding / City Police Custody
The official sources support a careful description: a 24-hour city police department with short-term custody and processing responsibilities, not a separately published jail roster. Its address, phone, emergency number, fax, command staff, Crime Stoppers number, email address, complaint procedure, and Text-to-911 information are published by the city. Its inmate capacity, roster profile fields, visit schedule, mail format, phone vendor, deposit vendor, and holding population are not published in the official city source reviewed.
The distinction matters because a search for a city arrestee can change quickly. A person can be released before any county jail booking appears, or transferred so the sheriff's custody channels become the right place to check. If the case later appears in court, court records will not necessarily show the same information as a police holding question or a county jail booking record.
Note: Confirm whether the person is still with city police or has moved to county jail before traveling or sending records requests.
