After you are processed at the local New York City police precinct you will be taken to central booking which generally occurs at the local criminal courthouse.  At central booking, you will be interviewed by an employee of the Criminal Justice Agency, who will inquire about your family, work history, and community ties to determine whether you are a risk of flight and will return to court after arraignment.  You should provide your current employment, family ties, and the phone number of someone who can verify your information.
