The Iowa Waiver of Detention Hearing is a hearing conducted by the court to assess whether an individual accused of a crime should be detained or released on bail until their trial. The hearing is conducted under the Iowa Code Chapter 810, which outlines the criteria for determining whether an individual should be detained or released. There are two types of Iowa Waiver of Detention Hearings: Preliminary Waiver Hearings and Final Waiver Hearings. Preliminary Waiver Hearings are conducted shortly after an individual is arrested, and are used to determine whether the accused individual should remain in custody or be released on bail until their trial. Final Waiver Hearings are conducted after the Preliminary Waiver Hearing to determine if the accused person should remain in custody or be released on bail until their trial. During the hearing, the court will consider the accused individual's criminal history, the nature of the alleged offense, and the accused individual's ties to the community, among other factors. The court will then make a determination whether the accused individual should be detained or released on bail pending their trial.
