A. WARRANT ARREST
Only sworn officers may execute arrest warrants. An officer who is notified that an
active warrant/capias exists for a subject being detained will take every step reasonable to
insure that the match is correct before affecting the arrest. This can be accomplished
through verification of supporting evidence such as height, weight, eye and hair color,
scars, marks, tattoos or other unusual features. Driver's license, Social Security numbers
or any other reasonable identifying factors may be considered.
1. Upon determining that the subject matches the warrant, the arrest will be made
and proper F.C.I.C./N.C.I.C. notification will be completed through teletype and
documented in the offense report.
2. The offense report will contain those elements on which the officer made this
verification determination.
