    Study Notes

    General Guidelines for Arrests

    • Officers must adhere to the operations manual and existing procedures regarding arrests, use of force, and reporting.
    • Officers should issue warnings or citations when appropriate, rather than making arrests for minor offenses.

    Arrest and Release

    • Individuals may be arrested and subsequently released without incarceration for various reasons, including mistaken identity, recalled warrants, or a determination that probable cause no longer exists for the arrest.

    Procedures for Arrest and Release

    • Officers must fulfill at least one of the following obligations when releasing a person after arrest:
      • Serve the arrested party with an order-in citation.
      • Obtain approval from a higher-ranking officer.

    Higher-Ranking Officer Approval

    • The approving officer must be a lieutenant or higher.
    • If a lieutenant is not available, a sergeant may approve the release but must notify the lieutenant.
    • Documentation of the incident must be left for the lieutenant's review.

    Documentation

    • The arresting officer must document the incident, including the arrested party, the description of the incident, and the name of the approving command officer.
    • The "Released from Custody" reason code should be selected when completing the street check.
    • All documentation must be completed before the end of the shift.
