Study Notes

Determining Stolen Property

Officers must use reasonable suspicion or probable cause to question individuals about property.
A computer inquiry revealing reported stolen items necessitates immediate seizure and placement in the Evidence and Property Section.
Before jailing, officers must notify a member of the appropriate district investigative unit.

District Investigative Unit

Detectives assist arresting officers during dedicated staffing hours.
At other times, officers can contact detectives or sergeants via Denver 911 or provided contact information.

Factors in Jailing Decision

Officers should assess the nature of the offense, time since report, suspect's statements, arrest circumstances, type and value of the item.
Possession of stolen property alone is insufficient for determining jail time.
Items reported stolen to the Denver Police Department within ten days prior to arrest strengthen the case for jailing.

Reporting and Contacting Outside Agencies

If property is reported stolen by another jurisdiction, officers must contact that agency for instructions.
If no response is received from the outside agency, Denver police will seize the property, complete a GO report noted as "Letter to Detectives," and document relevant details including the outside agency’s case number.
The Evidence and Property Section will notify the originating agency via NLETS and maintain records per property management procedures.

Documentation for Arrest

When jailing, charges must align with those in the original report (e.g., "Investigation Burglary, Case # 123456789").
All related arrest paperwork must be promptly forwarded to the assigned investigative section/unit; originals sent to the Records Unit for scanning.

Denver County Court Warrant Arrests

The court warrants include various types such as failure to appear or contempt of court and are recorded on CCIC with corresponding bond amounts or jail days.
Officers instructed to follow OMS 104.07(3) when notified of a subject wanted on a warrant.

Fugitive Unit Protocol

Investigating officers must promptly notify the Fugitive Unit if their warrant subject is arrested in another jurisdiction.
The Fugitive Unit will establish holds and facilitate the individual’s return to Denver.
