OFF DUTY LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION XV. GLOSSARY PURPOSE: To establish procedures for effecting arrests. SCOPE: This order applies to all law enforcement deputies. DISCUSSION: Arrests may be made with or without a warrant depending on the circumstances and the nature of the crime in accordance with F.S. 901. 1  G.O. 74.3 Although this order provides general guidelines and procedures for effecting arrests, every deputy with arrest powers will be issued a criminal law handbook for ready reference. POLICY: Arrests will be made in conformance to law and this order to ensure officer safety and to protect arrestee rights. PROCEDURE: I. ARREST WITHOUT A WARRANT: A. A law enforcement officer may arrest a person without a warrant when: (Refer to F.S. 901.15 for a complete list) 1. The person has committed a felony, misdemeanor, or violated a county or municipal ordi- nance in the presence of the deputy. (An arrest for the commission of a misdemeanor, or viola- tion of a county or municipal ordinance must be made immediately or in fresh pursuit.) 2. A felony has been committed and the deputy reasonably believes that the person committed it. 3. The deputy reasonably believes a felony has been committed or is being committed and that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing it. 4. A warrant for arrest has been issued and is held by another peace officer. 5. A misdemeanor violation of F.S. 316 (Uniform Traffic Control) has been committed in the presence of the officer. Such arrest may take place immediately or in fresh pursuit. 6. The deputy has probable cause to believe the person to be arrested has committed: a. A criminal act according to F.S. 741.31 (Violation of an Injunction for Protection against Domestic Violence); b. A criminal act according to F.S. 784.047 (Violation of an Injunction against Repeat Violence); c. A criminal act according to F.S. 784.048 (Stalking); or d. A criminal act in violation of a foreign protection order accorded the full faith and credit pursuant to F.S. 741.315, over the objection of the petitioner, if necessary. 7. There is probable cause to believe that the person has committed an act that violates a con- dition of pre-trial release provided in F.S. 903.047, when the original arrest was for an act of do- mestic violence as defined in F.S. 741.28, and enforced through 741.29 (6). 8. There is probable cause to believe that the person has committed: 2  G.O. 74.3 a. An act of domestic violence, as defined in F.S. 741.28; (A deputy, who acts in good faith and exercises due care in making an arrest under this section, is immune from civil liability that otherwise might result by reason of his or her action.) b. Any battery upon another person, as defined in F.S. 784.03. B. When effecting a warrantless arrest, the deputy must inform the person to be arrested of: 1. The basis of his authority. 2. The cause of the arrest, except when: a. The arrestee flees or forcibly resists before the officer informs him. b. Giving the information would imperil the arrest. 3. If notification is not given before, it must be given as soon after the arrest as is reasonable. C. Deputies must notify their supervisor prior to effecting a physical arrest of a person 12 and under, or 65 and older. The supervisor will review the circumstances of the arrest and must approve the physical arrest of such individual. Supervisors shall consider the type and level of offense, the vio- lent nature of the incident, the offender’s demeanor and past record of offenses, and the risk of public harm if a physical arrest is not made. II. ARREST WITH A WARRANT OR CAPIAS: A. Origination: An arrest warrant is issued by a magistrate if, after review, he or she reasonably believes the person complained against has committed an offense within his or her jurisdiction, F.S. 901.02. B. Jurisdiction: Warrants will be directed to all sheriffs of the state. They should be executed by the sheriff of the county in which the arrest is made, unless the arrest is made in fresh pursuit, F.S. 901.04. C. Authority: Only deputies with arrest powers will execute an arrest warrant or capias. D. Warrant Application: An application for an arrest warrant requires the following: 1. Approval of a supervisor. 2. Completion of a Pasco County Complaint Affidavit [PSO 3-0172] stating the probable cause for the arrest. 3. Review by the state attorney’s office. 4. If approved, the sworn affidavit will be presented to a judge for issuance of an arrest war- rant. 3  G.O. 74.3 E. When effecting an arrest with a warrant, the deputy making the arrest must inform the person to be arrested of: 1. The cause of the arrest; and 2. That a warrant has been issued, except when: a. The person flees; b. Forcibly resists; c. Or to do so would imperil the arrest. 3. The officer need not have the warrant on his person but, upon request of the person arrest- ed, will show it to him as soon as practicable. F. Warrant Entry: If a warrant is received by the deputy during normal operating hours of the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s office, the deputy will ensure that the warrant is entered in Clericus. 1. During normal operating hours, the deputy will contact the Criminal Process Unit and pro- vide the necessary information for warrant entry into the NCIC/FCIC computer systems. The deputy will send the original warrant to the Criminal Process Unit and keep a copy for service and execution. 2. After normal operating hours, the deputy will notify the Criminal Process Unit supervisor that a walk through warrant was issued. Criminal Process will enter the warrant information into the NCIC/FCIC computer systems. 3. The deputy may serve the original warrant after normal operating hours. However, if the wanted person is not found and served, the deputy will send the original warrant to the Criminal Process Unit and maintain a copy for future service. G. Warrant Execution: For execution purposes, the term warrant will include a capias. A depu- ty conducting a criminal investigation will do an NCIC/FCIC computer check through or the Crim- inal Process Unit for any outstanding warrants. An outstanding warrant will be confirmed with the originating agency. 1. Pasco County warrants will be confirmed through Teletype with verification from the Criminal Process Unit. A Pasco County warrant will be confirmed before an arrest is made. 2. Warrants issued outside Pasco County jurisdiction will be confirmed through Teletype or the Criminal Process Unit. The issuing agency will be contacted to verify active status. An ar- rest will not be made without verification from the issuing agency. a. Out-of-state warrants will be verified with the issuing agency for status and extradition purposes. Warrants confirmed for extradition status will be processed as a fugitive from jus- 4  G.O. 74.3 tice (F.S. 941.02) with no bond. The person will be released if the verifying agency refuses to extradite on the warrant. b. Non-Pasco warrants issued within the State of Florida may have limitations on the geo- graphical pickup area. If Pasco County is outside the verified pickup area, the person will be released. 3. Out of county/state arrest request: a. Issuing agency must send a teletype confirming arrest warrant to include: 1. all available suspect identifiers (i.e. D.O.B., SS #, height, weight, hair and eye color, tattoos, etc.); 2. warrant number and all charges; 3. any prior arrest history, propensity towards violence, or possible weapons suspect may possess; and 4. a photograph, if available; b. This agency will not pursue a wanted person(s) that is not entered into NCIC or FCIC, without a teletype from the issuing agency. c. Out of state warrants (Fugitives from Justice Charges) must have confirmation of extradition prior to apprehension of the suspect. d. Upon arrest, a teletype will be sent to the using agency to notify them of the arrest. e. Booking and/or warrants will notify the issuing agency of prisoner pick-up procedures, and of extradition procedures, if applicable. H. Documentation: All warrant arrests will be documented in MFR on a Pasco County Com- plaint Affidavit. Copies of the warrant will be included when available. If a copy is not available, the deputy will include the original teletype printout of the NCIC/FCIC computer check and the verification of the warrant status. III. CIVIL ARREST ORDER: A. General: Florida Statutes do not provide deputies with the authority for making a warrantless civil arrest. Civil complaints will be referred to the Clerk of the Circuit Court. All civil arrest or- ders will be executed by certified law enforcement deputies. Deputies are not authorized to execute foreign civil arrest orders. Foreign arrest orders must be domesticated by a Pasco County judge. B. Use of Force: Deputies will not force entry into any building for the purpose of executing a civil arrest order, unless specifically authorized by the judge signing the order. A deputy will noti- fy his or her supervisor of a force provision before executing the order. 5  G.O. 74.3 IV. WAIVERS OF PROSECUTION A. General: Members can accept a written waiver of prosecution from a victim only when prob- able cause exists for the arrest of a suspect. Waivers cannot be accepted in cases where mere sus- picion exists to believe the suspect committed the offense in question. B. Approval: Members shall obtain their supervisor’s approval prior to accepting a written waiv- er of prosecution from a victim. Supervisors shall consider the violent nature of the incident, the offender’s history, and the risk of public harm if an arrest is not made prior to approval. V. CONCEALED WEAPON AND FIREARM LICENSE CHECK: A. Requirement: F.S. 790.06 (3) mandates that, upon notification, the Department of State sus- pend the concealed weapon/firearm license of any person arrested or formally charged (through the State Attorney’s Office) with: 1. Any felony; 2. A misdemeanor involving violence, to include: a. Battery. b. Domestic Violence. c. Any firearm violation. d. A violation of F.S. 893. (Florida Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act.) e. Violation of a Domestic or Repeat Violence Injunction. f. A second D.U.I. charge within three years of a previous charge. g. Any other violation of Florida Statute or County Ordinance, if applicable, that is inter- preted as a violent offense. B. License Check: A deputy who arrests any person for one of the listed offenses or any other violent misdemeanor will request a concealed weapon/firearm license check. The request may be conducted through Criminal Process, E.L.V.I.S, the CJIS Help Desk at 1-800-292-3242, or the De- partment of State, Bureau of Concealed Weapon & Firearm Licensure, at (850) 488-6960 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The arrestee’s social security number is required. C. Suspension Notification: Upon verification that the arrestee has been issued or has filed for a concealed weapon/firearm license, the deputy will impound the license if it is in the arrestee’s possession. The deputy will provide the following arrestee information to the Bureau of Concealed Weapon & Firearm Licensure to initiate the suspension process: 1. Name and address; 6  G.O. 74.3 2. Date of birth; 3. Social security number; and 4. Criminal charges. D. Documentation: The arresting deputy will complete a Concealed Weapon License Notifica- tion [PSO 3-0127], and attach a copy of the Offense Incident Report, Complaint Affidavit, and li- cense, if applicable. The paperwork will be forwarded to the division commander for approval and routing to the Department of Agriculture. VI. SEARCH OF PERSON ARRESTED: A. The person arrested, and the area within the person’s immediate presence, may be searched for the purpose of: 1. Officer safety; 2. To prevent escape; and 3. To discover the fruits of the crime. B. A deputy making a lawful search without a warrant may seize all instruments, articles, or things discovered on the person arrested or within their immediate control. C. Search of Opposite Sex: Whenever possible, searches of an arrestee will be done by a deputy of the same gender. If a deputy of the same gender is unavailable, an attempt will be made to have a second deputy present as a witness. If it is not feasible to have a deputy of the same gender or a second deputy to witness the search, a preliminary search will be conducted for officer safety with a more comprehensive search conducted at the detention facility or when an additional deputy or same gender deputy is available. D. Strip Searches and Body Cavity Searches: A strip search is a thorough search of the prison- er and their clothing. Clothing is removed, body cavities are checked, and all clothing is carefully scrutinized. Members shall not conduct strip or body cavity searches. E. Persons Remanded into Custody or Arrested at a Pasco County Courthouse: Deputies shall perform a custodial search of all persons arrested at a Pasco County Courthouse or remanded into custody by a judge who are transferred to a courthouse holding area. VII. RESIDENCE ENTRY: A. Warrant Requirement: The entry into a residence is one of the most scrutinized areas of po- lice actions. A valid arrest warrant, signed by a judge or magistrate, is the legal foundation for an intrusion into an arrestee’s home to effect the arrest. A search warrant is also required for entry in- to a third party residence to effect the arrest of a person, who does not reside at the specific resi- dence, except with consent as outlined in B. 5 below. 7  G.O. 74.3 B. Warrantless Entry: The courts have allowed certain exceptions to the warrant requirement for entry into a residence. These warrantless entry exceptions include: 1. Arrest: a. When a suspect has committed a violent crime inside a residence, is armed, and there is likelihood that the person will escape. b. When a deputy is in fresh pursuit and the suspect enters his or her residence, the deputy may follow the suspect into the residence to effect the arrest. c. Consent is obtained to enter the premises from an owner or lessor. d. A person agrees to leave the residence voluntarily. (A deputy may use deception or trick- ery to have the person voluntarily leave the home. However, trickery and deception will not be used to gain admittance to the residence.) e. The owner or lessor of a third party residence may provide consent to a search of a resi- dence not belonging to the suspect. 2. Emergency: A deputy may make a warrantless entry into a home when there are circum- stances that provide the deputy with reasonable belief that an emergency exists. The deputy may sweep through the home to the extent of locating any injured person(s). Deputies will articulate the reasonable belief in the Offense Incident Report generated for the emergency. C. Forced Entry: F.S. 901.19 authorizes a deputy to force entry into a building to make an arrest either by a warrant, or when authorized to make an arrest for a felony without a warrant (approved warrant exception). Forced entry into a building will only be accomplished after authorization from a supervisor or as the result of fresh pursuit. A deputy may use all force necessary and rea- sonable to enter the building. Authorization is permitted after: 1. The deputy observes or reasonably believes the person to be inside the building. 2. The deputy has announced his or her authority. (The deputy will announce, in a clear and loud voice, “Sheriff’s Office” as notification of their authority.) 3. The deputy has announced the purpose of the entry and fails to gain admittance. (The depu- ty will announce the reason for his or her entry: e.g., search warrant, arrest warrant, and knock loudly enough to be heard by anyone inside the building. The deputy will then determine if ad- mittance is being denied prior to forcing entry.) D. Sweeps: Sweeps may be performed only in areas where a person could be concealed. (These areas do not include drawers, files, or other small areas.) Any contraband or evidence observed in plain view may be seized. 8  G.O. 74.3 1. Precautionary Sweep: When making an in-home arrest, a deputy may, as a precautionary matter and without probable cause or reasonable suspicion, look into closets and other spaces in the areas immediately adjoining place of arrest from which an attack may be launched. 2. Protective Sweep: Deputies may conduct a sweep beyond closets and other spaces imme- diately adjoining place of arrest, if there are facts and circumstances that would lead a reasonably prudent officer to believe that the area to be swept harbors an individual that poses a threat to those at the arrest scene. VIII. STOP AND FRISK: [CFA 15.07] A. Stop: F.S. 901.151, the Florida Stop and Frisk law, allows for the temporary detention of a person under circumstances that reasonably indicate that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a violation of criminal law. These temporary detentions are used for deter- mining the identity of the person and the circumstances surrounding the person’s presence. Limita- tions to the Stop and Frisk include: 1. The detention will not be longer than the time reasonably necessary to determine identifica- tion and to inquire about the circumstances creating the reasonable suspicion. 2. The person will be released if probable cause does not exist for an arrest. 3. The detention will not extend beyond the initial stop or the immediate area. 4. All stops made under this section will be electronically documented in the mobile field re- porting (MFR) system as a field interview report. If a crime is identified, it will be electronically documented under the appropriate crime title in the MFR system. [CFA 15.07] 5. Bias based profiling is prohibited as a means to target any person stopped pursuant to the Florida Stop and Frisk law. B. Frisk: A person who is temporarily detained may be frisked for weapons if there is probable cause to believe that the person is armed with a dangerous weapon and is a threat to the safety of the deputy or any other person. The frisk may be done only to the extent necessary to disclose or reveal the presence of a weapon. 1. A weapon discovered during a frisk may be used as probable cause for the arrest of the per- son. 2. If a deputy plainly feels the presence of what is immediately apparent to be contraband or evidence of a criminal offense, the deputy may remove the contraband or evidence and charge the person accordingly. However, the frisk may not extend beyond the scope of a weapon search in order to discover any other contraband (Minnesota v. Dickerson, 1993). 3. A frisk may be extended to a bag or container in the person’s possession. 9  G.O. 74.3 C. Search: If probable cause exists for the arrest of the detained person, the deputy will arrest the person and search the person and the area within the person’s immediate presence incident to ar- rest. D. Citizen Contacts: A deputy may, at any time, request to talk to a citizen as long as the en- counter is with the citizen’s consent and the citizen is aware of his or her freedom to leave. This contact is not subject to the Stop and Frisk limitations if it is consensual. No documentation is re- quired for a citizen encounter. IX. CONSENT SEARCH: A deputy may request a person to consent to a search of their person or personal items. A consent to search must be voluntary and not based upon any form of coercion. The consent will be documented on a Multi-Purpose form [PSO 3-0017]. X. SEARCH AT CRIME SCENES: Although the United States Supreme Court has stated there is no crime scene exception to the fourth amendment, deputies do have the right to respond to emer- gency situations: A. Warrantless entry is permissible when deputies reasonably believe that either a person within is in immediate need of assistance or to see if a wanted felon is still in the premises. B. Deputies may seize only evidence that is in plain view during the course of legitimate emer- gency activities. C. If a suspect has authority and control over the premises, and consent to search is not given or is refused, a search warrant should be obtained to continue the search initiated by the investigative entry. XI. SEARCHES OF VEHICLES: A. Warrantless Searches: The United States Supreme Court has ruled that due to the mobile na- ture of vehicles on public roadways, they may be searched without a warrant as follows: 1. Incident to Arrest: A vehicle’s interior will be searched incident to a recent operator’s ar- rest if the arrestee is within reaching distance of the passenger compartment at the time of the search, or it is reasonable to believe the vehicle contains evidence of the offense of arrest. 2. Auto Search: A deputy may search any portion of a vehicle, including closed containers, as long as the deputy has probable cause to search that particular area of the vehicle or container for contraband, weapons, or evidence of a crime. Probable cause can be established through a ca- nine exterior search, direct observation, or other legally established investigative methods. 3. Plain View: A deputy may seize contraband discovered in plain view inside a vehicle and search the entire vehicle and any open or closed containers found within the vehicle. However, a deputy must view the contraband from a legal vantage point and the nature of the contraband must be immediately apparent to the deputy. 10  G.O. 74.3 4. Impound: A deputy will inventory an entire vehicle and its contents to include any open or closed containers subsequent to an impound. An impound will be accomplished in accord- ance with the general order indexed as Vehicle Impound and Towing. 5. Consent: A vehicle’s driver and/or owner may consent to a search of a vehicle. A consent to search must be voluntary, and not based upon any form of coercion. When possible, the con- sent will be documented on a Multi-Purpose Form [PSO 3-0017]. B. Warrant Searches: The search of a vehicle, based upon a valid warrant, will be executed in accordance with the conditions established in the search warrant. A vehicle search warrant is re- quired when the vehicle to be searched is: 1. On private property; and/or 2. Is immobile and not traveling on public roadways. XII. ARRESTEE RIGHTS: [CFA 15.06] A. Miranda Warning: In Miranda v. Arizona, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a suspect in custody must be advised of the Miranda Warning and a waiver obtained before any interrogation. 1. Custody: The courts have held that custody begins when a person does not reasonably be- lieve that he or she is free to leave or their freedom of movement has been curtailed by the words and/or actions of a deputy. It is the mindset of the person being questioned that will determine a custodial interrogation, not the mindset of the deputy. 2. Interrogation: Miranda Warning cards are provided to deputies. The Miranda Warning will be read and a waiver of rights obtained for suspects who are questioned while in custody. A Miranda Warning is not required during investigations that include: a. Routine traffic stops. b. General interviews used in the fact-finding area of an investigation. (Miranda may be re- quired if the fact finding phase becomes accusatory, restricting the freedom of movement of a suspect.) c. No questioning of a suspect is required. d. A Stop and Frisk encounter. Miranda will be required if a probable cause or warrant ar- rest is made and the questioning of a suspect continues. e. Non-custodial interview/interrogation. B. Invocation of Rights: The rights of an arrestee will be adhered to at all times during any in- vestigation. When an arrestee asserts his or her Miranda rights, the deputy will discontinue ques- tioning when the arrestee: 11  G.O. 74.3 1. Invokes the right to remain silent. (Questioning may resume if the arrestee reinitiates the process.) 2. Requests the presence of an attorney. C. Foreign Nationals: Most countries are covered by the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela- tions, which leaves the decision to the arrestee whenever the Consul will be called or not. Only the following are covered by bilateral consular agreements that require mandatory Consular Notifica- tion regardless of the arrestee’s wishes: Algeria, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ba- hamas, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Brunei, Bulgaria, China, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Dominica, Fiji, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guyana, Hong Kong, Hungary, Jamaica, Ka- zakhstan, Kiribati, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Moldova, Mongolia, Nigeria, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USSR (although the USSR no longer exists, some nationals of its successor states may still have only a USSR pass- port), Uzbekistan, Zambia and Zimbabwe. 1. Any other notification of a foreign consulate without the arrestee’s permission is illegal. 2. The fact that a consulate was notified, or that a foreign national declined notification, will be documented in the incident report. XIII. COMPLETING THE PROBABLE CAUSE AFFIDAVIT: A. Each time a suspect is arrested a probable cause affidavit shall be completed by the arresting deputy. When completing the probable cause affidavit the arresting deputy shall: 1. Check the PSO FL 0510000 at the top of the probable cause affidavit. 2. Complete the administrative, defendant, charge, cost recovery, and probable cause state- ment sections on the front of the probable cause affidavit. a. Each count of the same offense must be documented on a separate line in the charge sec- tion. If there are not enough spaces for the charges, use a probable cause affidavit contin- uation form. 3. Complete the co-defendant section if applicable. 4. Complete the juvenile section if the defendant is a juvenile. 5. If there is a victim, complete the victim information on the back of the State Attorney Copy. 6. If issuing a Notice to Appear, complete the Notice Section and the “Notice to Defendant” on the back of the Defendant’s copy. 12  G.O. 74.3 B. When writing the probable cause statement: 1. Include all of the elements in the offense. The elements of the crime are outlined in the state statute and in the State Attorney’s Office Charge Book. 2. Include statements made by the victim and any witnesses. 3. Include your own observations. 4. Include any evidence and how it supports your claim. 5. Include any statements made by any codefendants. 6. Include spontaneous utterances, voluntary statements and post-Miranda statements made by the defendant. C. Nebbia Holds: Nebbia holds are not authorized in Florida. XIV. OFF DUTY LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION: In order to avoid a conflict of interest and/or the appearance of impropriety, off-duty deputies are prohibited from taking law enforcement action in situations or incidents in which they have personal involvement. A. In these instances, off-duty deputies will request the assistance of on-duty deputies, and will await their arrival before any action is taken. B. Off-duty deputies may take enforcement action in those instances where there is personal involvement only when there is an imminent and articulable threat of significant loss of property, serious injury or death. XV. GLOSSARY: CAPIAS - A writ issued by a judge that commands an officer to take the body of a defendant into custody.
