INTRODUCTION This written directive establishes administrative guidelines and procedures for effecting arrests with or without warrants. II. TERMINOLOGY A. Body Cavity Search – The inspection of an arrestee’s anus or genitalia, including but not limited to inspections conducted visually, manually, or by means of any physical instrument (RSMo.544.193). B. Citation – The Uniform Traffic Ticket (UTT) will be referred to hereafter as a “Citation.” C. Contact and Advise (formerly Questioning Advisory) – A record intended to provide a way to let sworn members know of an interest to interview the person named in the record. No probable cause for arrest exists. D. Custodial Arrest Inventory – All custodial arrests require an inventory of any closed containers and personal property such as bags, backpacks, purses, suitcases, briefcases, and like items. E. Custodial Arrests –When a person is placed under arrest for a municipal ordinance violation, investigation arrest, or state/federal violation by a sworn member and then transported to a detention facility. F. Custodial Search/Search Incident to Arrest – The thorough examination of an arrestee’s clothing. Clothing will include all inner and outer coverings worn on their person (e.g., pants, shirt, coat, hat, gloves, etc.). Such searches must adhere to the limitations "relating to strip searches and/or body cavity searches." (RSMo. 544.193) G. E-Ticketing – Regional Justice Information System (REJIS) ticketing application installed on a mobile handheld device. H. Exigent Circumstances - An emergency demanding immediate action by a sworn member with insufficient time for the sworn member to obtain a search warrant or court order. 1. This authority is normally invoked when human life is endangered by an accident, sudden illness, or criminal activity. 2. Members should thoroughly articulate the circumstances in case reports. I. Fresh Pursuit – A police pursuit, whether by vehicle or foot, which is: 1. initiated within the peace officer’s jurisdiction, 2. immediate, meaning instant pursuit, 3. consistent with reasonable police safety practices, 4. conducted for the purpose of stopping the vehicle or apprehending the person (RSMo. 544.157). J. Kansas Uniform Fresh Pursuit Law – Allows a Missouri sworn member to immediately pursue a person into Kansas in order to arrest the person for committing a crime, such as a misdemeanor or felony offense, and grants the Missouri sworn member the same authority of arrest as a Kansas officer. There is also a requirement that the Missouri sworn member take the arrest before a judge in that state without delay (Kansas Statutes Annotated K.S.A. 22-2401). K. Local (KCPD) State Warrant – Issued by the Jackson County Associate Circuit Court for offenses investigated by this Department. Local (KCPD) state warrants are maintained on file at the Warrant Desk and are identified in the computer by the ORI MOKPD0000 and a KCPD case report number. L. Locate Message – Indicates a temporary change in record status in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and/or Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES) file. The message is sent by the agency locating a person or property previously entered by another agency. M. Missouri State Warrant – Any felony, misdemeanor, or county municipal warrant issued by any county within the state of Missouri with the exception of a Local (KCPD) State Warrant. -2- N. Missouri Uniform Fresh Pursuit Law – A law which provides that a sworn member from another state may enter into Missouri in fresh pursuit in order to arrest a person who is believed to have committed a felony or the crime of driving while intoxicated or driving with excessive blood alcohol content in such other state. 1. The law gives the sworn member of the other state the same authority of arrest as a Missouri sworn member. 2. The law further provides that if a sworn member of another state is going to make an arrest in Missouri, the person being arrested must be taken before a judge without delay in order to determine the validity of the arrest (RSMo. 544.155). O. Mobile Ticketing – REJIS ticketing application installed on a laptop/desktop computer for entering and printing of subpoenas, citations, summons, and warnings. P. Non-Custodial Arrests - When a sworn member issues a citation/summons and releases the person from the scene (i.e., signature bond). Q. Person of Interest – A notice that a person is wanted for questioning or is a person of interest in a crime. 1. This record is not utilized within KCPD. 2. This record is only utilized by outside agencies. 3. Members will contact the appropriate outside agency listed on the record to determine proper handling with the person. R. Probable Cause – A set of facts and circumstances available to the sworn member upon inquiry which warrants a person of reasonable prudence and caution to believe that certain items may be contraband, stolen property, or subject to seizure as evidence of a crime or that a crime has been committed and that the suspect has committed the crime. S. Protective Sweep – The purpose of a protective sweep is to ensure the security and safety of the sworn member, not to secure evidence. T. Serious Offense – A crime, in which violence is involved, such as rape, robbery, serious assault, or murder. -3- U. Significant Passage of Time – In the context of fresh pursuit, constant visual contact is not required. If a vehicle or person goes momentarily out- of-sight, but immediately comes back into sight, (e.g. going over a hill) the sworn member would not have "lost contact" within the meaning of the statute. However, a significant passage of time could be as little as a minute or two if the pursuing sworn member lost contact and was not in view of the vehicle or person being pursued. V. Strip Search – The removal or rearrangement of some or all of the clothing of a person so as to permit an inspection of the genitals, buttocks, anus, breasts, or undergarments of such person including, but not limited to, inspections conducted visually, manually, or by means of any physical instrument (RSMo. 544.193). W. Summons – The General Ordinance Summons (GOS) will be referred to hereafter as a “Summons.” X. Temporary Wants – A record entry in MULES/NCIC without the existence of a signed warrant, provided that the entering agency has probable cause to believe that the person has committed a felony, may attempt to flee to avoid capture, and the agency is in the process of procuring an arrest warrant from a court. Temporary wants may also be entered upon the discovery of an escape from custody. Y. Trial De Novo Warrant – Issued by a Jackson County Circuit Court Judge after a case has been appealed from the Jackson County Circuit Court, 16th Judicial Circuit of Missouri, Kansas City Municipal Division, and the person fails to appear. Z. Want – A notice that a person is wanted based upon probable cause from an active investigation. AA. Warrant Verification – A process of contacting, by telephone or hit confirmation (teletype) message, the agency issuing the warrant to determine: 1. If the warrant is valid (outstanding). 2. If the person in custody is the same person named/described in the warrant. 3. If the originating agency will extradite. BB. Writs of Attachment – Issued by the Jackson County Circuit Court, 16th Judicial Circuit of Missouri, Kansas City Municipal Division, for victims/witnesses who fail to appear in court as directed by a subpoena. -4- III.

Effecting an Arrest 1. The verbal command of a sworn member to a person that they are under arrest and the submission of the person to such command or the physical restraint of the person is all that is necessary to constitute an arrest (RSMo. 544.180). 2. An arrest outside the city limits should be effected by the appropriate jurisdictional authority except in fresh pursuit as outlined in Section D of this Annex. B.

Probable cause, including the facts and circumstances leading to the arrest, must be included in all reports relating to the arrest and charge. b. The arrest cannot be based solely on reasonable suspicion nor can it be justified by facts and circumstances developed after the arrest. c. The mere presence of a companion with the arrestee is not enough to establish probable cause to believe the companion is an accomplice. 2. Any detention or seizure of a person that is not based on probable cause or a warrant could make any physical evidence seized, statements made by the suspect or statements taken by the sworn member inadmissible in court. Members will refer to the current written directive entitled, “Detaining & Questioning and Search & Seizure Procedures.” 3. While within the city limits, sworn members may arrest on view any person they see violating or have probable cause to believe they violated, any state law, or city ordinance, or whom they believe is a fugitive felon from another state or jurisdiction (RSMo. 84.710). 4.

(2) Sworn members are in fresh pursuit of a fleeing suspect that they have probable cause to arrest for a serious felony that has been freshly committed. (3) Sworn members have probable cause to believe that critical evidence will be removed or destroyed unless the arrest is made immediately. c.

Under these conditions, the sworn members would be justified in entering the private premise to complete the arrest. C. Authority to Arrest with an Arrest Warrant 1. Whenever practical, the sworn member will obtain a warrant before initiating an arrest. 2.
