ELITE STRATEGIC TRAINING: WEEK 8 REVIEW AND HOMEWORK

PG 208 SERIES REVIEW: ARRESTS

• Hot Pursuit and Jurisdictional Limits: A New York Police Department (NYPD) officer may arrest a person in the county of occurrence or an adjoining county. Within New York State, an officer may arrest anywhere while in "hot pursuit" for violations or traffic infractions. However, officers are strictly prohibited from pursuing or arresting individuals outside of New York State for violations or traffic infractions.

• Off-Duty Arrest Notifications: For an arrest effected by an off-duty Uniformed Member of the Service (UMOS), the Desk Officer is responsible for notifying the Commanding Officer or Duty Captain to verify the arrest.

• Resisting Recidivist Definition: A prisoner is classified as a "Resisting Recidivist" if they have been arrested for Resisting Arrest ($2$) or more times within the past ($5$) years.

• Prisoner Search Gender Protocols: In situations where an arrestee's gender is not immediately apparent or if the arrestee objects to the gender of the searching member, the Desk Officer or supervisor will assign a UMOS of the gender requested by the arrestee, provided it is consistent with officer safety and resource availability.

• Strip Search Approval: To conduct a strip search, knowledge and approval must be obtained from the arresting officer's immediate supervisor or the Borough Court Section supervisor. Approval from a Desk Officer or Precinct of Arrest is not the sole requirement.

• Attorney Interviews: Desk Officers must permit interviews between a prisoner and an attorney in the muster room for a reasonable time. A UMOS must be assigned to keep the prisoner and attorney under observation at all times.

• Nassau County Arrests: When a UMOS makes an arrest in Nassau County while not specifically assigned or ordered, they must notify the Operations Unit. Notification to the $105^{th}$ Precinct is not the standard procedure.

• Lineup Supervision: Lineup procedures must be personally supervised by the concerned Detective Supervisor or a qualified supervisor of an Investigative Unit. Desk Officers or Patrol Supervisors do not personally supervise lineups.

• Court Return and Duty Status: If a UMOS returns from court several hours (e.g., $7$ hours) before their next scheduled tour, they are not automatically required to be assigned to non-patrol/non-enforcement duties.

• Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT) Fingerprint Expediting: When processing a DAT and a NYSID number is not produced, the arresting officer must contact the Division of Criminal Justice System in Albany—not the Borough Court Section—to expedite the fingerprint search.

• Bribery Notifications: If an arresting officer makes a bribery arrest and the Assistant District Attorney (ADA) refuses to charge bribery, the officer must notify the Commanding Officer or Duty Captain. If a UMOS is offered a bribe (especially a future bribe), they must notify the Desk Officer/Supervisor immediately. If unavailable, they must call the Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB) Command Center.

• Domestic Violence and Concurrent Jurisdiction: Concurrent jurisdiction exists for family offenses if the relationship is defined by the Family Court Act AND the offender is ($18$) years of age or older. If the offender is ($16$) or ($17$) years old, concurrent jurisdiction only applies for felony-level family offenses.

• Religious Head Coverings: Arresting officers may not remove religious head coverings for safekeeping unless there is an articulable fact-based reason regarding safety (harm to self or others). Permission to retain the head covering must be obtained from the Desk Officer.

PG 210 SERIES: PRISONERS GENERAL PROCEDURE

• Holdover Prisoner: Defined as a prisoner who has entered the court process but has not yet been arraigned and has not been returned to police custody for overnight detention.

• Security Guidelines: All prisoners in Department custody must be searched upon ENTRY and EXIT from any police, detention, district attorney, or court facility. Prisoners being moved from other locations must be searched before departure and upon arrival at the destination.

PG 210-02: HOSPITALIZED PRISONERS

Coverage by the Precinct of Hospitalization for multiple arrests must not exceed ($1$) tour.

• Property Handling: UMOS must search prisoners at the hospital (in the presence of witnesses if taken directly there). Property dangerous to life (belts, ties, shoelaces), evidence, and specific items like NYPD Auxiliary shields or Pistol Licenses must be delivered to the Desk Officer, Precinct of Arrest.
