Detainee Registration 

j

the policy of the DPD that:  All detainees in the custody of the DPD at the Detroit Detention Center (DDC) are registered in an expeditious, consistent and standardized manner, so that they may be arraigned, transferred, bonded, or otherwise processed without unnecessary delay;  All detainees in DPD custody at the DDC with warrants issued by a city of Detroit court shall have those holds cleared by presenting the detainee to the court from which the warrant was issued or by the setting and posting of bond, where applicable. The fact that an arrestee has not been arraigned or charged on the current arrest shall not delay this process;  All warrants shall be documented, including the time each warrant was identified and the time each warrant was cleared; and  All city of Detroit open charges that are not cleared within forty-eight (48) hours shall be documented on the Warrant Tracking Hold form UF-004/UF-007 form on a daily basis by the OIC of the investigation. 305.3 - 3 Definitions 305.3- 3.1 Charge(s)

  1. Initial Charge(s) - apply to warrantless arrest(s) crimes that will be assigned to an     Investigative Unit. An initial charge involves final charging dispositions.
  2. Final Charge(s) are determined two (2) ways: 1) A warrant is obtained from the initial     charge, then the exact charges are listed here, i.e. Initial Charge: PSMV/ Final     Charge: R&C 0/1000/habitual; and 2) When a detainee is arrested on an outstanding     warrant(s), parole violation, probation violation, and bondable misdemeanors that     are not assigned to an investigative unit.     D E T R O I T P O L I C E D E P A R T M E N T     M A N U A L     D E T R O I T P O L I C E D E PA R T M E N T     M A N U A L     Page 2 of 6     2022     305.3 Detainee Registration     305.3- 3.2 Cleared     Presenting the detainee to the court (live or video) from which the warrant was issued or     by the setting and posting of bond where applicable.     305.3- 3.3 Hold     Any outstanding charge(s) or warrant(s) other than those which serve as the predicate     for the current arrest.     305.3 - 4 REGISTERING DETAINEES     305.3- 4.1 Arrest Book

The FRONT DESK SUPERVISOR (FDS) shall ensure that once the identification     clearance number is obtained from Records and Identification, indicating also     whether the detainee is wanted (WTD) or not wanted (N/W); the number is entered     in the Arrest Book. If there is no previous identification clearance number, the word     “new” shall be entered in the Arrest Book on the line designated for the identification     clearance number.
  6. When a detainee is final charged from the initial charge(s) to a new or different     charge, the information shall be re-entered in the Arrest Book under the original date     of arrest and the word “re-registered” in red ink inserted into the disposition column.     305.3- 4.2 Detainee Input Sheet (D.I.S.)

    3. A positive response shall show a "hold for warrant number" or "hold for investigation.”     Felony warrant holds are more serious than any misdemeanor charge. Charges     emanating from the 36th District Court, Criminal Division or 3     rd Circuit Court normally take     precedence over pending 36th District Court, Traffic and Ordinance Division charges. If     a computer-hit printout provides a fingerprint classification, the detainee's fingerprints     and the computer-hit printout shall be provided to Identification for comparison.
    4. If the inquiry reveals that there are no outstanding warrants pending against the     detainee, the FDS shall ensure that the detainee is registered on the charge for which     the detainee was originallydetained.     305.3- 5.1 Verifying Outstanding Warrants

The three (3) possible     classifications are: felony, misdemeanor, or circuit court misdemeanor (treated as a     felony). The following arrests require special attention to avoid misclassification:     Violation of Probation/Parole: When a person is arrested for violation of parole or on a     warrant for violation of probation, the type of arrest (felony or misdemeanor) indicated     shall correspond with the type of offense (felony or misdemeanor), for which the person     was originally sentenced.     Disorderly Conduct: When registering a detainee for violating the Disorderly Conduct     Ordinance, the final charge shall include the specific provision of the ordinance which     was violated. (e.g., if the offense for which the person was arrested is "loitering in a     place of illegal occupation," it shall be stated specifically whether such place is a blind     pig, gaming place, a place where narcotics are kept or sold, or a house of prostitution,     as there are different classifications for these charges).     Fugitives: The arrest classification for fugitives arrested on an extraditable offense shall     be a felony and listed as “Flight/Escape-400” in JMS. Fugitives arrested within the state     shall be registered using "fugitive" as the charge.     D E T R O I T P O L I C E D E PA R T M E N T     M A N U A L     Page 4 of 6     2022     305.3 Detainee Registration     Federal offense: The classification for all persons arrested and charged with a federal     offense is a felony.     Violation of Injunction: Persons arrested for violation of an injunction, shall be charged     with "Violation of Injunction."

    10. A copy of the DIS form shall be forwarded to Records and Identification for any     warrants that are not sought (e.g., complainant refuses to prosecute or no case if     filed).     305.3- 5.4 Documenting Holds
    11. The FDS shall instruct the clerk or LEIN operator to place a hold on a detainee by     notating in section two (2) on the DIS form, along with the date discovered, military     time the hold was discovered, and the agency or command notifying the member.     Each DIS form shall be checked for holds placed on the detainees in custody.
    12. The agency for whom the detainee has a "Hold" (e.g., 3rd Circuit, FOC, MDOC), and     the DPD “Holds” are documented to ensure clarity in the following manner, the     person's district, command, or department, such as "Sergeant Brown, #5, I.O.U." or     "Prob. Dept., Brown.”
    13. In cases where a detainee has been registered on an initial charge with a “HOLD”     for a charge discovered through the criminal records check and no court case can     be developed on the initial charge, the detainee shall be processed on the “HOLD”     as a final charge.
    14. If there are multiple initial charges on a detainee, Identification must be notified when     all of the initial charges are not sustained as final charges. A copy of the DIS form     and the Arrest Records Return Information Form (DPD 191) shall be forwarded to     Identification.
    15. Members shall not place a “HOLD” on a detainee for a lesser but included offense,     or an added traffic offense such as "Reckless Driving/HOLD for N.O.P.," unless a     warrant exists.
    16.
