301-Principles of Arrest WICHITA POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICY MANUAL POLICY 301 PRINCIPLES OF ARREST I. PURPOSE To specify guidelines and procedures for warranted and warrantless arrests and searches. II. POLICY When determining to take enforcement action, officers shall consider what is required by law and what is in the community’s best interest. Officers shall remain objective and professional and shall keep up to date on changes to the law that affects them in the performance of their duties. III. PROCEDURES A. General Arrest Principles: 1. Arrest consists of three (3) elements: a. Restraint of liberty; b. Intent to make an arrest; c. Comprehension by the detainee they are under arrest. 2. An arrest is made by an actual restraint of the person arrested or by their submission to custody. An arrest may be made on any day and at any time of the day or night. All necessary and reasonable force may be used to effect an entry upon any building or property or part thereof to make an authorized arrest. 3. A law enforcement officer does not have to retreat from making a lawful arrest because of resistance or threatened resistance to the arrest. Officers may use only the force they reasonably believe necessary to make the arrest or to defend themselves or others from bodily harm while making the arrest. 4. When a lawful arrest is effected, officers may reasonably search the person arrested and the area within the person’s immediate control for the purpose of; a. Protecting the officer from attack; b. Preventing the person from escaping; or Policy 301 Principles of Arrest Revised 7/7/2021 Page 1 of 6 Policy 301 PRINCIPLES OF ARREST c. Discovering fruits, instrumentalities, or evidence of the crime. [State v. Anderson, 259 Kan. 16] 5. Without making an arrest, a law enforcement officer may stop any person in a public place who the officer reasonably suspects is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a crime, and may demand of that person a name, address, and an explanation of the person’s actions. If the officer has articulable suspicion or suspects personal safety requires it, the officer may “frisk” [pat down] the person for firearms or other dangerous weapons. If the officer finds a firearm or weapon, or a different item, the possession of which may be a crime or evidence of a crime, the officer may take and keep it until the completion of the questioning, at which time the item shall be returned, if lawfully possessed, or arrest such person. The individual may be detained for a reasonable length of time while the officer determines whether a crime has been committed. 6. If the officer determines a crime has been committed, the person may be arrested. However, if no crime has been committed, the person must be released. A person cannot be arrested only for refusing to provide identification to an officer. 7. Prior to custodial interrogation, officers shall read the Miranda Warning and secure a waiver. Refer to Policy 306 Miranda Warning and Waiver. 8. Law enforcement officers employed by the City of Wichita may exercise their powers as law enforcement officers: a. anywhere within the City limits and outside the limits when on property owned by or under the control of the City; and b. in any other place when a request for assistance has been made by law enforcement officers from that place or when in fresh pursuit of a person. 9. WPD personnel who have obtained commissions outside the City of Wichita may exercise police powers in those jurisdictions as outlined by law. 10. A person who is not a law enforcement officer may arrest another person when: a. A felony has been or is being committed, and the person making the arrest has probable cause to believe the arrested person is guilty thereof; or b. Any crime, other than a traffic infraction, has been or is being committed by the arrested person in the view of the person making the arrest. 11. A law enforcement officer making an arrest may command the assistance of any person who may be in the vicinity. A person commanded to assist a law enforcement officer shall have the same authority to arrest as the officer who commands assistance. Policy 301 Principles of Arrest Page 2 of 6 Policy 301 PRINCIPLES OF ARREST B. Warrant Arrest Guidelines 1. Whenever possible, a warrant shall be obtained prior to making an arrest. When a valid warrant is placed in the hands of an officer for execution, it is the officer’s duty to carry out its demands without delay. 2. A law enforcement officer may execute a warrant by arresting a person from within that person’s dwelling or from any public place when either of the following circumstances exist: a. The officer has possession of an arrest warrant issued by any magistrate in the state of Kansas for any felony or misdemeanor crime; or b. The officer has probable cause to believe a warrant for the person’s arrest has been issued: 1. In Kansas; or 2. In another jurisdiction for a felony committed therein. 3. Officers cannot enter the dwelling of a citizen to search for another person named in an arrest warrant unless one (1) of the following criteria is met: a. A search warrant is obtained; b. A Waiver to Search [WPD Form 322-106 (English, Spanish Vietnamese version)] is signed by a person having care, custody, or control over the property; c. A waiver to search is given verbally by a person having care, custody or control over the property. An attempt should be made to document verbal waivers via a Body-Worn Camera. A written wavier is always preferable; verbal waivers are acceptable only under compelling conditions which dictate their necessity; d. Any of the following exigent circumstances exist; 1. The person will not be apprehended, or evidence of the crime will be irretrievably lost unless a person is immediately arrested. 2. The person may cause injury to self or others, or damage to property, unless immediately arrested. 3. The person intentionally inflicted bodily harm to another person within the dwelling. 4. The officer is in fresh pursuit of the suspect. Policy 301 Principles of Arrest Page 3 of 6 Policy 301 PRINCIPLES OF ARREST C. Warrantless Arrest Guidelines 1. A law enforcement officer may arrest and book a person in any public place, when any of the following circumstances exist: a. The officer has probable cause to believe the person is committing, or has committed a felony. b. Any crime, except a traffic infraction or cigarette or tobacco infraction, has been or is being committed by the person in their view. c. The officer has probable cause to believe the person is committing, or has committed a misdemeanor, AND the officer has probable cause to believe one (1) or more of the following: 1. The offender is unable to be identified to the reasonable satisfaction of the arresting officer. 2. The offender is not a resident of the State of Kansas. 3. The offender refuses to give a verbal promise to appear in court when served with a Notice to Appear. 4. The offender is being accused of theft, and has been convicted of a theft charge or has any pending theft charge(s). 2. Officers should attempt to resolve misdemeanors at the scene of a complaint to avoid transfer to a detective when possible. a. When an officer investigates a misdemeanor case, the case may be charged if the complainant signs the UCC and the complaint is corroborated by at least one of the following: 1. Visible injury; 2. Witness to the incident; 3. Confession from the offender. b. If the offender is present, and the case meets charging standards, the officer may arrest for a misdemeanor offense based on principles listed in III C of this policy. c. If the offender is present and the case meets charging standards, but it does not rise to the level to justify an arrest pursuant to III C of this policy, the officer may issue an NTA and release for a misdemeanor crime (other than DV or DUI), Policy 301 Principles of Arrest Page 4 of 6 Policy 301 PRINCIPLES OF ARREST following the NTA/UCC procedures outlined in Policy 302. NOTE: Refer to Policy 512 for Domestic Violence cases and Policy 517 for Larceny/Theft cases. d. If an offender is not present but sufficient proof for charging, as outlined above, exists, the officer should complete the UCC, have the complainant sign it, write “NTA” at the top, and submit it with their paperwork. e. In situations where the officer believes the offender poses significant danger to the complainant or the general public, the officer should contact the City Prosecutor’s Office during regular business hours or by email to request the NTA be converted to a warrant as soon as possible. f. If there is a civilian victim of a crime, they should be provided the victim information card by the officer. D. Warrantless Searches Guidelines Without having obtained prior consent or a search warrant before entering a dwelling or other private premises, there must be sufficient exigent circumstances to justify a law enforcement officer’s entry into such premises [U.S. v Reed, 572 F. 2d 412(2nd Cir. 1978)]. Probable cause alone is not sufficient to justify a warrantless search or entry into a private residence. [State v. Platten, 225 Kan. 764 (1979), and State v. Schur, 217 Kan. 741 (1975)]. Therefore, the following guidelines for warrantless searches or entry into private dwelling/other private places are presented to assist officers and supervisors: 1.

Introduction For over 150 years bailbondsmen have had the right to arrest their principals' whenever and wherever they chose, and to recommit them to government custody in order to avoid forfeiture of their bond.2 This right was upheld when a bailbondsman forcibly entered his principal's home in the middle of the night,3 when the bondsman pursued his principal beyond state lines4 and even when the bonds- man used physical force in the act of apprehension.5 This Note will examine the development of this extrajudicial power to make arrests, the manner in which it is handled in the 1.

Alabama Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1q11z9h8 Journal National Black Law Journal, 8(2) ISSN 0896-0194 Author Palmer, Debra D. Publication Date 1983 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-CONFESSIONS- EVIDENCE OBTAINED PURSUANT TO AN ILLEGAL ARREST IS INADMISSIBLE AT TRIAL Taylor v. Alabama' I. INTRODUCTION The fourth amendment2 commands that every individual is protected against unreasonable searches and seizures and that this right shall not be violated. The amendment also provides that no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause. This note will examine the history, development, and current status of the fourth amendment exclusionary rule. Emphasis will be placed on Taylor v. Alabama,3 which is consistent with the Supreme Court's prior decisions.' The United States Supreme Court announced, through the opinion of Justice Marshall, that evidence obtained pursuant to an illegal arrest is inad- missible at trial. The controversy in Taylor was whether petitioner's confes- sion,5 which was obtained after a warrantless arrest6 based on less than probable cause,' should have been excluded from evidence as "fruit of the illegal arrest." Prior to petitioner's arrest there had been a number of robberies in the area and the police had initiated an intensive manhunt in an effort to appre- hend the robbers. An individual, who was at the time incarcerated, told an officer that he had heard that petitioner was involved in the robbery.
