Learn More About Phoenix Arrest

A Phoenix arrest is the responsibility of the Phoenix Police Department. The police officers can arrest an individual from the alleged crime scene. Otherwise the arrest follows a particular procedure. The procedure used to conduct a Phoenix arrest is similar to the ones carried out in other parts of the state and is outlined in the Arizona Constitution and the laws of the state. The first step involves the issuance of a warrant against the individual(s) who have committed the alleged crime. This is done by the judicial units which have jurisdiction over the city, including the federal, state, county and city courts. A warrant may also be issued by the grand jury after it has done an investigation and thinks that the individual(s) is the one who has committed the crime.

After the issuance of an arrest warrant the law enforcement agency starts operating. Executing the warrant and arresting and detaining the individual against whom the warrant has been issued are the duties of the Phoenix Police Department. Along with this it also offers community services to the city of Phoenix, Arizona. Initially the Phoenix law enforcement was handled by the city marshals. Later the Phoenix Police Department came into being in 1881, with the incorporation of the city of Phoenix in the state of Arizona. The responsibility of the law enforcement was thus given over to the police officers working in Phoenix. Over the years, the Phoenix Police Department has improved in terms of both the procedural and the technological levels.
