If the prisoner was arrested by another agency, the jailer shall complete a Notice to Appear (SH-CR-66).  The jailer shall sign in place of the arresting officer, clearly indicating the name of the arresting agency on the face of the form.

The citation form shall be delivered to the court Deputy, who shall ensure that the district attorney receives a copy when the complaint is sought.

Where a Notice to Appear was completed by the arresting officer, but the prisoner is found to be ineligible for release on citation, the jailer shall have the citation voided by the Watch Commander.
