7-03/010.25 Out-of State Warrants



When a request is received from another police agency within Los Angeles County requesting the transportation of a prisoner arrested on a warrant or warrant abstract originating outside the State of California, the requesting  agency will be instructed to contact the Sheriff's Fugitive-Warrant Detail which will make the transportation request via JDIC.

When a prisoner is delivered to a Transportation Bureau Deputy whether at a court, from another police agency, or from a Sheriff's station, and the prisoner is an out-of-state fugitive, accept custody of the prisoner provided that you receive either a teletype warrant or a copy of the warrant abstract from the originating state authorizing the arresting agency to hold the prisoner. A local arrest warrant or remand order is not necessary as an authorization to take custody of such prisoners.

When a fugitive prisoner is accepted from any police agency other than our own, notify the Sheriff's Fugitive-Warrant Detail during business hours at (213) 974-4411 or Sheriff's Information Bureau after hours at (213) 526-4541. Have them contact someone from the Sheriff's Fugitive-Warrant Detail and advise them of the situation.  Inmate Reception Center's Warrants and Detainer Section shall also be contacted at (213) 974-4025. The Sheriff's Fugitive-Warrant Detail handles fugitive warrants for all police agencies in Los Angeles County.
