Whenever an inquiry is received from another police agency within Los Angeles County, requesting the transportation of an inmate arrested on a warrant or warrant abstract originating outside the State of California, the requesting agency will be instructed to contact Sheriff’s Fugitive-Warrant Detail, who will make the transportation request via JDIC
If an inmate is delivered to a court lockup from another police agency, and there is information that the inmate is an out-of-state fugitive, the following guidelines should be followed:
- Accept the inmate, provided that you receive either a teletype warrant or a copy of the warrant abstract from the demanding state authorizing the arresting agency to hold the inmate. A local arrest warrant or remand orders is not necessary as an authorization to take custody of the inmate.
- When a fugitive inmate is accepted from any other police agency other than our own, notify the Sheriff’s Fugitive-Warrant Detail or Headquarters Detective Division and advise them of the situation. The Fugitive-Warrant Division handles fugitive warrants for all Police Departments in Los Angeles County.
