SECURITY FORCE PERSONNEL--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 1203b.104  Exercise of arrest authority--general guidelines.



    (a) In making an arrest, the security force officer should announce 

his/her authority and that the person is under arrest prior to taking 

the person into custody. If the circumstances are such that making such 

announcements would be useless or dangerous to the security force 

officer or others, the security force officer may dispense with these 

announcements.

    (b) The security force officer at the time and place of arrest may 

search the arrested person and the area immediately surrounding the 

arrested person for weapons and criminal evidence. This is to protect 

the arresting officer and to prevent the destruction of evidence.

    (c) After the arrest is effected, the arrested person shall be 

advised of his/her constitutional right against self-incrimination. If 

the circumstances are such that making such advisement is dangerous to 

the officer or others, this requirement may be postponed until the 

immediate danger has passed. However, no interrogation of the individual 

may occur until he/she has been properly advised of his/her right 

against self-incrimination.

    (d) Custody of the person arrested should be transferred to other 

Federal law enforcement personnel (e.g., United States Marshals or FBI 

agents) or to local law enforcement agency personnel, as appropriate, as 

soon as possible, in order to ensure that the person is brought before a 

magistrate without unnecessary delay.
