§ 120.60 Warrant of arrest; what police officers may execute.

1. A warrant of arrest may be executed by (a) any police officer to
whom it is addressed, or (b) any other police officer delegated to
execute it under circumstances prescribed in subdivisions two and three.

2. A police officer to whom a warrant of arrest is addressed may
delegate another officer to whom it is not addressed to execute such
warrant as his agent when:

(a) He has reasonable cause to believe that the defendant is in a
particular county other than the one in which the warrant is returnable;
and

(b) The warrant is, pursuant to section 120.70, executable in such
other county without endorsement by a local criminal court thereof; and

(c) The geographical area of employment of the delegated police
officer embraces the locality where the arrest is to be made.

3. Under circumstances specified in subdivision two, the police
officer to whom the warrant is addressed may inform the delegated
officer, by telecommunication, mail or any other means, of the issuance
of the warrant, of the offense charged in the underlying accusatory
instrument and of all other pertinent details, and may request him to
act as his agent in arresting the defendant pursuant to such warrant.
Upon such request, the delegated police officer is to the same extent as
the delegating officer, authorized to make such arrest pursuant to the
warrant within the geographical area of such delegated officer's
employment. Upon so arresting the defendant, he must proceed as
provided in subdivisions two and four of section 120.90.
