In addition, a search warrant is to be obtained before entry to third party premises for the purpose of arrest, in the absence of consent or exigent circumstances. SACs may authorize Agents to execute arrest warrants. In extraordinary circumstances, prior FBIHQ authorization should be obtained. For example, where the arrest may have a significant impact on an investigation in another field office, or where the arrest is likely to cause wide publicity due to the identity or status of the arrestee, FBIHQ should be notified and prior approval obtained before arrest. **EFEDte: 11/10/1988 MCRT#: 0 Div: D9 Cav: SecCls: 3-3.2 Prompt Execution While there is no time limit on the execution of arrest warrants (unlike search warrants), as a general rule, the arrest should be made without prolonged delay. *KEfEDte: 11/10/1988 MCRT#: 0 Div: D9 Cav: SecCls: 3-3.3 Joint Arrests (See MIOG, Part 2, 11-2.1.2(2).)
