ne pees ae Re MD tiki OE A SENSITIVE Man1-ID: LHBSAP1 LEGAL HANDBOOK FOR SPECIAL AGENTS PART 1 eee FBI Agents are authorized to serve all arrest warrants issued in cases over which the FBI has investigative jurisdiction. |The|Special Agent in Charge (SAC) may authorize joint arrests with state and local authorities, U.S. Marshals, or other federal law enforcement agencies. Special concern should be given to the utilization, or at least the alerting, of local authorities in instances where it may logically be anticipsted that resistance could be forthcoming from the subject (s) or members of the community. Although the time of notification to local authorities concerning arrests made within their jurisdiction by FBI Agents is left to the discretion of the SACs, concern must be given to the sensitivity of local law enforcement agencies to know what is transpiring in their jurisdictions. The FBI must respect their responsibility to the people of their communities. *kEFEDte: 07/26/1999 MCRT#: 915 Divs D9 Cav: SecCls: 3-3.4 Possession and Display of Warrant (See MIOG, Part II, 11-2.1.2(3).)
