Which statement describes extraditable warrant handling?

• A. Request that the agency send you a hit for the warrant
• B. Ignore extraditable status
• C. Directly arrest without contacting the agency
• D. Use a different jurisdiction

Answer: (A)

Extraditable warrant handling centers on using proper channels to verify and enforce a warrant that crosses jurisdictions. The best approach is to request that the agency send you a hit for the warrant. This means you check with the relevant agency or database to confirm whether the warrant exists, its status, and any extradition requirements, so you can proceed lawfully with coordination and authorization. This preserves accuracy, jurisdiction, and due process. Ignoring extraditable status, arresting directly without the issuing agency, or using a different jurisdiction to bypass procedures all bypass established protocols and can lead to legal problems, invalid arrests, or diplomatic or jurisdictional complications. The first step—having the agency perform or confirm a hit—ensures you’re acting within the proper framework.
