Article 530 - Orders of Recognizance or Bail With Respect to Defendants in Criminal Actions and Proceedings--When and by What Courts Authorized
530.70 - Order of Recognizance or Bail; Bench Warrant.

(a) He or she 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 geographical area of employment of the delegated police
officer embraces the locality where the arrest is to be made.
5. Under circumstances specified in subdivision four, the police
officer to whom the bench 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 or
her to act as his or her agent in arresting the defendant pursuant to

such bench 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 bench warrant within the geographical area of
such delegated officer's employment. Upon so arresting the defendant, he
or she must without unnecessary delay deliver the defendant or cause him
or her to be delivered to the custody of the police officer by whom he
or she was so delegated, and the latter must then without unnecessary
delay bring the defendant before the court in which such bench warrant
is returnable.
6. A bench warrant may be executed by an officer of the state
department of corrections and community supervision or a probation
officer when the person named within the warrant is under the
supervision of the department of corrections and community supervision
or a department of probation and the probation officer is authorized by
his or her probation director, as the case may be. The warrant must be
executed upon the same conditions and in the same manner as is otherwise
provided for execution by a police officer.
