RESOLUTION NO. 7613
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH OPPOSING THE SERVICE OF AR-
REST AND BENCH-WARRANTS BY THE ORANGE COUNTY
MARSHAL'S OFFICE
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach
has become aware of the infringement of the Orange County Marshal's
Office into the area of law enforcement by the service of warrants;
and
WHEREAS, the service of arrest warrants affords the ar-
resting agency the opportunity to become familiar with those who
are prone to commit criminal offenses and offend the process of
the Courts and the criminal justice systems and
WHEREAS, the service of arrest warrants by police agen-
cies affords the opportunity to lawfully arrest those accused of
crimes having been committed within their respective jurisdic-
tions, allowing for the lawful seizure of evidence; and
WHEREAS, duly constituted police agencies are currently
capable of the service of arrest warrants without the gross ad-
dition of personnel; and
WHEREAS, the duplication of public service costs and
efforts should be minimally maintained; and
WHEREAS, the Orange.County Marshal's Office is ill-
equipped to properly handle the efficient service of arrest
warrants without additional personnel and sophisticated communi-
cations systems; and
WHEREAS, that through the service of arrest and bench
warrants municipalities realize a significant source of revenue,
and deprivation of these monies would seriously affect municipal
government operations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Newport Beach that the City Council opposes any attempt
-1-
by any agency of this County to assume the responsibility for
the service of arrest warrants within the jurisdictional areas
of the several cities, and takes the position that arrest war-
9 rants should be directed to the respective police agencies and
that bench warrants should be directed to the policy agency
having jurisdiction of the area of the arrestee's residence, or
known place of presence.
