RESOLUTION NUMBER ~()bS-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH OPPOSING THE SERVICE OF ARREST AND
BENCH WARRANTS BY THE ORANGE COUNTY MARSHAL I S
OFFICE.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Seal 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 arresting
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 system: and
WHEREAS, the service of arrest warrants by police agencies affords
the opportunity to lawfully arrest those accused of crimes having
been committed within their respective jurisdictions, allowing for
the lawful seizure of evidence: and
WHEREAS, duly constituted police agencies are currently capable of
the service of arrest warrants without the addition of personnel:
and:
WHEREAS, the duplication of public service costs and efforts should
be minimally maintained: and
WHEREAS, that through the service of arrest and bench warrants
municipalities realize a significant source of revenue, and depriva-
tion of these monies would seriously affect municipal government
operations: and
WHEREAS, the city receives 80 per cent of the tr.affic fines which
originate in the city: and
WHEREAS, the city would receive nothing if violators fail to appear
in court and the arrest warrants were served by the Marshal's Office:
and
WHEREAS, the city has 860 outstanding warrants, including felony
warrants:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City council of the city of
Seal Beach that this city opposes any attempt by any agency of
Orange 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 warrants should be directed to the
respective police agencies, and that bench warrants should be directed
to the police agency having jurisdiction of the area of the arrestee's
residence, or known place of presence.
