2. Judicial Criminal Arrest Warrant A Judicial Criminal Arrest Warrant is a legal order issued by a court that directs all sworn law enforcement officers to deliver a specific individual by means of arrest before the appropriate court. Police Officers have no discretion in deciding whether to arrest said individual and must take the named person into custody on a validly issued Judicial Criminal Arrest Warrant. 7-19-6c GENERAL MATTERS Additionally, unless a victim, potential witness or person receiving police assistance has been arrested for an indictable offense or for driving while intoxicated, no officer shall inquire or about and/or investigate the immigration status of any victim, witness or potential witness unless the County Prosecutor or Director of Criminal Justice determines otherwise in writing, or such inquiry is legally required. No individual under any circumstances shall ever be questioned about their immigration status by any member of the West Orange Police Department unless they have been lawfully placed under arrest for DWI, an indictable offense or otherwise required by law or upon being directed to do so by an attorney of the NJ Attorney General or Essex County Prosecutor’s Office. No member of the West Orange Police Dept. shall consider a person’s race, ethnicity or speech pattern as a factor in drawing any inference or conclusion that the person may be an undocumented immigrant. All personnel shall abide by the procedures and standards set forth in Directive 1:9 Profiling & Discriminatory Practices. In order to show respect for all individuals during encounters, WOPD personnel shall accept municipal IDs, foreign IDs/passports and other forms of valid identification without subjecting the carrier to additional scrutiny whenever plausible. This shall not seek to

This shall not seek to circumvent the traditional investigatory steps while investigating any offense committed. However, officers should not take the fact that an individual only has one of these identifications as the sole basis for a stop or for furthering the encounter. This does not pertain to investigating unlicensed drivers. The West Orange Police Department shall provide the appropriate level of assistance to federal authorities for Immigration Law Enforcement, only when requested or for a non-immigration enforcement public safety emergency. The Chief of Police or Chief’s designee must be notified as soon as reasonably practical any time the assistance of ICE has been requested for any reason whatsoever and barring an emergent situation prior to rendering any such assistance. 7:19-6 IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT June 13, 2017 Page 3 of 3
