Do warrant reimbursement fees apply to arrests made by agencies other than those that issued the warrant?

Warrant reimbursement fees can indeed apply to arrests made by agencies other than those that issued the warrant. This reflects the broader framework of law enforcement cooperation where multiple agencies are involved in the arrest process.

When a warrant is issued, it is typically recognized across jurisdictions, allowing any law enforcement agency to execute that warrant regardless of its origin. Therefore, if an arrest occurs, the agency that executed the warrant can seek reimbursement for costs incurred during the arrest, such as transportation and processing of the arrestee. This practice helps to ensure that agencies are not financially burdened when fulfilling their duty to enforce the law, especially in cases where they might be acting on information received from another jurisdiction.

In contrast, reimbursement linked solely to the issuing agency or restricted to specific types of warrants doesn't reflect the collaborative nature of law enforcement. Moreover, while state law can dictate the exact procedures and rules regarding reimbursement, the fundamental principle of inter-agency cooperation remains applicable across many jurisdictions.
