Furnishing the Criminal Investigation Service Command National Capital Region Copies of Warrants of Arrest

October 2, 1995

SUPREME COURT CIRCULAR NO. 047-95

 

Quoted hereunder is a request dated July 5, 1995 of the Criminal Investigation Service Command, National Capital Regional Office, Camp Crame, Quezon City: TESICD

"The Criminal Investigation Command is currently building a database on all warrants of arrests issued by the Courts nationwide. This will facilitate our efforts to track down persons with standing warrants of arrests for their eventual apprehension.

In what appeared to be an earlier arrangement, all Courts in the National Capital Region are furnishing the Command copies of warrants of arrests for implementation, which we also process for our database build-up. Unfortunately, no similar arrangement is existing for other Regions outside of Metro Manila.

At this time, our Warrant and Alarm Branch is capable of processing all warrants or Orders of Arrest issued by the Courts nationwide, for the purpose of our database build-up, and consequently, for implementation by our field offices and PNP territorial forces.

May we therefore request your Honor to give mandate to all inferior Courts throughout the Philippines to furnish the PNP Criminal Investigation Command, copies of all warrants and/or order of arrests issued by them, under a similar arrangement existing in Metro Manila area.

The said warrants or Orders of Arrest may be addressed to:

The Director

All concerned are hereby directed to furnish copies of warrants of arrest issued by the Courts in your stations to the authorized liaison officers of the Criminal Investigation Service Command. cCaEDA
