- Arrests
- The Minister of Regional Security, the Deputy Minister of Regional Security, agents of the Ministry of Regional Security, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, the Minister of Justice and the Deputy Minister of Justice will all be empowered to make arrests.
- An officer empowered to make an arrest may arrest an individual they directly observe committing a criminal act. If an individual is not directly observed committing a criminal act but are suspected of doing so, a warrant for the arrest of the individual must first be obtained.
- Any officer empowered to make an arrest may submit a request for such a warrant to the Chief Justice of the Court. Such a request will be submitted with evidence which implicates the criminal behavior of the individual to be arrested.
- The Chief Justice may grant or refuse such a request for a warrant based on their opinion of the validity of the evidence presented. If the Chief Justice does not respond to a request within a week's time of when it was made, the warrant will be considered granted.
- When an arrest is made, the arresting officer must alert both the Ministry of Justice and Court, and issue a public statement of the arrest.
- A single warrant will only authorize the arrest of a single individual. A warrant will become void once the individual has been arrested or a week passes since it was granted.
