Police Academy Exit Practice Test

Which statement describes when full custody arrests apply?

They Require a Warrant They Apply Only to Felonies They Are Allowed Only When There Is a Single Offender Full Custody Arrests May Apply to Offenses Like DUI, Reckless Driving, Pursuits, and Similar Offenses

Correct Answer:

Full Custody Arrests May Apply to Offenses Like DUI, Reckless Driving, Pursuits, and Similar Offenses

Explanation:

Full custody arrests are allowed when an officer has probable cause to believe a crime has been committed and the situation warrants immediate action, especially in road-related scenarios. This approach fits offenses like DUI, reckless driving, and pursuits because these situations pose immediate risk to public safety and require quick intervention, so the officer can take custody without waiting for a warrant. It’s not limited to felonies or to a single offender, and a warrant isn’t always necessary for these arrests.
