Arrest Block fields on the citation must be completed under which condition?

• A. A physical arrest is made
• B. A warning is issued
• C. No arrest occurs
• D. Only a citation is issued without arrest

Answer: (A)

Arrest Block fields exist to document the custody event. They must be completed when a physical arrest is made because that is the moment the agency records the arrest details—time, location, charges, booking information, and the officer or department taking custody. This creates an accurate, enforceable record for court and administrative purposes. If a warning is issued or no arrest occurs, there’s no custody event to record, so those Arrest Block fields aren’t filled.
