§ 762.84 - Citation in place of arrest.

In any case in which a security patrolman, shore patrolman, or other duly designated peace officer may make an arrest without a warrant, he may, under such limitations as the Officer-in-Charge may impose, issue and serve a citation, or serve a citation issued by the Officer-in-Charge, on a person in place of arresting him if the officer considers that the public interest does not require an arrest. The citation must briefly describe the offense charged and direct the accused to appear before the Midway Islands Court at a designated time and place.
