What Would You Do?
You are the sergeant on duty when Donrae brings the boys into the station. The evening tour this Tuesday had been filled with a higher-than-average number of accidents, home invasions, and domestic disputes, and when they arrived, you were busy with making sure your staff handled each incident according to legal guidelines. Donrae explained what he had witnessed and that he'd made a citizen's arrest for the purpose of keeping drugs out of his neighborhood. You know Donrae's history and that he has served your precinct for the last six months diligently. However, you also know that, as a CSO, he does not have the power to arrest, nor can a citizen's arrest be made on a felony. You are tempted to just release the boys and discuss the limits of power for his position with Donrae.
Alternatively, you know that Donrae made a decision based on the skills he's learning as a CSO, as well as those he gained from his background. You know that another way to handle this is to talk to the boys and delve more deeply into the situation to see whether Donrae's instincts were correct, and then figure out how to support the arrest if it is needed.
