What does 27.14 require regarding arrestees, and where must this be reported?

• A. The warnings must be given, and they must be reported on the monthly OCA report.
• B. Warnings are optional and do not need reporting.
• C. Only the arresting officer’s notes are required.
• D. Warnings must be published in a local newspaper.

Answer: (A)

27.14 requires giving arrestees the mandated warnings and then recording those warnings in the official records sent to the Office of Court Administration. The emphasis is on both informing the arrestee and ensuring accountability by documenting the warnings on the monthly OCA report. This isn’t optional, it isn’t limited to the arresting officer’s private notes, and it isn’t something that would be published in a newspaper. The monthly OCA report is the formal channel for reporting these warnings.
