Response Time from Law Enforcement

Response Time from Law Enforcement. A. MDHS must give the law enforcement agency 20 days to respond to a request for information about a felony warrant or a probation or parole violation and whether such agency intends to actively pursue the person. B. If the law enforcement agency does not indicate its intent to actively pursue the felony warrant or arrest the individual for the probation or parole violation within 30 days of MDHS’ request for information about the warrant, then MDHS will conclude that such individual is not a fleeing felon or a probation or parole violator. C. If the law enforcement agency indicates its intent to actively pursue the felony warrant or arrest the individual for the probation or parole violation within 30 days of MDHS’s request for information, then MDHS will delay taking action on the case until the 30-day period has expired. D. Once the 30-day period has expired, MDHS must verify with the law enforcement agency whether it has attempted to execute the felony warrant or arrest the probation or parole violator. If so, MDHS must deny an applicant or terminate a participant. If the law enforcement agency has not taken any action within 30 days, then MDHS will conclude that such individual is not a fleeing felon or a probation or parole violator.
