Said supervisor shall request to be fully briefed on the circumstances of the warrant and the evidence to support the warrant **BEFORE** the warrant is issued. Every warrant will include a brief description of the circumstances that justify the issuance of the warrant. In the event that the warrant is issued as a result of an investigation that requires questioning of the suspect (such as those issued by the Court), the warrant shall be titled as “Investigational” and shall only be served while that investigator (or a Detective fully briefed on the case) is online and available to handle the investigation. Should the circumstances regarding an investigational warrant be unknown, that warrant shall be nullified and removed from said suspect’s record. Shall a Supervisor be unavailable a warrant may be carried through, however supervisorial consultation is highly recommended. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://www.blainecountysheriffoffice.org/sop/section-5-department-procedure/5.14-warrants.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
