Rule 212 Duplicate and Alias Warrants of Arrest
Chapter 2: Commencement of Proceedings, Arrest Procedures, Written Allegation, and Pre-adjudicatory Detention
Rule Text
A. Duplicates. When a warrant of arrest has been issued and it appears necessary or desirable to issue duplicates for execution, the issuing authority may issue any number of duplicates. Each duplicate shall have the same force and effect as the original. Costs may be assessed only for one such warrant and only one service fee may be charged.
B. Alias. After service and execution of an original or duplicate warrant, an alias warrant may be issued if the purpose for which the original or duplicate has been issued has not been accomplished.
