If a person happened upon a murder crime scene, called 911, and stayed until the police arrived. Would an officer take that persons statement at the crime scene or bring them back to the station and take the statement there?

Thanks in advance.

At the scene.

If the caller was believed to have more involvement than just stumbling into a crime scene, investigators might want to interview the person at the PD so the statement can be recorded on video. However, unless the person is under arrest, transporting the subject to the PD must be voluntary. If the subject does not want to go, officers would have to collect the statement on scene.

Your information and the details of the contact are probably stored in the local department's database. If they are networked with other agencies, they all departments in that network would have access to the information as well.

If you were not charged with a crime, then the information would not be in a national criminal database.

I'm not sure if there is a question in there. However, you have not described anything criminal. Law enforcement does not investigate civil issues.

When cops do prostitution stings, are the arrests always made on the spot? How likely are police to make arrests if the act isn't witnessed in a sting type operation? Been watching a lot of dateline predator stories and the topic never comes up.

Asked by notacop about 12 years ago

Police officers are not required to arrest someone at the time of the crime. People can be arrested after the crime has been committed.
