What is the purpose of the Notice of Arrest Form?

The Notice of Arrest Form, specifically the DCS-111, serves an important function in the law enforcement process. This form is used to document the arrest of an individual and provides essential information regarding the circumstances surrounding that arrest. It includes details such as the identity of the arrestee, the offense charged, the time and place of the arrest, and any pertinent information regarding the arresting officer.

The primary purpose of this form is to ensure that there is a clear and legally recognized record of the arrest, which can be vital for various subsequent legal proceedings, such as court appearances or investigations. By having consistent and comprehensive documentation, law enforcement can maintain accountability and transparency in their operations, which is crucial for upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of individuals involved in the criminal justice system.

In this context, the other forms listed do not fulfill the specific role of documenting an arrest in the same comprehensive manner, as they are associated with different processes or requirements within the Department of Corrections or law enforcement agencies.
