New York Watch, Guard, or Patrol Agency (WGP) License Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is the name of a court order directing a police officer to take custody of the defendant and bring him before the court?

Arrest Order

Bench Warrant

A bench warrant is a court order that directs a police officer to take custody of the defendant in a case and bring them before the court. It differs from an arrest order, which may be issued by a judge or magistrate, as a bench warrant is typically issued for a defendant who has missed a court date or failed to appear for a scheduled hearing. A summons, on the other hand, is a court document used to notify a person of a legal action being taken against them and does not involve the arrest of the defendant. A custodial directive is not a correct term for this type of court order.
