Section 210.10. Requirement of and methods of securing defendant's appearance for arraignment upon indictment

After an  indictment  has  been  filed  with  a  superior  court,  the
  defendant  must be arraigned thereon.  He must appear personally at such
  arraignment, and his appearance may be secured as follows:  1.   If  the
  defendant  was  previously held by a local criminal court for the action
  of the grand jury, and if he is confined in the custody of  the  sheriff
  pursuant  to  a previous court order issued in the same criminal action,
  the superior court must direct the sheriff to produce the defendant  for
  arraignment  on  a  specified date and the sheriff must comply with such
  direction.  The court must give at least two days notice of the time and
  place of the arraignment to an attorney,  if  any,  who  has  previously
  filed  a  notice  of  appearance  in  behalf  of the defendant with such
  superior court, or if no such notice of appearance has been filed, to an
  attorney, if any, who filed a notice of  appearance  in  behalf  of  the
  defendant with the local criminal court.
    2.  If a felony complaint against the defendant was pending in a local
  criminal court or if the  defendant  was  previously  held  by  a  local
  criminal court for the action of the grand jury, and if the defendant is
  at  liberty  on  his  or  her  own recognizance or on bail pursuant to a
  previous court order issued in the same criminal  action,  the  superior
  court  must,  upon  at least two days notice to the defendant and his or
  her surety, to any person other than the defendant who posted cash  bail
  and  to any attorney who would be entitled to notice under circumstances
  prescribed in subdivision one, direct the defendant to appear before the
  superior court for arraignment on a specified date.   If  the  defendant
  fails  to  appear on such date, the court may issue a bench warrant and,
  in addition, may forfeit the bail, if any.  Upon  taking  the  defendant
  into  custody  pursuant  to  such  bench  warrant,  the executing police
  officer must without unnecessary delay bring the defendant  before  such
  superior court for arraignment. If such superior court is not available,
  the  executing  police  officer  may  bring  the  defendant to the local
  correctional facility of the county in which such superior  court  sits,
  to  be  detained there until not later than the commencement of the next
  session of such court occurring on the next business day.
    3. If the defendant has not previously been held by a  local  criminal
  court  for the action of the grand jury and the filing of the indictment
  constituted the commencement of the criminal action, the superior  court
  must  order  the indictment to be filed as a sealed instrument until the
  defendant is produced or appears  for  arraignment,  and  must  issue  a
  superior  court  warrant  of  arrest.   Upon the request of the district
  attorney, in lieu of a superior court warrant of arrest, the  court  may
  issue  a  summons  if  it  is  satisfied that the defendant will respond
  thereto. Upon the request of the district attorney, in lieu of a warrant
  of arrest or summons, the  court  may  instead  authorize  the  district
  attorney  to  direct  the  defendant  to  appear  for  arraignment  on a
  designated date if it is satisfied that the defendant will so appear.  A
  superior  court  warrant  of arrest is executable anywhere in the state.
  Such warrant may be addressed to any police officer  whose  geographical
  area  of  employment embraces either the place where the offense charged
  was allegedly committed or the  locality  of  the  court  by  which  the
  warrant  is  issued.    It  must  be  executed  in the same manner as an
  ordinary warrant of arrest, as provided in section 120.80, and following
  the arrest the executing police officer must without  unnecessary  delay
  perform   all   recording,   fingerprinting,   photographing  and  other
  preliminary police duties required in the particular case, and bring the
  defendant before the superior court.  If  such  superior  court  is  not
  available,  the  executing police officer may bring the defendant to the

  local correctional facility of the county in which such  superior  court
  sits,  to be detained there until not later than the commencement of the
  next session of such court occurring on the next business day.
    4.  A  superior  court  warrant  of  arrest may be executed by (a) any
  police officer to whom it is addressed or (b) any other  police  officer
  delegated  to  execute it under circumstances prescribed in subdivisions
  five and six.
    5. The issuing court may authorize the  delegation  of  such  warrant.
  Where  the  issuing  court has so authorized, a police officer to whom a
  superior court warrant of  arrest  is  addressed  may  delegate  another
  police  officer  to  whom it is not addressed to execute such warrant as
  his agent when:
    (a) He has reasonable cause to believe that  the  defendant  is  in  a
  particular county other than the one in which the warrant is returnable;
  and
    (b)  The  geographical  area  of  employment  of  the delegated police
  officer embraces the locality where the arrest is to be made.
    6. Under circumstances  specified  in  subdivision  five,  the  police
  officer  to  whom  the  warrant  is  addressed  may inform the delegated
  officer, by telecommunication, mail or any other means, of the  issuance
  of  the  warrant,  of  the  offense charged in the underlying accusatory
  instrument and of all other pertinent  details,  and  may  request  such
  officer  to  act as his or her agent in arresting the defendant pursuant
  to such warrant. Upon such request, the delegated police officer  is  to
  the  same  extent  as  the  delegating  officer, authorized to make such
  arrest pursuant to the warrant within  the  geographical  area  of  such
  delegated  officer's employment.  Upon so arresting the defendant, he or
  she must without unnecessary delay deliver the defendant  or  cause  the
  defendant  to  be delivered to the custody of the police officer by whom
  he or she was so delegated, and the latter must then without unnecessary
  delay bring the defendant before  a  court  in  which  such  warrant  is
  returnable.  If  such court is not available, the delegating officer may
  bring the defendant to the local correctional facility of the county  in
  which  such  court  sits,  to be detained there until not later than the
  commencement of the next session of such court  occurring  on  the  next
  business day.
