I have never heard of a requirement for two officer being present to collect you on a warrant. I have also never heard of two officer required to be present to serve a subpoena. Two officers are often times present for safety reasons as many of the responses indicate. Routine traffic stops many times turn up a driver with an outstanding warrant. Most of the time you inform the driver of the warrant and place them under arrest and put them into your patrol vehicle. Many times another unit will start heading that direction if they hear that there was a warrant hit on a driver. If the warrant is for a violent crime or a felony many times you will call for a second officer to assist for safety reasons. Most units are one person vehicles unless it is night time. Departments may have a written policy on warrant arrests and officers required. Mine did not.

It varies based on each departments protocol. Most times serving a warrant will be a 2 man job for safety reasons.

it could variety from state to state. they are able to no longer require you to show identity because of the fact there is not any regulation requiring you to have identity or to hold it with you in any respect circumstances, yet some states do require which you discover your self to regulation enforcement officers. Even in states the place it is no longer legally required, it is a bad thought to no longer discover your self. Failing to discover your self ought to offer them probably reason to detain you for as much as seventy two hours whilst they run your fingerprints and examine to verify while you're needed for something.

Depends on where you live. Most places send two to ensure the safety of the officer and to witness the arrest.

It is not required, but many departments do it for the safety of the officers and bystanders.

There CAN be only one, although it is usally good to have a seocnd for backup and also as a witness of papers served.

That would depend on the individual department policy.

I'm pretty sure there has to be two. One to witness. I know that there have to be 2 to issue a subpoena.
