officer with power of arrest to do so, by giving such officer a written
statement hereafter referred to as an agent's warrant, setting forth that the
parolee, probationer, or person under drug court or mental health court
supervision has, in the judgment of said parole or probation officer, violated
the conditions of drug court or mental health court or conditions of his
parole or probation.
    (2)  Such written statement or agent's warrant, delivered with the
parolee, probationer, or person under drug court or mental health court
supervision by the arresting officer to the official in charge of the
institution from which the parolee was released, the county jail or other
place of detention, shall be sufficient warrant for the detention of the
probationer, parolee, or person under drug court or mental health court
supervision.
    (3)  The agent's warrant issued by the parole or probation officer shall
be sufficient authorization for a local law enforcement officer to transport
the probationer, parolee, or person under drug court or mental health court
supervision to the appropriate jurisdiction to be housed pending appearance
before the sentencing court or the commission.
    (4)  The parole and probation officer shall at once notify the commission,
or the court, of the arrest and detention of the parolee, probationer, or
person under drug court or mental health court supervision, and shall submit
in writing a report showing in what manner the parolee, probationer, or person
under drug court or mental health court supervision is alleged to have
violated the condition of his or her parole, probation, or drug court or
mental health court program.
    (5)  In counties where there are misdemeanor probation officers in
addition to department of correction parole or probation officers, those
officers shall have the same authority conferred upon department of correction
parole or probation officers in this section, to arrest a misdemeanor
probationer without a warrant for misdemeanor probation violations occurring
in the officer's presence as otherwise provided in this section.
