221 - System of criminal justice information.

 
    §  221. System  of  criminal  justice  information.  1. When any peace
  officer or police agency within this state  shall  receive  a  complaint
  that  a  felony  involving  the use of deadly physical force or a deadly
  weapon has been  committed,  and  if  the  perpetrator  thereof  be  not
  apprehended   within  thirty  minutes  after  such  complaint  has  been
  received, or, in the case  of  any  other  felony,  if  the  perpetrator
  thereof  be  not apprehended within five hours, such police agency shall
  cause information of such felony to be electronically entered  into  the
  New  York  statewide  police  information network in accordance with the
  rules for such entry promulgated by the superintendent of state  police.
  Police  agencies  not  directly  connected  with  the New York statewide
  police information  network  shall  transmit  such  information  to  the
  nearest  or  most convenient electronic entry point, from which point it
  will be immediately dispatched, in conformity with the orders, rules  or
  regulations governing the network.
    2.  Any  warrant of arrest, bench warrant or superior court warrant of
  arrest, as such terms are  defined  in  section  1.20  of  the  criminal
  procedure   law,  relating  to  any  offense  defined  as  a  felony  in
  subdivision five of section 10.00 of  the  penal  law,  or  a  probation
  warrant issued pursuant to section 410.40 of the criminal procedure law,
  must be entered into the system no later than forty-eight hours from the
  time it is received by the police officer or peace officer to whom it is
  addressed  if  the subject of the warrant has not been apprehended prior
  to that time.
    3. When any police officer, peace officer  or  police  agency  in  the
  state  shall  receive  a  complaint  of  a  missing child, as defined in
  subdivision one of section eight hundred thirty-seven-e of this chapter,
  such police officer, peace officer or police agency may, in his  or  her
  discretion,  as  appropriate,  cause information concerning such missing
  child to be promptly dispatched over the  police  communication  system.
  Police  agencies  not  connected with the basic system may transmit such
  information to the nearest or most convenient  electronic  entry  point,
  from  which  point it may be promptly dispatched, in conformity with the
  orders, rules or  regulations  governing  the  system.  No  dispatch  or
  transmission of a report concerning a missing child shall be required by
  this  subdivision if the investigating police department advises, in its
  discretion, that the release of  such  information  may  jeopardize  the
  investigation  or  the  safety of the child, or requests forbearance for
  any reason.
