Citizen's Self-Arrest Form
If you witness a crime, it is your civic duty to report the crime to the police. When a crime is committed, you have the right and responsibility to make a citizen's arrest. If you commit a crime, it would be extremely helpful (and provide a savings of tax dollars) for you to perform a Citizen's Self-Arrest.
