I have been a deputy for 5 days, and as taught in POST, a citation/arrest can cost you your career. Now, many people don’t worry about this since they are “good”, “responsible” cops. But just using it I realize that you can sometimes click submit by accident. it never happens to me but it could and to any LEO. Experienced or a rookie. A mistake that makes you submit the citation/arrest will be a mistake that will be remembered, you can’t undo it. So, please add a warning after clicking submit, that will say “Do you really want to confirm?” then you can decline,etc.

Good idea. I know of a few people who have accidentally clicked the submit button and had only filled the first two sections of the lovid with the others being empty.

Something like a Verbal and Written Warning.
Written can appear first on the citation list.
Verbal can appear on the Database like (Verbal Warning Given for “Reason”)

He doesnt mean warnings like that. He means that it says “Are you sure you want to cite/arrest this person?”

He’s not talking about written/verbal warnings. He’s talking about a warning that would pop up after you click submit on the arrest/citation tool to make sure you don’t click it by accident.

I am not talking about the present, but the future. It could happen. Who knows when.
