What is one of the requirements for a valid warrant of arrest according to the CCP?

A valid warrant of arrest, according to the Code of Criminal Procedure, must state the name of the accused or provide a sufficiently detailed description of them. This requirement ensures that the warrant is specific enough to avoid confusion and to ensure that the correct person is targeted for arrest. By providing the name or an accurate description, it helps law enforcement officers identify the individual who is sought, and it helps protect the rights of individuals by preventing mistaken identity situations.

Other options are not aligned with the legal requirements for a valid arrest warrant. For instance, a warrant does not need to be verbally communicated to the officer for it to be valid; it must be documented properly. Additionally, the inclusion of a detailed criminal history is not a requisite element for the warrant itself and is often irrelevant to the arrest process. Approval by the police department is also not a requirement, as the warrant is typically issued by a judge or magistrate rather than needing departmental endorsement.
