In order for an arrest to be lawful: 1) Identify himself or herself as a police officer. 2) Advise that he or she is under arrest 3) Inform the accused promptly of the charge and show the arrest warrant if one has been obtained. 4) Touch the accused to indicate that he or she is in legal custody. In certain circumstances, instead of arresting the suspect, the police will "detain" the person; thus involving stopping someone and asking the individual to answer a few questions. Depriving one of there liberty with or without physical restraint. Reasonable grounds: Information that would lead a reasonable person to conclude that the suspect had committed a criminal offense.
-police have 3 methods of apprehending an offender. They can make an appearance notice, arrest the suspect with a warrant, or arrest the suspect without a warrant

Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA, is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints, like a recipe or a code, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells. The DNA segments that carry this genetic information are called genes, but other DNA sequences have structural purposes.Forensic scientists can use DNA in blood, semen, skin, saliva or hair found at a crime scene to identify a matching DNA of an individual, such as a perpetrator. This process is formally termed DNA profiling, but may also be called "genetic fingerprinting" This method is usually an extremely reliable technique for identifying a matching DNA. However, identification can be complicated if the scene is contaminated with DNA from several people. DNA profiling was developed in 1984. People convicted of certain types of crimes may be required to provide a sample of DNA for a database. This has helped investigators solve old cases where only a DNA sample was obtained from the scene. DNA profiling can also be used to identify victims of mass casualty incidents. On the other hand, many convicted people have been released from prison on the basis of DNA techniques, which were not available when a crime had originally been committed.
