OFFICERS UPON CONTACT, WILL VERIFIEY IDENTITY THROUGH IDENTIFICATION OR IF NO ID THROUGH FINGERPRINTS. THE OFFICER WILL THEN CALL THE LOCAL AGENCY AND "CONFIRM" WITH WHATEVER AGENCY IS ISSUING THE WARRANT. ONCE CONFIRMATION IS MADE AND THE WARRANT IS VERIFIED AS GOOD THE PERSON IS PLACED UNDER ARREST AND TAKEN TO THE LOCAL JAIL OR TRANSPORTED TO THE AGENCY WITH THE WARRANT.

Being booked on the warrant is not a given as many police agencies will set a court date and release on a notrice to appear citation. This is normally the case with misdemeanor warrants.

How long does it take for the police to arrest someone for an FTA?

There is no set answer. If the FTA (Failure to Appear) warrant stems from a serious case the police are more likely to consider it a priority to find the person and serve the warrant. In lesser matters, the police are more likely to notify the person that a warrant has been issued and make arrangements for them to turn themselves in. Some departments also have dedicated warrant service officers or teams who serve warrants all the time. Other departments have to prioritize more and are less likely to spend a lot of time or resources on a minor matter.
