Who may request that a person be returned to the state where they committed a crime?
Technically, this request is made by the governor of the state where the crime occurred. The request is usually a formality that does not personally involve the governor. The law enforcement agency or prosecutor's office having jurisdiction over the crime decides if they want to go to the expense necessary to bring the accused party back to be tried for the crime. This process is called extradition. In order for the officers of State A to go to State B to retrieve an accused person, the governor of State A must ask the governor of State B to allow State A's officers to enter State B and take the accused into custody. If the governor of State B refuses this permission (this rarely happens), State A's officers have to wait for him to change his mind or for their suspect to leave State B.

Do people in P.B.A have same power as police officers?
A PBA (Police Benevolent Association) is similar to a union or "bargaining unit." PBA representatives often negotiate labor contracts, advise and protect the rights of officers accused of misconduct, and assist the families of officers who are killed or injured in the line of duty. Membership in the PBA is restricted to law enforcement officers. Most PBA union-representatives are police officers themselves who either volunteer their time or who are allowed to devote a proportion of their paid time on duty to PBA affairs. PBAs may hirecivilian employees who have no police powers, but their duties are usually clerical or administrative. A few may be attorneys, but they are not usually police officers.
