4. An arrested person must be turned over to a ______________.

Explanation

When a person is arrested, they must be turned over to a magistrate via a peace officer. A magistrate is a judicial officer who has the authority to make legal decisions, including determining whether there is enough evidence to hold the arrested person. The peace officer is responsible for ensuring that the arrested person is safely transported to the magistrate for the necessary legal proceedings to take place. This process ensures that the arrest is reviewed by a legal authority and prevents arbitrary detention.

5. Once detained, a person cannot be unarrested.

Explanation

Once a person is detained, they are under the custody and control of law enforcement. While it is possible for a person to be released from detention, they cannot be "unarrested" in the sense of completely erasing the fact that they were arrested. Detention involves the temporary deprivation of a person's freedom, and even if they are later released, the fact that they were arrested will still remain on record. Therefore, the statement that "once detained, a person cannot be unarrested" is true.

These individuals are responsible for overseeing the organization and ensuring that policies and procedures are followed.
