(a) Any member of the Police Department may make a complaint that an offense has been committed. It will then be the function of the Judge of the Municipal Court to issue a warrant, if proper under the law.
(b) Proceedings before the Municipal Court Judge are conducted by warrant of arrest in the name of the City or by summons, except in the event of contempt of court, or when an offense for which the Municipal Court Judge has jurisdiction is committed in the presence of said judge or a City police officer. In this event, either the judge or the officer may apprehend or cause the offender to be apprehended.
(c) When a person arrested without a warrant is brought before the Municipal Court Judge, a complaint shall be filed or sworn, a warrant issued and executed, and the same warrant shall be returned to the Municipal Court Judge no later than the commencement of hearing.
