What action should agencies take if they cannot extradite a suspect?

When an agency is unable to extradite a suspect, coding the status as "NOEX" is the appropriate action to take. This coding informs the relevant databases and law enforcement agencies that extradition is not feasible for that particular suspect. The use of such codes maintains accurate records within the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and Texas Crime Information Center (TCIC), ensuring that all law enforcement personnel are aware of the current status of the suspect.

By coding the status correctly, it prevents future confusion or unnecessary attempts to extradite the suspect, streamlining operations and enhancing communication among agencies. It is critical for agencies to provide up-to-date information to help maintain the integrity and functionality of crime databases. Such actions ultimately support law enforcement efforts in managing cases effectively.
