Article 64 of Code of Criminal Procedure and Trials

English translation

If an arrest warrant is addressed to police officers without specifying any of them, any one of them may execute it. If the warrant assigns its execution to a particular police officer, he shall execute it himself and may not assign another to do so except in necessity and by a written transfer at the foot of the warrant signed by him. In cases of necessity or urgency, the issuer may assign execution of the arrest warrant to a serving employee other than a police officer or to an individual, and that person may not transfer the warrant to another under any circumstances. If an arrest warrant is addressed to several specified persons, all, some or one of them may execute it.
Arabic original
إذا وجه امر القبض الى رجال الشرطة دون تعيين، فلكل واحد منهم ان يقوم بتنفيذه. وإذا نص في الأمر على تكليف شرطي معين بتنفيذه فعليه ان ينفذه بنفسه، وليس له ان يكلف غيره بذلك الا عند الضرورة وبتحويل مكتوب في ذيل الأمر وموقع عليه منه . ويجوز للأمر، في احوال الضرورة او الاستعجال ان يكلف بتنفيذ امر القبض أحد الموظفين العاملين من غير رجال الشرطة او أحد الافراد، ولا يجوز لهذا الشخص ان يحول الأمر على غيره بحال من الاحوال. وإذا وجه امر القبض الى اشخاص معينين متعددين، جاز للجميع او لبعضهم او لأحدهم تنفيذه.
