Booking and investigative subpoena instructions
Use fictional scenario information supplied by your instructor. These forms are classroom exercises based on the instructor’s Neosho references. Select either section in the RMS sidebar after starting or reopening a report.
Booking report
- Select the person from People, or enter the identity in Booking for a standalone exercise. In an Arrest Report, you can choose to link the arrestee, arrest time, arresting officer, and booking number. Editing the source record updates the booking form.
- Enter the agency, county, processing officer, and booking date and time. Newton is suggested; change the jurisdiction for your assignment. Use fictional identifiers.
- Link each booking charge from Offenses or type the charge directly, including the RSMo section and classification. Enter PC status, warrant number, bond terms, and cash-only status from the assigned booking record. The website does not determine probable cause or set bond.
- Record fingerprint and photograph status, identifying marks, and remarks. A booking report does not replace the arrest narrative, PC affidavit, or a court’s release decision.
The PDF retains the reference’s identity fields and five-column charge table. Long entries and additional charges continue on labeled pages so information is not lost.
Investigative subpoena
Under RSMo 56.085, a prosecuting or circuit attorney may request that a circuit or associate circuit judge issue a subpoena during a criminal investigation. The statute addresses examination under oath and production of evidentiary materials at the requesting prosecutor’s office. An officer’s draft is not a court order.
- Enter the issuing court, county, recipient, address, and investigation reference. A recipient can be linked from People. For a company or records custodian, enter its assigned fictional information directly.
- Select whether the exercise calls for document production, an appearance under oath, or both. Identify the records precisely, including relevant identifiers and a date range. For an oral examination, identify its subject. Explain the relevance to the investigation in your assigned narrative or instructor discussion.
- Enter the assigned deadline and prosecutor’s office contact and address. The source example’s “ten working days” is an example term, not a deadline specified in §56.085. The example’s sheriff’s-office return contact has been replaced with editable prosecutor-office fields to follow the statute’s stated location.
- Complete the simulated prosecutor request and, when assigned, the simulated judicial issuance. Mark the appropriate checkboxes. Abraham Lincoln and John Marshall are fictional classroom officials; their typed signatures appear only for the steps marked complete. Custom names and signatures are allowed.
The form follows the supplied document’s title, recipient block, command, requested records, return contact, and signature sequence. Court identification and a simulation notice have been added. It is a training adaptation, not a universal approved Missouri court form.
RSMo 491.100 separately addresses subpoena form and judicial relief from unreasonable or oppressive document demands. Follow the instructor’s assigned procedure and applicable court requirements. A subpoena does not authorize a search or entry; particular records may require additional legal process. Do not send this exercise to a real recipient.
Saving and printing

Individual PDF and blank fillable handout buttons are also available. Use the website to write long answers so continuation pages can be generated before download.
