agree  Alexandra Reimao: Eu retirava o "a todas as unidades". Normalmente constaria da frase. An All Points Bulletin (APB) is a broadcast issued from one law enforcement agency to another. It typically contains information about a wanted suspect who is to be arrested or a person

  -> a minha ideia é de q não é a só a outras forças policiais, mas primeiro a todas as unidades da própria entidade q o emite, motivo pelo qual inclui o "a todas as unidades" mas percebo a ressalva. david

disagree  Carlos Quandt: quem expede um mandado de busca é o juiz; no caso do APB a polícia notifica as diversas unidades para apreender os suspeitos.
