The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office has released a guide for international visitors to help understand state laws and city regulations amid this year’s FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n

The guide, titled<\/a>\u00a0“Understanding Law Enforcement & Arrest Procedures” warns visitors they may be arrested in case any law is violated during their stay and what to do if that occurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe criminal justice system in Texas \u2014 and in the United States as a whole \u2014 can look very different from the systems used in many other countries,” Robbie Hoy, spokesperson for the sheriff’s office told KERA News in an email.<\/p>\n

“For visitors who may be unfamiliar with how arrests, custody, and court procedures work here, the process can feel confusing or overwhelming,” Hoy said.<\/p>\n

It explains the jail intake process, court appearances, a person’s rights, types of bonds and how to pay them.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office also provides translation services both in the jail and through the sheriff\u2019s office communications channels.<\/p>\n

Arlington\u00a0is hosting nine World Cup matches<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the most of any host city.<\/p>\n

The first match took place Sunday as Japan came from behind twice to draw the Netherlands 2-2.<\/p>\n

The matches are expected to draw millions of visitors from across the world onto the region at Dallas Stadium – as AT&T Stadium will be known for the duration of the tournament.<\/p>\n
