(A) The Tribal Court shall update the registry to reflect the sex offender has absconded or is otherwise not capable of being located,
(B) The Police Department shall seek a warrant for the sex offender's arrest, and in the case of a non-Indian, or an Indian federal or state sex offender, the U.S. Marshals Service or FBI shall be contacted in an attempt to obtain a federal warrant for the sex offender's arrest,
