If the person is determined to be a parolee under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections, and the magistrate issues a warrant for the arrest of that person, the investigating law enforcement agency or, if the court is entering arrest warrants into the law enforcement information network and the investigating law enforcement agency informs the court that the person is a parolee, the court shall promptly give to the department of corrections, by telephonic or electronic means, notice of all of the following:
(a) The identity of the person named in the warrant.

(c) The charge or charges stated in the warrant.
(2) If the court has assumed the responsibility for entering arrest warrants into the law enforcement information network and delays issuance or entry of a warrant pending a court appearance by the person named in the warrant, the law enforcement agency submitting the sworn complaint to the court shall promptly give to the department of corrections, by telephonic or electronic means, notice of the following:
(a) The identity of the person named in the sworn complaint.
(b) The fact that a prosecuting attorney has authorized issuance of a warrant.
(c) The fact that information in databases managed by the department of corrections and accessible by the law enforcement information network provides reason to believe the person named in the sworn complaint is a parolee under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections.
(d) The charge or charges stated in the sworn complaint.
(e) Whether, pending a court appearance by the person named in the sworn complaint, the court has either issued the arrest warrant but delayed entry of the warrant into the law enforcement information network or has delayed issuance of the warrant.
(3) The requirement to give notice to the department of corrections under subsection (1) or (2) is complied with if the notice is transmitted to any of the following:
