See 42 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 9134, 9135, 9136, and 9137. All subsequent proceedings will then be conducted by the Court of Common Pleas. See 42 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 9138 and 9139.
Rule 540.2. Arrest of Juvenile as Adult.
(A) The arrest of a juvenile for an offense required to be prosecuted as a criminal matter, by operation of 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6355(e), shall be pre-approved by the District Attorney of Chester County or a designee.
(B) A juvenile arrested for an offense required to be prosecuted as a criminal matter by 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6355(e) shall be immediately brought before the appropriate Magisterial District Judge for preliminary arraignment.
(C) The Magisterial District Judge conducting the preliminary arraignment shall:
1. In the case of an Arrest Without Warrant, pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P. 519, contact the on-call District Attorney who shall pre-approve the Commonwealth's decision to proceed pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6355(e). The Magisterial District Judge shall then make the independent analysis required under Pa.R.Crim.P. 540(D).
2. The Magisterial District Judge shall inquire of the juvenile and/or the juvenile's parents and/or interested adult whether or not private counsel will be retained for the juvenile. In the absence of an affirmative response the Magisterial District Judge shall appoint the Public Defender of Chester County to represent the juvenile at the juvenile's preliminary hearing. The Magisterial District Judge shall immediately notify the Public Defender of Chester County of said appointment by fax and in writing.
3. The Magisterial District Judge shall provide contact information for the Public Defender's Office to the juvenile and/or the juvenile's parents and/or interested adult. If the juvenile is not incarcerated, the Public Defender's Office shall be contacted, by the juvenile and/or the juvenile's parents and/or interested adult, as soon as possible, to undergo a financial qualification determination as to whether the juvenile is eligible for Public Defender's Office representation beyond the preliminary hearing. If the juvenile is incarcerated, an investigator from the Public Defender's Office will initiate contact for the purpose of determining eligibility for representation.
4. The Magisterial District Judge shall schedule the preliminary hearing pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P. 540(F). In the case of a juvenile incarcerated at Chester County Prison, the hearing may not be extended pursuant to the provisions of Pa.R.Crim.P. 540(F)(1)(a) or Pa.R.Crim.P. 542(E) except upon order of a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas.
5. The attorneys for the Commonwealth and the juvenile defendant shall be attached for said preliminary hearing, which shall have priority over any other hearing in which counsel are involved in any District Court or Court of Common Pleas.
6. If the juvenile is detained by virtue of the juvenile's inability to post bail pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P. 540(G) the juvenile shall be committed to the Chester County Prison.
7. All members of the minor judiciary are hereby granted the authority to commit a juvenile to the Chester County Prison notwithstanding the provisions of 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6303(b).
8.

(D) The preliminary hearing shall be conducted in such a manner as to afford the Court of Common Pleas a full evidentiary record such that the Court of Common Pleas can rule on a motion for Writ of Habeas Corpus that the juvenile has in fact not committed an act required to be prosecuted as a criminal matter by 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6355(e). The Magisterial District Judge shall determine on the record whether the Commonwealth has presented prima facie evidence that the matter should be prosecuted pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6355(e), taking into consideration documentary evidence and hearsay testimony, provided that the Attorney for the Commonwealth certifies that admissible evidence will be available from an identified source at the time of trial and/or sentencing. Said hearing shall be stenographically taken.
(E) In any case where a juvenile is held for the Court of Common Pleas for an offense, required to be prosecuted, as a criminal matter by operation of 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6355(e), the juvenile through counsel shall, where appropriate, include in the juvenile's omnibus Pre-Trial Motion pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P. 578 a petition for transfer from the criminal to juvenile court pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6322 and shall, where appropriate, file a Motion for Writ of Habeas Corpus, which motion shall be heard at the same time as the petition for transfer. Counsel for the juvenile shall serve a copy of the petition for transfer upon the director of the Juvenile Probation Office.
(F) A juvenile held for the Court of Common Pleas for an offense required to be prosecuted as a criminal matter by operation of 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6355(e) shall be assigned for trial purposes through the individual calendaring method to a list of judges maintained by the Court Administrator of Chester County.

(I) In the event that a juvenile is convicted of an offense required to be prosecuted as a criminal matter by operation of 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6355(e), the Juvenile Probation Department in conjunction with the Adult Probation Department shall prepare a pre-sentence investigation memorandum on an expedited basis.
Rule 540.3. Preliminary Arraignment and Bail; Local Fugitives.
When the attorney for the Commonwealth has filed an information with the Court of Common Pleas without a preliminary hearing, pursuant to C.C.R.Crim.P. 565(D), because the defendant had been declared a fugitive, the Magisterial District Judge will retain limited jurisdiction over the case for the sole purpose of conducting a preliminary arraignment and setting bail, once the defendant is located, after which the remainder of the case will be forwarded to the Clerk of Courts, for further proceedings.
Rule 543.1. Disposition of Case at Preliminary Hearing; Summary Offenses.
In order to establish uniform procedures for Magisterial District Judges when conducting preliminary hearings that involve summary offenses charged on a criminal complaint with misdemeanor and/or felony charges, the following procedure shall be followed:
(A) When a Magisterial District Judge is conducting a preliminary hearing on misdemeanor and/or felony charges the Commonwealth is not required to provide evidence to substantiate summary criminal offenses included on the criminal complaint. At the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, if the Magisterial District Judge determines the Commonwealth has established a prima facie case with respect to the misdemeanor and/or felony charges, the Magisterial District Judge should hold those charges and the summary offenses over to the Court of Common Pleas.
(B) Upon completion of the preliminary hearing, if the Magisterial District Judge determines the Commonwealth has not established a prima facie case with respect to the misdemeanor and/or felony charges, the Magisterial District Judge should ask the attorney for the Commonwealth whether the Commonwealth intends to refile the misdemeanor and/or felony charges. If the Commonwealth's response is yes, no further evidence is required and the Magisterial District Judge shall state the lack of a prima facie case ruling in open Court. If the Commonwealth's response is that the defendant will not be rearrested, the Magisterial District Judge shall allow the Commonwealth the opportunity to immediately supplement the hearing with additional evidence concerning the summary offenses, if needed, and then make a finding of guilt or innocence by proof beyond a reasonable doubt in regard to the charged summary offenses.
Rule 543.2(a). Motions Challenging Preliminary Hearing (Habeas Corpus).
All motions challenging the action of a Magisterial District Judge in finding a prima facie case shall have the substantive characteristics of a habeas corpus motion, but shall be captioned ''Commonwealth v. Defendant,'' together with the term number, if any, or the offense tracking number. Such motions need consist only of a motion and notice of hearing. A writ shall be prepared only when specifically requested by the motion, and shall be directed to such custodian as shall be named in the motion. The motion and notice shall be assigned a hearing date on the miscellaneous list by the Court Administrator, and shall be filed with the Clerk of Courts. Where an expedited hearing is requested, the assigned judge may order an accelerated listing.
Rule 543.2(b). Sharing Cost of Transcript.
In all cases where the notes of testimony from a preliminary hearing are taken and/or transcribed by a court reporter, the entire cost of the services of the court reporter and the notes of testimony shall be borne equally by all parties requesting transcripts at any time. The original of the notes of testimony shall be provided to the party who engaged the services of the reporter.
Rule 543.2(c). Providing Transcript to Court, and Opposing Party.
It shall be the duty of the party filing such motion to obtain a transcript of the record of the preliminary hearing, or relevant portion thereof, regardless of the manner in which the record was made, and make such transcript available to the Court, and the opposing party, as soon as practicable.
Rule 543.2(d). Transcripts From Tape Recordings.
If the preliminary hearing was recorded electronically, each party shall review the transcript, and, prior to the hearing, note any objections or discrepancies for the Court. The parties shall attempt to resolve any such discrepancies prior to the hearing.
Rule 543.2(e). Stipulations in Absence of Record.
Where no record of the preliminary hearing has been made, or upon motion of either party, the Court may hear testimony or consider stipulations of the parties to supplement the record from the preliminary hearing.
PART E
INFORMATIONSRule 565. Presentation of Information Without Preliminary Hearing; Fugitives.
(A) When the attorney for the Commonwealth certifies to the Court of Common Pleas that a preliminary hearing cannot be held for a defendant for good cause, the Court of Common Pleas may grant leave to the attorney for the Commonwealth to file an information with Court of Common Pleas without a preliminary hearing.
(B) When a juvenile has been transferred for prosecution as an adult, the attorney for the Commonwealth may file an information with the Court without a preliminary hearing.
(C) Nothing in this rule is intended to preclude the attorney for the Commonwealth from filing an information or from having the date for the arraignment scheduled in those cases in which the issuing authority has conducted the preliminary hearing in the defendant's absence as provided for in Pa.R.Crim.P. 543(D).
(D) Where the defendant has been declared a fugitive by the Magisterial District Judge, and a preliminary hearing cannot be held in the defendant's absence pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P. 543(D), the attorney for the Commonwealth may file an information with Court of Common Pleas without a preliminary hearing, under the following circumstances:
1. The Magisterial District Judge has declared the defendant a fugitive after a police officer or constable reports that the defendant cannot be located, and the police officer or constable completes an Affidavit of Due Diligence that the following steps have been taken to locate the defendant:
* Contact the defendant's last known address.
* Attempt to find the defendant at place of business or usual habitat.
* Contact neighbors and friends of the defendant.
* Verify that the defendant's name is on NCIC (National Crime Information Center); Pennsylvania's CLEAN (Commonwealth's Law Enforcement Assistance Network); and Chester County's WEB (Warrant Enforcement Bureau).
* Contact the post office to learn the whereabouts of the defendant.
* Contact state and county probation and parole officers.
* Contact county prison personnel.
* Make such other effort, as the serving officer deems appropriate under the circumstances of the case, such as, contacting any known telephone numbers of the defendant.
* Affidavits of Due Diligence shall also include a statement from the police officer or constable that they cannot locate the defendant, and believes the defendant to be a fugitive.
2. After a reasonable time, usually thirty (30) days after the issuance of the warrant that cannot be served, the Magisterial District Judge shall notify the arresting officer or the constable holding the warrant that they must come to the Magisterial District Judge's Office and complete the Affidavit of Due Diligence.
3. Once the Affidavit of Due Diligence has been completed and filed with the Magisterial District Judge, the Magisterial District Judge shall forward the file to the Clerk of Courts in accordance with procedures established by the Court Administrator. See C.C.R.Crim.P. 540.3 (retained jurisdiction for purpose of conducting preliminary arraignment and setting bail).
(E) The District Attorney of Chester County certifies that a preliminary hearing cannot be held for a defendant who has been declared a fugitive, pursuant to C.C.R.Crim.P. 565(D)(1), for the following good cause show:
* The defendant will be a fugitive for the foreseeable future, and may never be located.
* Decisions concerning extradition are expedited when the file is with the Court of Common Pleas.
* The extradition process is expedited when the file is with the Court of Common Pleas.
* Fugitive cases are more effectively monitored when they are centralized with the Court of Common Pleas, as this helps limit potential Pa.R.Crim.P. 600 problems, and promotes the dismissal of older fugitive cases that should be closed after a period of time.
* If the defendant is found, the defendant can petition the Court of Common Pleas for a remand for a preliminary hearing, or to have the Court of Common Pleas conduct such a hearing by way of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
(F) The Court of Common Pleas grants leave to the attorney for the Commonwealth to file an information with Court of Common Pleas without a preliminary hearing when the conditions of C.C.R.Crim.P. 565(D) are met, for the reasons set forth in C.C.R.Crim.P. 565(E).
(G) Nothing in this rule shall prevent the defendant from filing a petition for a remand to the Magisterial District Judge for the purpose of conducting a preliminary hearing, or prevent the Court of Common Pleas from conducting a preliminary hearing upon petition, except were the issuing authority has conducted the preliminary hearing in the defendant's absence as provided for in Pa.R.Crim.P. 543(D).
