Summary
Custody and transportation of persons subject to emergency custody or temporary detention order; alternative custody; auxiliary police officers. Allows auxiliary police officers to execute emergency custody orders and provide transportation for a person subject to an emergency custody or temporary detention order, adds an employee or designee of the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to the list of persons who may provide alternative transportation of a person who is subject to an emergency custody or temporary detention order, and provides that, in cases in which transportation of a person subject to an emergency custody order or temporary detention order is ordered to be provided by an alternative transportation provider, the primary law-enforcement agency that executes the order may transfer custody of the person to the alternative transportation provider immediately upon execution of the order, and that the alternative transportation provider shall maintain custody of the person from the time custody is transferred to the alternative transportation provider by the primary law-enforcement agency until such time as an evaluated is completed and custody of the person is transferred pursuant to a temporary detention order or the person is released upon a determination that the person does not meet the criteria for temporary detention. The bill also directs the Department of Criminal Justice Services to establish compulsory minimum training standards for auxiliary police officers who are called into service solely for the purpose of executing emergency custody orders and providing transportation for such person subject to an emergency custody order or providing transportation for a person in the temporary detention process.
