    Study Notes

    Purpose & Policy

    • Ensure alternate care is provided for children or dependents of an arrestee.
    • The agency allows arrestees a reasonable opportunity to make arrangements for care.
    • If the arrestee cannot arrange care, the agency will inform appropriate agencies of the need for support.
    • The agency will not take direct responsibility for providing care to dependents.
    • Dependents should not influence the decision of whether the arrestee is held or released.

    Procedure for Arrestees with Dependents

    • When taken into custody with a dependent:
      • If another adult is present, the arrestee may place the dependent in their care.
      • If no adult is available, the dependent will be transported to headquarters, either with the arrestee or separately based on circumstances, following department policy.
    • Arrestees should have a reasonable opportunity to make phone arrangements; if unable, an officer will assist in notifications.
    • If arrangements are unfeasible, the supervising officer must notify an appropriate agency about the arrest and the need for alternate care.
    • Records must be created, including:
      • Name of the person or agency taking charge of the dependent.
      • Contact information for the agency’s representative.
      • Details on how the arrestee can regain custody post-release.
    • Shift supervisors or arresting officers will promptly contact a judge regarding bail and inform them of the situation and arrangements made.

    Procedure for Extended Detention

    • If detaining the arrestee for more than two hours:
      • The arrestee must be questioned about any dependents reliant on their care.
    • Similar to the previous procedure, the arrestee should have a reasonable chance to make arrangements and be assisted if needed.
    • Notify the appropriate agency if arrangements cannot be made.
    • Arrestee must be informed about the care arrangements that have been established.
    • Maintain detailed records similar to those required for shorter detentions, including mandatory contact information and custody regaining details.
    • The supervising officer will also contact a judge for bail setting and to report on the arrangements.
