1(1) A goal of the department is that youth shall not be held in a JAC for longer than six (6) hours from the time he or she is turned over to the JPO from law enforcement or other authorities. If a youth is held over the six (6) hour period for any reason, the reason for the delay and the actions taken to comply with this six (6) hour goal shall be documented. Management shall use this documentation to identify any systemic problems with meeting the six-hour timeframe.
90(2) If it is determined that the youth is in need of non-emergency medical attention, the following shall take place based on the youth’s screening status:
116(a) Upon arrival to pick up the youth from the JAC, the parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be notified verbally and in writing by the JPO that the youth appears to be ill or has complained of illness or injury, and that further medical assessment is needed after release. The parent(s)/guardian(s) shall provide written acknowledgement indicating their understanding of the situation.
174(b) For youth being released to secure detention, the detention center superintendent or designee shall be notified immediately by phone of the youth’s illness or injury. This person shall be provided all available information regarding the youth’s specific symptoms or complaints to facilitate an appropriate and timely medical assessment.
223(3) If a youth admitted to a JAC is identified through screening or other sources as a potential suicide threat, but the youth does not meet the criteria for immediate transportation to a facility for evaluation, the following is required:
263(a) If the youth is to be released to the parent(s)/guardian(s), the parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be informed that suicide risk factors were disclosed during preliminary screening, and that a full assessment of suicide risk should be conducted by a qualified mental 303health professional. The parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be provided with the Suicide Risk Screening Parent/Guardian Notification form (MHSA 003). A copy of the form shall be permanently filed in the youth’s case file.
334(b) If the youth is being detained in secure detention, a suicide risk alert shall be immediately entered into JJIS and the youth placed on constant observation until an assessment of suicide risk is conducted. The JPO will write “suicide risk” on the top page of the detention packet and verbally notify the detention center superintendent or designee prior to the youth’s transfer from the JAC and notify the transportation staff upon their arrival.
