When the on-duty supervisor determines that a youth requires mechanical restraints during their appearance in court due to the youth’s behavior while detained at the Juvenile Hall, including the court room, the youth being an escape risk or the seriousness of the youth’s criminal charges, the following procedure shall be followed:

The on-duty supervisor shall make recommendation to the Chief Deputy Probation Officer or their designee.

If the Chief Deputy Probation Officer or their designee concurs with the recommendation, the Juvenile Probation Court Officer will be notified of the facility’s request.

The Juvenile Probation Court Officer will make the request to the Juvenile Court Judge on the record prior to the youth entering the court room.

The Court Officer will notify the Juvenile Hall of the Court’s ruling on authorizing the youth’s appearance in restraints.
