1. Detention Policy Statement: Juvenile Hall is charged with the authority and responsibility to make the decision to hold any youth in a secured detention facility.  That decision is based on Section 626 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.  Youth brought into Juvenile Hall custody must be released immediately unless he/she meets one of the conditions pursuant to Rule 1477/WIC 628.  Youth shall be released to a parent, guardian or responsible adult (WIC 628).  The youth, the adult, or both may be required to sign an agreement to appear as a condition of release.  In the event a youth is admitted and found to not meet any criteria set forth in Rule 1477/WIC 628, the youth’s parent(s) shall be contacted and directed to come to the facility and take custody of their son or daughter.  Should the youth’s parent(s) refuse to take custody of their son or daughter because the youth is beyond their control a Shift Leader or Supervising Deputy Probation Officer may inform the youth’s parent that pursuant to WIC 903.25(b), they can be charged $100.00/24 hours.  In the event the youth’s parent(s) continue to refuse to come to the facility to take custody of the youth, the Probation Department has the option of releasing the youth to a non-secure shelter care facility under Section 601WIC. When a youth is held, there must be a detention hearing before the Juvenile Court.  In cases where any one of the alleged offenses is a felony, the hearing must be held on the next judicial day after the petition is filed.  The petition must be filed within 48 hours of the arrest or the next judicial day, whichever is later.  In misdemeanor cases, the petition must be filed within 24 hours after the youth is taken into custody or the following judicial day, whichever is later.  On weekends or holidays, the youth shall appear for a detention hearing within 24 hours after the petition is filed as long as he/she is not a ward of the Court and/or the crime did not involve violence.  In cases wherein the Judge of the Juvenile Court has committed the youth to a specific time in custody, the youth shall be provided with a copy of the Court order specifying the duration of their commitment. There is no bail in juvenile court matters.  The decision to release is based on the risk to the community if the youth is released.  This differs from the adult system, which allows bail as a guarantee of appearance in court and has little to do with the protection of society.  Youth will be held if booked for a criminal warrant unless a juvenile court judge authorizes a release. In all cases, discretion must be used.  The Welfare and Institutions Code requires that the Probation Officer or the Juvenile Hall staff make an immediate investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding the youth being taken into custody.  The guidelines for consistency in that investigation are as follows:
   1. Instances of violent crime will be examined to determine:
      1.  Type of weapon used.
      2. Relationship of proponent.
      3. Nature of injury inflicted.
      4. Nature of injury received.
      5. Potential of mutual combat.
      6. Motive if not mutual combat.
      7. The outcome of co-defendants, if any.
   2. Instances of property crime will be examined to determine:
      1.  The amount of damage/loss.
      2. The type of damage/loss.
      3. The amount of loss, which is not retrievable.
      4. The outcome of co-defendants, if any.
   3. Other factors to be considered but is not limited to:
      1.  The youth’s attitude.
      2. The arresting officer’s opinion.
      3. The youth’s previous history.
      4. The parent(s) response.
      5. Age of the youth. 
         •  ​​The Gladys R. Questionnaire will be administered to any youth under the age of fourteen (14).
   4. ​​In general, all misdemeanor cases are releasable: Reasonable necessity is a judgment based on the risk of re-offense and the extent of danger, damage or loss to a future victim of such re-offense.  In any such decisions the reasonable person rule applies and consultation is indicated whenever a clear decision with team consensus is not possible.  Juvenile Hall has developed the following criteria for the detention and release of youth at Juvenile Hall.  The Probation Department shall accept into custody all WIC 602 youth delivered to Juvenile Hall by law enforcement agencies.  These criteria will clarify how we make the decisions to detain or release a youth once he/she is accepted into custody.
   5. Mandatory Detention–Accept and retain in custody:
      1. WIC 707(b) crimes.
      2. Multiple and separate felonies.
         1. The offenses are committed at different times and/or places.
         2. The crimes were predominantly independent of each other.
         3. The crimes involved separate acts of violence or threats of violence.
      3. Felony crimes of violence.
      4. Felony sexual offenses
      5. Felony high speed pursuit (driver only)
      6. Warrants.
      7. Runaway / Terminated from placement (if return to placement is inappropriate or if the placement will not accept youth back).
      8. Home Supervision arrest / Electronic Monitoring violation.
      9. Escape from county institutions or furlough violation
      10. Youth who refuse to return home or whose parents refuse to reclaim the youth.
      11. New felony offense by a youth who is already on probation/parole.
      12.  Any youth booked on an offense that included the use of a firearm.
      13. Violation of probation for a Secure Track Youth (SOAR)
   6. Detention Status – Acceptance, followed by an investigation to determine retention or release of youth.
      1. Other felonies except drugs and not listed in Section 5. 
      2. Misdemeanors involving violence.
      3. Sales of drugs or possession for sale of drugs
      4. Possession of drugs.
      5. Misdemeanor, which includes the possession of a deadly weapon.
      6. New misdemeanor offense by youth pending intake or court action or those youth currently on probation/parole.
      7. All other misdemeanors
   7. Detention Investigation Factors:

2. Holds for Other Agencies
   1. On occasion, other probation agencies may need overnight housing for a ward of the court in transit.  Such requests will be accommodated as a courtesy, if space is available.
   2. If a hold is requested for a youth being transferred from a DJJ facility, we will reserve the right to refuse acceptance.   The decision to hold or decline acceptance of the youth will rest on his/her status and/or disposition, if known.  The custody decision requires authorization from the Chief Probation Officer.
   3. In the event of an arrest on a warrant, the Juvenile Hall shall accept the youth without authorization for a hold and advise the agency of jurisdiction that the youth is in custody.
3. Out-Of-Home Placements: Juvenile Hall will be notified regarding San Luis Obispo County youth who have absconded from out-of-home placement.  The following procedures will apply.
   1. The out of home placement will advise the Probation Department that the youth has absconded.
   2.   The Control JSO will notify the assigned DPO and their SDPO by email.
   3.  If a law enforcement agency advises the youth is in custody, the on-duty JSO III or Control JSO will request the youth be detained. 
   4.  The Control Officer will notify the youth’s assigned Probation Officer and their Supervisor via email.
   5. In the event of a placement failure without a law violation, we shall authorize detention and request the placement facility fax a report indicating the circumstances of the placement failure at the time of booking.  Detention shall be authorized if the youth’s supervising Deputy Probation Officer should request it.
4. Admission of Youth (18-25 years old) Under the Jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court
   1. The purpose of this section is to provide guidance in the admission of adults, between the ages of 18 - 24 years of age, who have been arrested based upon warrants issued by the Juvenile Court or a violation of a Juvenile Court order.
   2. Youth who are between the ages of 18 thru 24 must be directly booked into the Juvenile Hall for violation of a juvenile court order or an outstanding juvenile warrant.

If a Notice of Violation of Probation is filed pursuant to Section 777 of the Welfare and Institutions Code regarding a Ward, who is 18 years or older and booked into county jail for a new crime, and if that Ward is detained by the Juvenile Court on the WIC 777, the Ward shall be transferred to the Juvenile Hall if the criminal court has released the Ward from the County Jail.
   7. Pursuant to Section 707.1 (2) of the Welfare and Institution Code, any youth who attains the age of 18 and has been declared not a fit and proper subject to be dealt with under the Juvenile Court law, shall be delivered to the custody of the Sheriff’s unless the Court finds it is in the best interest of the person or the public that he or she be retained in Juvenile Hall.

   9. Secure track youth 18 and older will adhere to the above    classification process.
5. Verification of Juvenile Warrant
   1. Juvenile Hall will ensure that, within our ability, no youth will be arrested twice on the same warrant.  When any law enforcement agency indicates they are arresting a youth pursuant to a warrant, and only a warrant, that agency must be advised to contact the Sheriff’s Department requesting verification to the warrant.  
   2. All warrants need to be checked to ensure they are a Juvenile Court warrant and not a Traffic Court warrant.
   3. The list of outstanding warrants at Juvenile Hall is advisory only and must be confirmed.
   4. When an officer arrives with a youth who has been arrested on a warrant, the original warrant should be delivered with the youth.  The original warrant is to be attached to the intake copy of the Booking Sheet.  
   5. The Juvenile Hall Booking Sheet and the log entry should show that the original warrant and the warrant number were received.  
   6.  If an officer arrives with a youth arrested on a warrant but does not have a copy of the warrant, the officer must ensure a copy is faxed and/or received by the Juvenile Hall. 
      1. Get the number.
      2. At 0800 hours, the intake Officer handling detention matter, will retrieve the original warrant from the Sheriff’s Department, Warrants Division.
   7. In any case where a youth is brought in on a new charge as well as a warrant, hold the youth on the new charge and, if necessary, the warrant can be verified later.
   8. In the event that a youth is arrested on a “Ramey Warrant” (probable cause), the following procedures will apply:
   9. Make sure it is filled out and that the officer’s name is legible.
      1. Make sure the warrant has been served within the time limit that is valid and before it expires.
      2. Disregard any reference to bail since youth are not eligible for bail (unless they have been found “unfit” for Juvenile Court) and we have no response in that regard.
      3. Determine if the charge is a felony or a misdemeanor.
         1. If a felony, review totality of the circumstances.  During non-business hours, refer to a SDPO to make a detention decision.  During business hours, refer matter to intake DPO to conduct a further investigation.
         2. If a misdemeanor, the youth may be released on a promise to appear unless parent refuse and/or the arresting officer claims there is an escape/runaway problem.  If youth is detained, log the reason and the allegation.
      4. Attach the warrant to the Booking Sheet, if detained, and forward to the probation officer handling detention hearings.
      5. The probable cause warrant can be identified by:
         1.  Labeled as “probable cause.”
         2. Good for ten (10) days only.
         3. It is supported in its body only by a police report or statement by a police officer.

Youth held under Section 601 WIC are not permitted to come in either visual or auditory contact with any person that is in custody under provisions of section 602 WIC. Youth described under Section 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, booked at Juvenile Hall may still be reduced to a 601 Welfare and Institutions Code status and released, if deemed appropriate.
7. Booking of out of county Wards: The booking procedure for a youth, who is on formal probation in another county, will be as follows:
   1.  If a warrant has been issued, we will accept the youth (with a copy of the abstract) and notify the county of residence that the warrant has been served.
   2. That county has five days in which to retrieve the youth from our facility or the youth will be released.   The only exception would be if the youth has been booked into our facility on new San Luis Obispo County charges.
   3. If the youth is in a group home, and a representative seeks to book a youth as a “placement failure,” authorization and delivery arrangements with the county of jurisdiction must be made prior to acceptance.
8. Booking Packet: The facility uses several forms, which constitute a booking packet.  These forms are located in Monitor and will be used to collect necessary data during the booking.  All relevant forms of the booking packet must be used for each youth held in the facility unless a supervisor authorizes the booking officer to make an exception.  The booking packet consists of an admission record, statement of rights, initial health screening, Behavioral Health screening, permit for emergency medical care, personal property inventory, visitation and release record, check off sheet, duty to warn (if applicable), probable cause, Juvenile Hall rules and guidelines, gang identification non-association forms, non-racial agreement, classification form, CSEC assessment, and SOGIE assessment.
9. Booking Traffic and/or Multiple Offenses: It is possible that youth will be delivered to Juvenile Hall pursuant to an arrest on a traffic offense and/or a combination of charges.  In such cases, the following will apply:
   1. The booking officer will determine the most serious of the charges and make a detention/release decision.
      1. Felony - A felony charge can generally be identified where the description of the punishment includes mention of commitment to State Prison.
      2. Misdemeanor - A misdemeanor charge generally can be identified where the punishment is County Jail commitment, one year or less, and/or a fine.  State Prison is not mentioned.  Some misdemeanors, such as HS 11357(b), do not include any custody time.
      3. Infractions - An infraction can generally be identified where the punishment includes only a fine.  In the Vehicle Code, offenses with no punishment listed are generally infractions.
         • In the case of misdemeanors or infractions (such as a traffic warrant or a tobacco warrant), where the youth is released, the intake copy of the Booking Sheet, the warrant, and the Agreement to Appear will be sent to the appropriate Court.
10. Warrant Service on Youth in Custody: When a youth is already in custody on another charge and an officer produces and presents a warrant, such as a traffic warrant, the following procedures will apply:
    1. The warrant can be left at the intake desk.  It does not have to be served on the youth.
    2. Daytime service hours are between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM.
    3. A new Booking Sheet will be completed.  The warrant will be attached to the yellow intake copy.
    4. The Booking Sheet does not require the officer’s signature, but his/her name should be noted on the form.
    5. The reason for detention is “hold on a warrant.”
    6. If the youth’s original case has been completed and release is pending, the youth must be:
       1. Held if it is a criminal warrant.

    2. If a WIC 707 order has been filed, the District Attorney will coordinate with the Juvenile Court Officer as to the location to which the youth will appear in Criminal Court. 
    3.    Once the youth is found unfit for Juvenile Court, and has appeared in adult court for an arraignment, bail may be set or the Court may release the individual on his/her own recognizance (OR).
12. Violation of Probation Criteria for Admissions at Juvenile Hall
    1. A youth, who is a ward of the court, may be admitted into Juvenile Hall if the youth presents a danger to himself or herself or the community and/or has committed a law violation or violated an order of the Court.

If the booking occurs at shift change, the outgoing staff should ensure the completion of the Booking Sheet or hold the law enforcement officer or Deputy Probation Officer until the oncoming staff can accept responsibility for the booking.  The staff signing the Booking Sheet as booking officer accepts responsibility for the completeness of Part I and is the person authorizing the officer to leave the facility.
16. Medi-Cal Insurance Pursuant to AB133/CalAIM. Effective January 1, 2023, CalAIM requires all counties to implement a Pre-Release Medi-Cal Application Process to ensure all youth who are released from County Correctional Facilities and County youth Correctional Facilities receive timely access to Medi-Cal services, if otherwise eligible. Department of Social Services (DSS) will collaborate with the Probation Department in assisting youth with submitting an application for, or otherwise assisting their enrollment in, a health insurance affordability program consistent with federal requirements. The Probation Department will additionally work with DSS in informing them of the incarceration status of youth, in order for DSS to appropriately suspend and activate (unsuspend) Medi-Cal coverage for beneficiaries as part of the CalAIM initiative. 
    1. A medical insurance screening shall be completed during the parental notification process of a new booking. 
    2. The medical insurance questions are located on the “627.5 WIC Parental Notification” document in Monitor.

    8. When a youth does not have medical insurance, and the youth is over 18 years of age, staff must confirm if the young adult is interested in services or not. Even if the parent(s)/guardian(s) want their child enrolled in services, the young adult is of legal age and must enroll themselves.
       1. If the young adult is interested in services, notify the Department of Social Services Medi-Cal Program Manager a young adult (18 or older) wishes to enroll in services. Coordinate a Zoom visit with the Medi-Cal Manager for the young adult as soon as reasonably possible (if detained, it must be completed prior to their 28th day incarcerated). Once the Zoom meeting has been completed, the Program Manager or their designee will email or fax the completed application to the Juvenile Hall (805) 781-1113.
