5.07.110 Emergency Custody of Child

If it appears that a child is in danger for whatever reason and the Court is unavailable to issue an emergency order, an officer of the Court including a police officer, a probation officer, or a social worker may make an emergency removal of a child and arrangements for appropriate medical shelter care if such removal is deemed necessary for the welfare of that child. Such removals shall be done on an emergency basis only. The officer and/or worker who makes an emergency removal of a child shall submit a written report on the incident along with the petition for a custody order before the end of the next working day of the Court.
