In situations where brief or accidental contact may
occur, such as booking or facility movement, facility staff
(trained in the supervision of incarcerated people) shall
maintain a constant, side-by-side presence with the
minor or the adult to prevent sustained contact.
1145 DECISION ON SECURE CUSTODY
A minor who is taken into temporary custody by a peace
officer on the basis that they are a person described by
Section 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code may
be held in secure custody in a law enforcement facility
that contains a lockup for adults if the minor is 14 years
of age or older and if, in the reasonable belief of the
peace officer, the minor presents a serious security risk
of harm to self or others, as long as all other conditions
of secure custody set forth in these standards are met.
Any minor in temporary custody who is less than 14
years of age, or who does not in the reasonable belief
of the peace officer present a serious security risk of
harm to self or others, shall not be placed in secure
custody, but may be kept in non-secure custody in the
facility as long as all other conditions of non-secure
custody set forth in these standards are met.
Note: Minors in secure detention are 14 years of age or
older.
In making the determination whether the minor presents
a serious security risk of harm to self or others, the
officer may take into account the following factors:
(a) age, maturity, and delinquent history of the minor;
(b) severity of the offense(s) for which the minor was
taken into custody;
(c) minor's behavior, including the degree to which the
minor appears to be cooperative or non-cooperative;
(d) the availability of staff to provide adequate
supervision or protection of the minor; and
(e) the age, type, and number of other individuals who
are detained in the facility.
1146 CONDITIONS OF SECURE CUSTODY
While in secure custody, minors may be locked in a
room or other secure enclosure, secured to a cuffing rail,
or otherwise reasonably restrained as necessary to
prevent escape and protect the minor and others from
harm.

and
(2) safety checks, as defined in Section 1006, of the
minor by staff of the law enforcement facility, at least
once every 30 minutes, which shall be documented.
(b) Minors of different genders shall not be placed in the
same locked room unless under constant direct visual
observation by staff of the law enforcement facility.
1148 SUPERVISION OF MINORS IN SECURE
CUSTODY OUTSIDE OF A LOCKED
ENCLOSURE
Minors held in secure custody outside of a locked
enclosure shall not be secured to a stationary object for

A staff person from the facility shall provide constant
direct visual observation to assure the minor's safety
while secured to a stationary object.
Securing minors to a stationary object for longer than 60
minutes, and every 30 minutes thereafter, shall be
approved by a supervisor.
The decision for securing a minor to a stationary object
for longer than 60 minutes, and every 30 minutes
thereafter shall be based upon the best interests of the
minor and shall be documented.
1149 CRITERIA FOR NON-SECURE CUSTODY
Minors held in temporary custody, who do not meet the
criteria for secure custody as specified in Section
207.1(b) of the Welfare and Institutions Code, may be
held in non- secure custody to investigate the case,
facilitate release of the minor to a parent or guardian, or
arrange for transfer of the minor to an appropriate
juvenile facility. While minors are held in temporary non-
secure custody the provisions of Section 1143 apply.
1150 SUPERVISION OF MINORS IN NON-
SECURE CUSTODY
Minors held in non-secure custody shall receive
constant direct visual observation by staff of the law
enforcement facility. Entry and release times shall be
documented and made available for review. Monitoring
a minor using audio, video, or other electronic devices
shall never replace constant direct visual observation.

INTOXICATING SUBSTANCE IN SECURE
OR NON-SECURE CUSTODY
Facility administrators shall develop policies and
procedures providing that a medical clearance shall be
obtained for minors who are under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or any other intoxicating substance to the
extent that they are unable to care for themselves, prior
to secure or non-secure custody of that minor.
Supervision of minors in secure custody in a locked
room shall include safety checks at least once every 15
minutes until resolution of the intoxicated state or
release. These safety checks shall be documented, with
actual time of occurrence recorded.
Supervision of minors in secure custody outside of a
locked room shall be supervised in accordance with
Section 1148.
Supervision of minors in nonsecure custody shall be
supervised in accordance with Section 1150.
