1145 DECISION ON SECURE CUSTODY
A minor who is taken into temporary custody by a peace

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

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

are detained in the facility. ☐ ☐ ☒

While in secure custody, minors may be locked in a
room or other secure enclosure, secured to a cuffing rail,
