When a juvenile under the age of 16 years needs hospitalization and no juvenile court order exists, the juvenile shall be taken to Admitting Room Unit 1 of LAC/USC Medical Center.
If the admitting room doctor approves admission, hospital forms shall be prepared, a patient file number issued and the juvenile placed in an open ward. When security is required, arrangements shall be made through the concerned station/unit watch commander for posting a deputy in the ward until a court order is obtained. (Refer to section 5-02/090.20 if a court order is obtained.) An entrance record and a probable cause declaration is taken to IDC at Eastlake.
