When an inmate, has been accepted into a court lockup facility from an outside police agency (not LAPD), becomes sick or is injured prior to being remanded to the custody of the Sheriff, it is the outside police agency’s responsibility to provide medical treatment and security for the inmate. If there are no officers from the agency working in the lockup, it is the Sheriff’s responsibility to immediately activate the emergency medical system through the Branch Supervisor. Lockup personnel shall contact the agency and advise them of the medical emergency. The agency is responsible for providing an escort to the hospital and for any follow-up. The Sheriff will not accept the inmate for court processing without a doctor’s clearance. The agency may desire to transport the inmate directly to the Inmate Reception Center (IRC).
