Rule 3.933 - Acquiring Physical Control of Juvenile(A) Custody Without Court Order. When an officer apprehends a juvenile for an offense without a court order and does not warn and release the juvenile, does not refer the juvenile to a diversion program, and does not have authorization from the prosecuting attorney to file a complaint and warrant charging the juvenile with an offense as though an adult pursuant to MCL 764.1f, the officer may: (1) issue a citation or ticket to appear at a date and time to be set by the court and release the juvenile;(2) accept a written promise of the parent, guardian, or legal custodian to bring the juvenile to court, if requested, at a date and time to be set by the court, and release the juvenile to the parent, guardian, or legal custodian; or(3) take the juvenile into custody and request the prosecutor to file a petition, if: (a) the officer has reason to believe that because of the nature of the offense, the interest of the juvenile or the interest of the public would not be protected by release of the juvenile, or(b) a parent, guardian, or legal custodian cannot be located or has refused to take custody of the juvenile.(B) Custody With Court Order. When a petition is presented to the court, and probable cause exists to believe that a juvenile has committed an offense, the court may issue an order to apprehend the juvenile. The order may include authorization to(1) enter specified premises as required to bring the juvenile before the court, and(2) detain the juvenile pending preliminary hearing.(C) Notification of Court. The officer who apprehends a juvenile must immediately contact the court when:(1) the officer detains the juvenile,(2) the officer is unable to reach a parent, guardian, or legal custodian who will appear promptly to accept custody of the juvenile, or(3) the parent, guardian, or legal custodian will not agree to bring the juvenile to court as provided in subrule (A)(2).(D) Separate Custody of Juvenile. While awaiting arrival of the parent, guardian, or legal custodian, appearance before the court, or otherwise, the juvenile must be maintained separately from adult prisoners to prevent any verbal, visual, or physical contact with an adult prisoner.Amended September 18, 2019, effective 1/1/2020.
