[QUOTE="Andy, post: 287298, member: 5096"] Our state used to have a Police Officer's Emergency Hold Order where the police could admit him for a 72 hour hold at the nearest state hospital for assessments, ect. I have not worked with the Mental Health Division for a long time. However, I am sure there is still a Physcian's 72 hour hold which an ER doctor can sign if the Police do not have that option. I am curious to know if the police officers took him to an ER for an emergency evaluation. That would have started the 72 hour hold and whatever the committment process is. I also know that holds can be longer than 72 hours. They can last for several days until the commitment hearing. I work in the Chemical Dependency division of our State's treatment centers (the divisions were seperated several years ago). We do get Judicial Hold Orders from time to time but I don't work directly with that process so do not know the criteria. However, if there are hold orders out there for Chemical Dependency situations, I am sure they still use them for Mental Health situations. Commitment hearings can be set ASAP to assure the safety of the community. in my opinion, he should be sitting in a psychiatric hospital on a hold awaiting commitment hearing to allow the state to keep him in the hospital for a very long time. Ooops - see now you are in Canada - different laws - However, couldn't an ER doctor still be used to make this N2 call? [/QUOTE]
