Section 5333 - Decision to Place a Hold

The hold decision shall be made in every case regardless of the type of crime or violation with which the individual is charged and regardless of whether another criminal justice agency is detaining the person. The fact that an outpatient has been released on bail on his own recognizance does not serve as a substitute for the decision to place a hold. The potential threat to the community shall be considered.
