POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND RULES
Subject: 41.2.7 Department Response to Mentally Ill Subjects
Effective Date:
Reference:
Version: 1
CALEA: 41.2.7
No. Pages: 5
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide officers with effective resources for persons in need of
mental health service and to provide information on legal and procedural requirements to assist
them in providing the highest possible degree of service to this community.
It is the practice of the Fayetteville Police Department to protect emotionally disturbed persons
from harming themselves or others. Officers are likely to encounter mentally ill subjects in the
course of their daily activity. It is important to understand that mentally ill subjects may require
more time, different communication strategies and unusual decision-making in order to
effectively address the issues at hand. Effective strategies for dealing with this population must
place priority on public safety, the needs of the community and the requirements and rights of
the individual [Calea 41.2.7].
II. POLICY
Officers will make every effort to deal with subjects believed to be mentally ill in a manner that
will provide maximum safety to themselves, the community, and the subject. When possible, an
officer should have another officer present at all times when dealing with subjects believed to be
mentally ill. Officers will take steps to ensure such persons receive appropriate treatment to the
extent possible.
A. Recognizing Mental Illness
1. Mental Illness: Arkansas § 20-47-202 (10) (A) defines "mental illness" as a
substantial impairment of emotional processes, or of the ability to exercise conscious
control of one's actions, or the ability to perceive reality or to reason, when the
impairment is manifested by instances of extremely abnormal behavior or extremely
faulty perceptions.
2. Officers' decisions to hospitalize or deal with a mentally ill person informally should
be based on the degree of symptomsbeing displayed. The warnings signs or
symptoms may include, but should not be limited to, the following [Calea 41.2.7 a.]:
a. Confused thinking
b. Prolonged depression, including sadness or irritability
c. Feelings of extreme highs and lows
d. Paranoia, excessive fears, worries, and anxieties
41.2.7 Department Response to Mentally I11 Subjects Page 1 of 5
e. Dramatic changes in sleeping or eating habits
f. Strong feelings of anger
g. Delusions or hallucinations
h. Suicidal thoughts
i. Denial of obvious problems
j. Numerous unexplained physical ailments
k. Substance abuse
1. Social withdrawal
m. Threatening behavior
B. Initial Contact Guidelines [Calea 41.2.7 c]
1, Initial Contact – Any person exhibiting signs of uncontrolled mental illness may be
experiencing the effects of a severe medical condition, a chemical imbalance, brain
damage, the effects of narcotic use or a combination of any/all of the above.
a. Officers should not attempt to diagnose symptoms. Officers may be called
upon to articulate any observations and to make sound decisions based on
those observations.
b. Officers will always remember that any person, including a mentally ill
person, can be dangerous. Additionally, violent mentally ill subjects may
not respond in a predictable manner when physical force is being used.
They may not respond to painful stimuli as others would, and they may be
unusually strong during an acute psychotic phase.
2. Gathering Facts — Gather information that will assist in making decisions and that
may be used in a criminal or civil proceeding at some point.
a. Information may come from the subject, friends, family, and witnesses.
b. Valuable information may also be found when reviewing prescription
medications or in conferring with the person's psychiatric staff.
3 Officer's Evaluation of Subject – When an officer encounters a person whom he
believes may need mental health care, the officer shall evaluate the person's
condition and determine an appropriate disposition of the person, in accordance
with Arkansas § 20-47-204, Arkansas § 20-47-207, and Arkansas § 20-47-210.
Officers must first decide if, in their judgment based on training, experience and
input from mental health professionals and/or family members of the subject, that
the person is mentally ill AND:
a. A danger to him/herself and/or
b. A danger to others and/or
c. Gravely disabled (to the point that they can no longer take care of basic
functions such as secure shelter, medicine, food or basic hygiene)
41.2.7 Depailment Response to Mentally I11 Subjects Page 2 of 5
4. Unless the Subject willingly agrees to go to a treatment facility, and the above
criteria are met, a custodial detention is required on the part of this
department.
a. Custody can either take the form of a physical arrest or protective custody.
In the event of arrest, Officers shall complete a charging instrument
(preliminary arrest form) with a listed violation of a state statute.
b. Officers SHALL NOT take a person into protective custody and place them
in a jail setting without a chargeable offense.
5. Person believed to be suffering from mental illness that do not pose an immediate
danger to themselves or others may receive the following services from this
department:
a. Transportation or direction to a local treatment facility for voluntary
admission.
b. Assistance in contacting supportive family, friends and/or care providers.
6. Transportation – Patrol units equipped with safety screens will be used to transport
persons to treatment facilities. Officers should refer to Fayetteville Police
Department Policy 71.1.1 for transportation guidelines.
C. Involuntary Commitment
1. Arkansas § 20-47-207 states that a person shall be eligible for involuntary
commitment if he or she is in such a mental condition as a result of mental illness,
disease, or disorder that he/she poses a clear and present danger to himself/herself or
others.
2. State law requires any person placing a protective hold on another person to take that
subject to a hospital or receiving facility for treatment (ACA 20-47-201-210).
3. Involuntary Commitment: If an officer has personally witnessed a person's behavior,
which meets the criteria for involuntary commitment; received information from an
interested citizen willing to seek a petition for involuntary admission; or upon the
authorization of a Supervisor, the officer shall:
a. Take the person into custody. This can either be through arrest if an actual
crime has been committed or through protective custody as detailed in
Arkansas § 20-47-210.
b. Transport the person to Washington County Jail or to the appropriate facility
for screening and evaluation.
c. Provide jail staff or the initial screener with as much information as possible
about the person's condition.
d. Stay with the person until jail staff or hospital/treatment facility security
arrives and a report is given to receiving personnel. (Officers may use their
discretion to stay in the hospital facility longer in cases when the subject is
still violent and difficult to control.)
e. Complete a charging instrument (preliminary arrest form) if an arrest has been
made.
41.2.7 Department Response to Mentally I11 Subjects Page 3 of 5
f. Complete a petition for involuntary commitment and attach to an
informational report. (The petitioning officer must sign the affidavit.)
g. Leave a copy of the petition and informational report in the CID mailbox.
CID personnel will be responsible for forwarding the reports to the
Washington County Prosecutor's Office.
4. Current hospital and treatment center protocol will be maintained and available in
the Lieutenant's Office. [Calea 41.2.7 b.]
5. Note: If an officer has not witnessed behavior that would allow him/her to articulate
under oath the need for involuntary commitment, but other adults have witnessed the
behavior, those witnesses should be encouraged to file a petition for involuntary
commitment with the Washington County Prosecutor's Office.
6. Officers may use a reasonable and appropriate level of physical force necessary to
control and transport persons for the purpose of involuntary commitment or for the
enforcement of a court order, in compliance with Fayetteville Police Department
Policy 1.3.1.
D. Felony Arrest
1. No petition for Involuntary Commitment is necessary in the case of a felony arrest.
2. Felony arrests may result in a court order requiring immediate confinement of a
mentally ill subject into the Act 911 Program.
3. In instances where crimes have been committed, particularly against other persons, an
arrest is the preferred method of action:
E. Interview and Interrogation [Calea 41.2.7 c]
1. Persons who are presently experiencing mental illness may be interviewed and/or
interrogated in reference to an investigation.
2. Officer Safety must remain of paramount importance, and having a second officer
observing the interview is preferable.
F. Training
1. The Training Division shall ensure that all sworn employees receive documented
entry-level and refresher training on applicable laws and handling persons suspected
to be mentally ill. [Calea 41.2.7 d]
2. This documented training should occur at least every three (3) years and should
include input/instructors from mental health professionals, mental health consumers
and law enforcement instructors. [Calea 41.2.7 e]
