Book Description
If the physician on duty at a treatment facility believes a person who is detained pursuant to K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 59-2908(b) to be a mentally ill person, but the treatment facility will not admit such person, the peace officer who has taken the person into custody is responsible for transporting the suspected mentally ill person to a "suitable place" of detention, even if the only suitable place available is outside the officer's normal territorial jurisdiction. Cited herein: K.S.A. 22-2401a, 59-2902, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 59-2908.
