A juvenile twelve (12) years of age and over who is alleged to have committed an offense that would subject an adult to arrest (a non-status offense). It also includes a juvenile who possesses a handgun in violation of ORS § 166.250. 28 CFR 31.303.

Answer 168

A juvenile under twelve (12) years of age who is alleged to have committed a serious violent offense requires consultation with the Juvenile Detention Hall (JDH) prior to taking the juvenile into custody.

Answer 170

A substantial threat to safety means an articulable opportunity for directed aggression in order for temporary detention to be permissible. For example, a juvenile with flailing limbs or breaking property may not pose a substantial threat, while a juvenile with flailing limbs, access to weapons, and the intent to harm self, others, animals, or members may pose a substantial threat.

Answer 171

1. In this Directive, the Portland Police Bureau distinguishes between temporary detention and Juvenile Detention Hall (JDH) custody of juveniles under twelve (12) years of age and juveniles twelve (12) years of age and over. 2. The Portland Police Bureau recognizes the inherent dignity of every person, including the youth in our community, whose needs differ from those of adults. The Bureau understands that giving members the authority to temporarily detain juveniles or place juveniles into custody and take them to Juvenile Detention Hall (JDH) to protect the public welfare creates an obligation to guide members as they balance important social and individual interests. 3. The Portland Police Bureau recognizes that duty may require members to temporarily detain or place juveniles into custody. 4. The Bureau also recognizes that temporary detention or custody may have lasting impact on the individuals involved and may impact the community at large. 5. It is the intention of the Bureau to accomplish its mission as effectively as possible while detaining juveniles only for as long as reasonably necessary for safe processing, transfer, and release. 6. Because the Bureau places high value on providing a positive influence towards youth, the Bureau is dedicated to providing training and resources that help members effectively engage juveniles.

Answer 172

The juvenile presents a substantial threat to safety. Substantial threat to safety must involve an articulable opportunity for directed aggression in order for temporary detention to be permissible.
