Threshold to arrest er patient At st Anthony’s
Quick question for sppd officers. When is it ok to arrest a patient in emergency room who strikes a hospital employee?
Also, what is the role of off duty officers at the hospital and are they restricted per their contract with sppd?
Chief of police, legal council and two majors were at the hospital today explaining why arrests couldn’t be made unless felony battery occurred.
Is this a county prosecutor issue or is this a Dept policy issue?
Thanks for the responses.
