CRJS 209 Handling the Emotionally Disturbed and Custody The scope of the material presented in this section encompasses the legal and administrative aspects of custody, including a presentation of practical techniques for safe supervision. Each stage of the custody process from arrest through search, transportation, booking and lock-up pending arraignment and bail or transfer to a detention facility is considered. Many circumstances that involve high emotions that are similar however there are real differences in the situations and factors that have caused the emotional upset. Landlord tenant disputes require different considerations than domestic disturbances; persons afflicted with mental illness who are confused and frightened and acting "strangely" are different than those who, for criminal or terrorist purposes, take a hostage. Yet all can represent a threat or potential for violence or dangerousness either to themselves or others. Students should have the opportunity to try and demonstrate some of the skill learned and apply the knowledge acquired. A Guide to
