What is Emergency Detention?
Emergency detention is the legal process in which a police officer or examiner, defined as an
individual who is licensed as a psychiatrist, physician, advanced practitioner nurse, physician’s
assistant, psychologist, professional counselor, addictions therapist, clinical social worker, or
marriage or family therapist, detains a person who is reasonably thought to be a danger to
themselves, others, or who is unable to meet basic needs, as a result of mental illness.
Harm to self: There must be evidence of, or a substantial probability for, physical harm to the
person and evidence of recent threats, or attempts, at suicide, or serious bodily harm.
Harm to others: There must be evidence of, or a substantial probability for, physical harm to
others as shown through a recent homicidal act, attempt, or threat, or other violent act, attempt
or threat, which places others in reasonable fear of serious physical harm.
Inability to Meet Basic Need: The person must demonstrate behavior by recent acts, or lack
of action, due to mental illness, that s/he has been unable to satisfy the basic needs for
nourishment, essential medical care, shelter, or safety. In this case, there must be a substantial
probability that death, serious physical injury, serious physical debilitation, destabilization due
to not taking prescribed psychotropic medications, or serious physical disease, will occur right
away, unless the individual receives prompt and adequate treatment for the mental illness.
This document is intended to summarize the processes of Emergency Detention, as described in
the Wyoming State Statute 25-10-109, which can be found at http://legisweb.state.wy.us.
What does “detained” mean? Where are you detained?
“Detained,” in this context, means that an individual has been taken into custody at a hospital
or suitable facility appropriate under the circumstances. The individual may NOT be held at a
jail or criminal detention center, except in extreme emergency or if no reasonable alternative is
available.
Who can detain someone under this law?
A law enforcement officer or an examiner can make the initial decision to detain an individual
under this law.
The First 24 hours
Upon being detained, the officer or examiner responsible will write a statement regarding the
facts of the emergency detention. A copy of this statement will be given to the detained individual,
any subsequent examiner, and the designated gatekeeper. If treatment for the detained individual
is necessary, and the individual consents, it may be provided.
A gatekeeper is an individual who understands the emergency detention process and may
coordinate with, and provide guidance to, the courts and detained individuals. Gatekeepers may
also testify in court. They do not provide inpatient psychiatric treatment.
When detained, the law enforcement officer in charge will immediately contact the person
responsible for the individual, if known, and explain the situation to them. For any other person
to be contacted, the detained individual, or his/her guardian, must sign a release of information
form. A preliminary assessment of the individual will be scheduled within 24 hours, and will be
conducted by a licensed health or mental health professional. If the person is found to not be
mentally ill or a danger to self or others, the person must be released.
If the preliminary assessment finds that the person is mentally ill and a danger to self or others,
s/he will be temporarily detained for a period no longer than 72 hours, excluding Saturdays,
Sundays, and legal holidays.
If detained, what happens in the next 48 hours?
A preliminary hearing must occur within 72 hours of the emergency detention (excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays). The individual detained, his/her guardian, and his/her
attorney will be given notice of the preliminary hearing. This hearing cannot be delayed unless
requested by the detained individual, parent/guardian, or his/her attorney.
If the court finds that the detained individual is not mentally ill, the individual will be released.
If the court finds the individual is mentally ill, it can order continued detention for not more
than ten (10) days. The court, at the request of the individual or his/her attorney, may extend
this period. The court will also determine the individual’s competence (ability) to make
informed decisions regarding treatment and the need for psychotropic medications. If found to
be incompetent, the court may order the administration of such medications in order to stabilize
the mental health of the individual.
Who pays for all of these costs?
The county in which the individual is detained is responsible for the costs of transportation and
treatment provided within the first 72 hours of detention, including weekends and legal holidays.
Medical care related to suicide attempts or serious bodily harm will be provided, and the county
will cover these costs. The county will also cover court and attorney fees for Wyoming residents,
and the Wyoming Department of Health will handle costs for non-residents.
Always call 911 for emergencies. If you are concerned about a family member or loved
one, call your local police department’s crisis intervention line or send a text message
to the Crisis Line at 741-741. You can also call the Substance Abuse & Mental Health
Ombudsman at 888.857.1942.

She is just sooo full of crap.
We thought Adam schiff was a,lowlife, but wow, Cheney seems to have him beat
I cannot stand this b$tch.
Well, does itt even rise to the level of a trial? A taxpayer paid Democrat sponsored smear campaign. One sided agitprop. A cup full of leftist drivel.
(Next Congress needs to send the DNC the bill for the entire cost based in its irregular creation.)
Not to mention 10-30,000 direct civilians deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan and 100,000s indirect by opposing forces due to our invasions
It’s a mess
And Iraq was predicated on bad intel
Afghanistan was somewhat justified but we should have left after decimating the taliban
How much is Cheney being paid and with what?
And Bushy couldn’t even get Bin Laden.
Cant wait until they are screaming from the basement door
Kennedy banged teen interns in WH pool and orchestrated a gang bang of one who later proclaimed she’d been a virgin at the time
While some press were there too btw
This gal is demonically driven. Give it up Liz!
From a GOP point of view, Liz Cheney has committed the most serious misconduct in GOP history. Only the Bushes and her daddy might be proud of her, as she cememts their never return to U.S. politics.
The media leveled these exact statements about her VP father during the GW Bush years. She must not harbor any resentment towards the same entity she is willing to take up arms with. This broad is 100% wack!
This bitch is completely out of her mind. WTH is her problem?
Maybe because deep down she agreed with it.
