Who has the final say on whether an arrestee can be detained at the ADC?

• A. The Magistrate
• B. The Sheriff
• C. The ADC Medic
• D. The Chief of Police

Answer: (C)

Medical clearance is required before someone can be confined in the ADC, and the person who determines whether the arrestee can be admitted is the ADC Medic. The medic evaluates medical and psychiatric status, contagious conditions, need for immediate treatment, and overall safety for housing the person in the facility. If there are medical reasons the arrestee cannot be safely detained (or needs to be hospitalized, isolated, or treated elsewhere), the medic makes the final call on admission. The magistrate or arresting agency can issue orders or hold decisions based on legal grounds, and they handle custody authority, but the actual admission to the ADC hinges on medical clearance. That’s why the ADC Medic is the best answer.
