C.R.S. § 19-2.5-209: Taking juvenile into custody.

(1) A juvenile may be taken into temporary custody by a law enforcement officer without order of the court when there are reasonable grounds to believe that the juvenile has committed a delinquent act.

(2) A juvenile may be taken into temporary custody by a law enforcement officer executing a lawful warrant taking a juvenile into custody issued pursuant to section 19-2.5-204.

(3) A juvenile probation officer may take a juvenile into temporary custody:

(a) Under the circumstances stated in subsection (1) of this section; or

(b) If the juvenile has violated the conditions of probation and is under the continuing jurisdiction of the juvenile court.

(4) A juvenile may be detained temporarily by an adult other than a law enforcement officer if the juvenile has committed or is committing a delinquent act in the presence of such adult. Any person detaining a juvenile shall notify, without unnecessary delay, a law enforcement officer, who shall assume custody of said juvenile.

(5) The taking of a juvenile into temporary custody pursuant to this section is not an arrest, nor does it constitute a police record.
