Why is isn't the City of Oakland using the LPS act to help this person?
The LPS act a bipartisan bill was co-authored by California State Assemblyman Frank D. Lanterman (R) and California State Senators Nicholas C. Petris (D) and Alan Short (D), and signed into law in 1967. The Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act provides guidelines for handling involuntary civil commitment of individuals to mental health institutions in California.
Under the LPS Act, individuals can be detained into a locked psychiatric facility in the following process. 5150 hold, an individual can be placed involuntary to a locked psychiatric facility, for evaluation for up to 72 hours. Any peace officer or specific individuals authorized by a county government may place the hold.
www.calhospital.org/lps-act shows a map that identifies 100 hospitals in California that are designated by the counties to receive LPS 5150 patients.
