SF APD created these templates working with the Sheriff's Department. These forms are specific to San Francisco and meet the joint needs of APD and SFSD, but can easily be customized to your County or used as a guide.

It may be useful for your planning process locally if you will be using alternative custody. We will follow up with the state to see if further clarification is needed.
