About this statute
For intoxicated persons taken into police holding facilities, this provision says that the law on treatment of persons in police custody also applies, taking the person’s intoxication state into account. Polisen ska föra vissa berusade personer till tillnyktringsstation eller annan vårdplats, ta våldsamma eller annars otillgängliga berusade i förvar och vid behov ordna sjukhusvård utan dröjsmål. An intoxicated person may be taken into custody when their intoxication, health, and the need to maintain order and safety justify it. A responsible facility operator decides on a person’s detention at a sobering-up station or other care facility; for detention in police detention premises, the relevant police officer decides.
