Who can transport juveniles when necessary?

Police officers are authorized to transport juveniles when necessary due to their training and responsibilities in maintaining public safety and enforcing the law. Officers have the legal authority to make decisions in emergency situations involving minors, including transport for their safety and welfare. They are equipped to handle various scenarios that may arise during such transports, ensuring the protection of the juvenile as well as the public.

Other individuals, like civilian volunteers, social workers, and parents or guardians, may have roles in supporting juveniles in different contexts, but they typically do not possess the same level of authority or training related to law enforcement and public safety. While parents or guardians can transport their own children, they may not be available in all circumstances, and civilian volunteers or social workers usually do not have the authority to transport juveniles without proper oversight or legal mandates.
