Deputies are dispatched to Haven Poe, Joshua House, etc., only when which condition applies?

• A. On request by staff
• B. Child under 12, mentally ill, or foul play expected (habitual or not is not a factor)
• C. For all incidents
• D. Medical emergencies only

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is when law enforcement should respond to situations at facilities housing vulnerable individuals. Dispatch is triggered when there is a child under 12, a person who is mentally ill, or there is suspected foul play. This criteria focuses on protecting vulnerable populations and potential crime, rather than responding to every call or only medical emergencies.

Reason this is the best choice: staff requests alone don’t automatically require a deputy response under this policy, and not all incidents involve medical issues or foul play. Recurrent incidents aren’t treated differently—the trigger is specifically the presence of a young child, a mental-illness situation, or suspected foul play. The other options are too broad or too narrow for when dispatch is appropriate.
