In detainment within an AHS facility, which action is NOT a required component of the detention process?

When detaining someone in an AHS facility, the focus is on clear authority, transparency, and safety. You establish your role by identifying yourself as a Community Peace Officer to show you’re acting under authority. You also explain the grounds for detention so the person understands why they’re being held and on what basis this detention is happening. Finally, you prioritize safety by using appropriate precautions to protect everyone involved and to prevent harm, including de‑escalation and only using force that is necessary and proportional. Restraining someone with excessive force is not a required part of the process—and in fact would be inappropriate—so it’s not something you should rely on as a standard step in detention.
