(1) This subsection establishes the authority and procedures that apply to a person designated by a court to effect disposition of a child taken into protective custody or brought before the court under ORS 419B.160, 419B.165, 419B.168 or 419B.171. The person shall, when the person has taken custody of a child or has authority to effect disposition of a child taken into custody:
(a) Release the child to the custody of a parent, guardian or other responsible person;
(b) Release the child on the child’s own recognizance when appropriate;
(c) Subject to ORS 419B.121 or 419B.180, place the child in shelter care or detention. The child shall be placed in shelter care rather than detention, unless the person has probable cause to believe that the court will be able to detain the child under ORS 419B.121; or
(d) Pursuant to order of the court made after the filing of a petition, hold, retain or place the child in shelter care subject to further order.
(2) If the child is released under subsection (1)(a) of this section, the person releasing the child shall inform the juvenile court. [1993 c.33 §69; 1993 c.546 §35]
