Application - Pre-Petition Detention {3-4}

Form 3-4 - APPLICATION -PRE-PETITION DETENTION. This is a New York Family Court form used by the agency operating a juvenile detention facility to request the court’s authorization to detain a youth before a delinquency petition is filed, under F.C.A. § 307.4. It captures custody details, alleged acts, the reason detention is necessary (risk of non-appearance and/or risk of committing a crime), and required best-interest and reasonable-efforts findings, with checkboxes for supporting reports or evaluations. The application concludes with a verification by an authorized agency representative. Filed in the Family Court of the county where the youth is held, it seeks an order detaining the child pending further proceedings. www.FormsWorkflow.com
