CUSTODY or make an arrest? What do you mean by custody? If he is picking somebody up it requires a judges order (warrant), and for a judge to sign a warrant, the police have to provide the judge with probable cause. An officer can make take someone into custody if a probation officer reports a probation violation or if the officer witnesses the person committing the crime.

If an office doesn't follow proper procedure, has to answer to the court as to why he did what he did. There are checks and balances that help prevent violations of these rules, in most cases.

Can an officer take a person in custody without a custody order when involuntary committed?

The question potentially touches on several areas and needs more clarity. HOWEVER: I will make an attempt to cover all possibilities - - An officer can take someone into custody even if they do not have the custody order with them at the time. The mere knowledge that the custody order exists is sufficient to make the arrest. Involuntary commitment: is a power granted to only certain members of the medical, public safety, and law enforcement communities. One may be taken into custody for involuntary commitment only under certain circumstances, those (usually) being that the individual is exhibiting behavior that is clearly dangerous to themselves or to others. These involuntary commitment laws are known by different names in different states but usually call for the subject taken into custody to immediately be brought to a place of examination and committed for psychiatric evaluation for a period not exceeding (?? hours/days) (varies by state). The officer making the commitment must swear to an affidavit that they DID observe the committed person's behavior and that it did rise to the level required to make the commitment. The officer must then swear to the truthfulness of the affidavit and sign it. (Very similar to a warrant application.)
