A qualified officer, which includes any California peace officer, as well as any specifically designated county clinician, can request the confinement after signing a written declaration. When used as a term, 5150 can informally refer to the person being confined or to the declaration itself.
The 5150 hold may be written out on Form MH 302, Application for 72 Hour Detention for Evaluation and Treatment
