2006 New York Code - Proceedings Where Woman Is Arrested.

 
    §  14-132  Proceedings  where  woman  is arrested. Whenever a woman is
  arrested and taken to a police station, it shall  be  the  duty  of  the
  officer  in  command  of  the  station  to  cause  a female staff member
  assigned to this detail to be summoned forthwith, and whenever  a  woman
  is  arrested  in  any  precinct  in which no such female staff member is
  assigned, she shall be taken directly to the station house designated to
  receive the women prisoners of the precinct in which the arrest is made.
  Such separate confinement, or any such removal of any woman,  shall  not
  operate to take from any court any jurisdiction which it would have had.
  The  term  "woman"  as  used  in this section and section 14-131 of this
  title shall not include any female either actually or  apparently  under
  the  age  of  sixteen  years  whose  care is assumed by any incorporated
  society for the prevention of cruelty to children; but every such female
  detainee under the age of sixteen shall be taken directly to  a  station
  house  designated  to  receive  women  prisoners  and  shall  be at once
  transferred therefrom by the officer in charge, to the custody  of  such
  society.
