Connecticut General Statutes Title 46B. Family Law § 46b-144. Religious faith. Service of commitment process

In committing a child or youth to a custodial agency, other than such child's or youth's natural guardians, the court shall, as far as practicable, select as such agency some person of like faith to that of the parent or parents of the child or youth or some agency or institution governed by persons of such faith, unless such agency or institution is a state or municipal agency or institution. In the order of committal, the court shall designate some indifferent person to serve the commitment process, and such indifferent person may be accompanied by any suitable relative or friend of such child or youth. If the person designated to serve such commitment process is an officer, such officer shall not serve such commitment process while dressed in the uniform of any police officer, and no such officer shall, while serving any such commitment process, wear plainly displayed any police officer's badge.
