If a court has reasonable grounds to believe that an individual:

1. (1) has a mental illness;
2. (2) is either dangerous or gravely disabled; and

3. (3) is in immediate need of hospitalization and treatment;

   the court may order a law enforcement officer to transport the individual to the nearest appropriate facility for a preliminary medical and psychological evaluation. The individual may not be transported to a state institution.
