Before the juvenile court commits a delinquent child to the custody of a state facility for the detention of children, the court must find that:
1. Appropriate alternatives that could satisfactorily meet the needs of the child do not exist in the community or were previously used to attempt to meet such needs and proved unsuccessful; and
2. The child poses a public safety risk based on the child’s risk of reoffending, as determined by a risk assessment conducted pursuant to NRS 62E.506, any history of delinquency and the seriousness of the offense committed by the child.
