Allen Ball died at the Hāwera police station in the early hours of 1 June 2019.
The officers, who have name suppression, have all pleaded not guilty.
Senior Sergeant Kyle Davie was response manager for Hāwera in 2019.
In the High Court at New Plymouth today, Crown prosecutor Cherie Clarke asked Davie if there were any special care arrangement, especially at Hāwera, for heavily intoxicated detainees.
Davie said hospital care was an option. Depending on the circumstances. It may just require, if it s a heavily intoxicated person, getting an ambulance to come down and see them.
