“It occurred without any law enforcement intervention, and for the public that’s a good thing,” said Capt. Sharyn Buck, commander of the North Hollywood police station, which covers the area where Spears’ home is located.

“There was no media, no paparazzi, and no need for public safety protection,” Buck said.

The troubled singer was hospitalized on Jan. 31 after being taken to UCLA Medical Center in an ambulance that was provided an extensive police escort.

A Superior Court commissioner subsequently placed Spears and her estate under conservatorship. Her father, James, was named conservator of Spears, and he and attorney Andrew Wallet were made co-conservators of the estate.

A conservatorship is created after a judge determines a person can no longer care for themselves or their personal affairs.

As her conservator, Spears’ father has been granted access to all of her medical records and authority to determine where Spears lives and who she sees.

Spears, who is in a child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, was also briefly hospitalized earlier in January after police were called to her home when she refused to return her sons to a Federline bodyguard after a visit. That trip to the hospital occurred amid a swarm of paparazzi.

Spears has since lost all visitation rights.
