If the prisoner is violent, two or more officers may be used to transport. This method of transportation should only be used after other methods have been eliminated as unfeasible. If the officer is transporting a juvenile or a member of the opposite sex, the officer will give the dispatcher the beginning and ending mileage. The officer will ensure that the booking report is completed before taking the prisoner into the detention facility. The officer will give all documentation to the booking officer.
All prisoners are to be taken to the intake area.
The transporting officer will notify the detention facility if the prisoner is known to be ill or injured and, if so, what medical treatment has been provided. The correctional officer will also be advised if the prisoner is suicidal. The handcuffs will be removed at the direction of the booking officer. If the prisoner is being transported to another detention facility a commitment order must be completed by the judge and must accompany the prisoner along with any personal property. The officer will ensure that the prisoner returns any property belonging to the detention facility.
