5-03/170.10 - Department Responsibilities



No member of this Department shall remove a prisoner committed to the County Jail system during that time when 4004 PC is in effect, except in compliance with a legal removal order.  The County jail system includes all Custody Division facilities and all Station facilities.

Any requests by outside agencies to interview, question or interrogate a prisoner remanded to the County jail system in any place other than the jail system shall be by court order only.

No member of this Department shall obtain or cause to be obtained a legal removal order without the expressed permission of his concerned Division Chief. Members of this Department may remove pre-arraigned prisoners from the jail system for routine investigative purposes; however, any removal of a prisoner in compliance with a request from state and federal agencies shall be by permission of the Chief of the concerned Division in which custody is maintained.

Notwithstanding, state and federal agencies are not to be restricted in the removal of their prisoners provided this Department has no jurisdiction.
