Bailiffs shall immediately initiate an emergency broadcast by radio or the Court Security Alarm System (Ai-Phone) informing the branch office of the situation. A description of the escapee, the charge the inmate was being held on and a direction of travel shall be the primary broadcast by the bailiff. The bailiff shall then secure any remaining custodies and proceed to pursue the escapee(s). During a pursuit, the pursuing deputies shall continually broadcast the last known location or any sighting of the individual.
Lockup personnel shall immediately return all custodies to the main lockup and secure them. If the escape is from lockup personnel, they shall immediately broadcast an alarm by radio, or other means available, relaying the same information that a bailiff would. An Unarmed Deputy Who Chooses to Pursue an Escapee Shall Use Extreme Caution.
Deputies present in the lockup shall not leave the lockup unattended to pursue an escapee.
The branch supervisor shall initiate the Court Security Contingency Plan. Escapes of county custodies shall be investigated by the Jail Investigations Unit. Notification regarding the escape shall be made to the watch sergeant at IRC or CRDF.
