When transporting inmates classified as informants (K-9), they should be transported in a vehicle separate from the party(s) they are providing information on, whenever possible.
When we have a court order requiring that the informant be trans-ported in a separate vehicle, the court order shall be honored in every case. When the informant will be late arriving at court be-cause separate transportation is not immediately available, notify the court and give the reason.
The Security Deputy shall ensure that informants are properly segregated when transported to and from court and/or facilities.
Crews and desk personnel shall not modify this order for purposes of expediency.
