The Security Officer should continue to give verbal commands to the inmates to sit down, i.e., "If you do not stop fighting and sit down, you will be sprayed with pepper spray." The Security Officer should attempt to identify the inmates involved in the disturbance.
All interior lights are to remain on in the vehicle.
