2-09/055.00 Injured or Sick Inmates



Injured and/or sick inmates are only accepted if they are accompanied by documentation from a medical authority, stating that they are cleared for booking. Should it appear to lockup personnel that an inmate is in need of medical attention, and the arresting agency or Station has not provided a medical clearance, do not accept the inmate. Lockup personnel shall immediately contact the agency’s Watch Commander or the Station Watch Commander and ascertain the medical status of the individual. Stations and agencies may book sick or injured inmates at the Los Angeles County Medical Center Jail Wards. They must transport the inmates to that location.
