PURPOSE OF ORDER:
To establish the policy for staff meals on all shifts.
SCOPE OF ORDER:
All personnel assigned to Pitchess Detention Center (PDC) South Facility.
ORDER:
The officer’s dining room (ODR), is designed to provide meals to personnel assigned to custody. Any employee whose primary assignment is not custody but is a county employee or a contracted employee, and who is conducting business in a custody facility, may utilize the ODR. There is no charge for the meal, but each employee is entitled to only one meal per shift. On-duty employees shall appropriately complete the Out Of Security Log when leaving for and returning from the ODR. All on-duty personnel are subject to immediate recall to duty at the direction of the watch commander.
Personnel shall limit the amount of food ordered to the amount they are able to consume in one meal. Personnel shall not remove food from the ODR without written permission from the unit commander. Refer to CDM section 3-16/000.00, "Officers Dining Room."
The ODR will be open for meals between specific times during each shift. These times shall be established by the unit commander and shall not be deviated from unless exigent circumstances exist.
Employees may bring food from home. However, any staff member who brings in canned food, bottled drinks, or any other food container, made of a material that is contraband, is personally responsible for its disposal in a contraband container.
