PURPOSE OF ORDER:

The purpose of this order is to establish procedures for the availability of gas masks for custody assistants when necessary.   

SCOPE OF ORDER:

This order shall apply to all personnel assigned to Pitchess Detention Center (PDC), North Facility.

ORDER:

The Dormitory Control Offices (DCO) and Main Control Offices (MCO) at PDC, North Facility are each equipped with one gas mask.  This gas mask is only to be used by personnel assigned to the DCO or MCO. 

Deputy personnel are each assigned their own personal gas mask by the Sheriff’s Department.  Custody assistants are not assigned a personal gas mask by the Department, but access to an available gas mask is the responsibility of the jail facility.  Adherence to this protocol will ensure the custody assistants assigned to the MCOs or DCOs will have proper protection from a nearby deployment of chemical agents.
