PURPOSE OF ORDER:
The purpose of this unit order is to establish procedures for the replacement of inmate
wristbands.
SCOPE OF ORDER:
This order applies to all personnel assigned to and/or working at the North County
Correctional Facility (NCCF).
ORDER:
Inmate Processing Area (IPA) personnel shall inspect each arriving inmate’s wristband to ensure it is legible, properly fastened, fitted and secured to the inmate’s wrist, and in good condition. Any inmate who cannot be identified due to a wristband problem (e.g., removed, lost, illegible, altered, etc.) shall not be accepted (refer to Unit Order #07-105/00).
When it is necessary to positively identify an inmate due to a damaged, removed, or missing wristband, NCCF personnel shall use the L.A. Photo Manager application. All NCCF sergeants, supervising line deputies, and infirmary deputies have been authorized access to this application and shall ensure they are familiar with its use.
All personnel who access the L.A. Photo Manager application to positively identify an inmate due to a damaged, removed, or missing wristband shall enter “WRISTBAND REPLACEMENT” for the L.A. Photo Manager search reason (refer to the L.A. Photo Manager guide posted on the NCCF Infirmary’s web page).
A wristband inspection shall be conducted during the 2030 hour wristband count (refer to Unit Order #07-035/00). Any inmate found with a damaged, inaccurate, or unserviceable wristband shall be identified. Immediately after counting, the identified inmates shall be removed from their respective dorms and placed in a dayroom.
PM shift deputies shall make new wristbands for these inmates and leave them for the EM shift. The EM shift deputies' first responsibility shall be to issue new wristbands to these inmates and return them to their dorms. This procedure should be performed from one of the staff stations.
When an inmate is found without a wristband or has a completely illegible wristband, they shall be properly identified via the L.A. Photo Manager application. If identification cannot be made, the inmate shall be transferred via the first available transportation to IRC for positive identification.
All wristbands, colored cards, tools, and plastic locking clasp which are not in use shall be secured in a locked cabinet in the sergeant's office of each building.
