Deployment of “Triple Chaser” CS Gas Canisters:
Every Deputy working on the yard crew shall be issued and carry one “Triple Chaser” can of CS gas while conducting inmate yard. The deputy working in the tower will be issued one bag containing three (3) extra cans of “Triple Chaser” CS gas. In addition, every deputy working in the yard shall carry their issued gas mask at all times, while yard is being conducted.
Use of “Triple Chaser” CS Gas Canisters:
The “Triple Chaser” CS gas canisters are deployed to be readily available for the yard deputies to use in case of a major disturbance in the yard. The use of the CS gas is at the Watch Commander’s discretion and is to only be used with his approval.
