3-13-010 Lockdowns - Full or Modified

PURPOSE OF ORDER:

 

The purpose of this order is to establish procedures during a facility lockdown.

 

SCOPE OF ORDER: 

 

This order applies to all personnel assigned to, and/ or working at Men’s Central Jail (MCJ).

 

ORDER:

 

Lockdowns may be initiated for any situation necessary to maintain safety and security.

 

All non-essential personnel (e.g., medical staff, mechanics, school staff, chaplain staff, etc.) shall report to the nearest control booth for further instruction upon the initiation of any facility lockdown.  All sworn personnel shall promptly report to their duty station or respond to the incident location.

 

Once inmates have been secured, all floors shall conduct a roll call to account for all personnel assigned to that floor or work area.  Any missing personnel shall be reported to Main Control immediately. 

 

The watch commander, or ranking supervisor, holds ultimate responsibility to implement, continue, expand, or restrict a facility lockdown.  However, when the security of any portion of the facility is in jeopardy, any custody personnel may initiate a lockdown.  Immediate notification shall be made to Main Control personnel stating the reason and status of the situation.  The watch sergeant shall immediately make any additional notifications (e.g., Court Services, Custody Division, etc.) regarding the facility lockdown. 

 

MODIFIED LOCKDOWN

 

During a modified lockdown, inmate movement and/or facility access is limited.  However, normal operations for areas unaffected may be continued.  At the discretion of the watch commander, medical staff may be required to dispense medication by walking all rows, similar to the dispersal of medication in high-power housing.
