Policy Text
3.151 SEARCHING PRISONERS
When an arrest is affected, officers shall thoroughly search the
prisoner to ensure the safety of themselves as well as others.
Any contraband, evidence, fruits, or instrumentality of a crime,
unrelated to the arrest, but discovered incidental to a body
search, shall be seized and appropriate charges filed. Except in
emergency situations, officers shall be discreet in the search of
prisoners of the opposite sex so as to avoid claims of
impropriety.
