903.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to outline the organization, management, and administration of the
Garden Grove Police Department's temporary holding facility. A temporary holding facility is for
the confinement of persons for 24 hours or less pending release, transfer to another facility, or
appearance in court.
903.2 MANAGEMENT OF THE HOLDING FACILITY
The maintenance of the holding facility is the responsibility of the Division Lieutenant, who
oversees the jail. Any problems with the facility or contents thereof shall be reported to the
jail administration consultant who will then notify the Division Lieutenant via intra-departmental
memorandum.
The day-to-day operation of the temporary holding facility is the responsibility of the Allied
Universal Jail Manager. The Jail Manager is responsible for overseeing security, arrestee
accounting, and control inside the holding facility. The on-duty Patrol Sergeant and/or Division
Lieutenant will have departmental accountability for the temporary holding facility.
903.3 SECURITY
Security within the holding facility is a paramount concern to the organization. To ensure that a
high level of security is maintained, only authorized department personnel and Allied Universal
personnel are allowed access to the temporary holding facility. Authorized personnel shall include
sworn officers, sworn and non-sworn personnel directed to search an arrestee, and all persons
authorized by an on-duty supervisor, Allied Universal Jail Manager, or the Jail Administration
Consultant. The only exceptions are individuals authorized to make necessary repairs and
department authorized tours. Tours should only be scheduled after authorization has been
obtained by the Division Lieutenant and notification made to the Jail Manager. Prior to entering
the Temporary Holding Facility, all non-sworn personnel will request access via the intercom.
903.4 ARRESTEE ACCOUNTABILITY
The on-duty Allied Universal jailers are responsible for arrestee accountability while the individual
is housed in the Garden Grove Police Department temporary holding facility. This is necessary
for the safety of the arrestees, department members, Allied Universal jailers, and the facility.
903.5 ARRESTEE RECORDS
Arrestee records/information are confidential in nature. This information shall be kept secured and
not released to unauthorized persons.
