POLICY
Hard restraints, such as handcuffs, waist chains and leg irons are a costly and
necessary part of Detention Bureau equipment. Recognizing that the safety of our staff
and the public is directly related to an adequate supply of hardware, bureau personnel
will ensure that bureau hardware is managed in a manner that contributes to the overall
efficiency and wellbeing of the entire bureau.
No department employee will take, acquire, procure, borrow, or otherwise possess, any
article of Detention Bureau hardware for exclusive use of himself, his workstation,
section or division, without the express written approval of the Detention Bureau Chief
Deputy.
