OVERVIEW AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Our new Plumas County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Division Policies &
Procedures manual is the product of cooperation between Sergeants,
Correctional Officers and Specialty Coordinators. This manual does not supersede any
Plumas County Sheriff’s Office Manual of Policy & Procedure, rather it defines matters strictly pertaining to the operations of our Correctional Facilities. Each member of the Corrections Division is encouraged to be familiar with both manuals.
The Policy & Procedure Committee used a combination of resources in creating
this manual. Source materials included; the Plumas County Sheriff’s Policy &
Procedure Manual; California Title 15; Corrections Standards Authority (C.S.A.)
inspection documents; Standards and Training in Corrections (S.T.C.); California Penal Codes; other Correctional Agencies; and the previous Corrections
Manual.
The Plumas County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Manual is a living document.
Corrections staff are encouraged to submit suggestions for changes to existing
policy, as well as development of new policies. Regular updates will occur and
yearly reviews have been scheduled.
Many dedicated people were involved in the research and development of this
document and the Plumas County Sheriff’s Administration would like to express
their appreciation.
First, the Plumas County Sheriff’s Administration would like to thank the many
office rs and staff that took the time to participate in this important project.
Because of your efforts, this manual reflects the philosophy and operational
approach of Plumas County Sheriff’s Office in managing and providing vital law
enforcement services to our community.
