202.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to ensure the safety and security of the facility through the application
of appropriate staffing levels.
202.2 POLICY
It is the policy of this facility to provide for the safety and security of citizens, staff and incarcerated
persons through appropriate staffing levels that are sufficient to operate the facility and perform
functions related to the safety, security, custody, and supervision of incarcerated persons.
202.3 SUPERVISION OF INCARCERATED PERSONS
There shall be, at all times, sufficient staff designated to remain in the facility for the supervision
and welfare of incarcerated persons, to ensure the implementation and operation of all programs
and activities as required by Title 15 CCR Minimum Jail Standards, and to respond to emergencies
when needed. Such staff must not leave the facility while incarcerated persons are present and
should not be assigned duties that could conflict with the supervision of incarcerated persons (15
CCR 1027).
When a person from each gender is being held at this facility, a minimum of one correctional officer
from each gender should be always on-duty in the jail.
Staff members shall not be placed in positions of responsibility for the supervision and welfare
of incarcerated persons of the opposite gender in circumstances that can be described as an
invasion of privacy or that may be degrading or humiliating to the incarcerated persons.
To the extent reasonably practicable, incarcerated person bathrooms will preserve privacy without
creating areas that cannot be properly supervised.
The Jail Administrator or the authorized designee shall be responsible for developing staffing plans
to comply with this policy. Records of staff deployment should be maintained in accordance with
established records retention schedules (Penal Code § 4021; 15 CCR 1027).
202.4 SEPARATION OF DUTIES
Maintenance personnel are employed to perform preventive, routine, and emergency
maintenance functions. Custody staff will not be given physical plant maintenance duties that
distract from their primary responsibility of supervising incarcerated persons.
