These procedures are to be implemented during any civil disturbance, emergency situation, and/or pre -planned event where lawful mass arrests may occur in order to safeguard life and protect property. 901.2 BOOKING FACILITIES The PSF Jail is the primary booking facility for processing mass arrests. This facility has the necessary amenities to implement a large- scale arrest plan. If circumstances arise such that the PSF Jail is not a feasible option or that a site in addition to PSF Jail is required, the following areas should be considered as viable locations to establish a temporary Emergency Field Booking Site: (a) The Airport Interim Open Space Lot – Contact the Airport Administrator/Airport Operations (b) Barker Hanger Lo t (c) Airport Administrative Building – Contact the Airport Administrator/Airport Operations (d) Memorial Park In the event of an unplanned and rapidly evolving incident, the Incident Commander or designee may use the Airport PSOs’ access to the Airport Administration Building and gates. If the event is planned, the Planning/Logistics team will contact the Airport Administrator or Airport Operations to inquire about the availability of space at the Airport. 901.3 TRANSPORTATION The Santa Monica Jail has one jail van that can seat twelve (12) persons. A situation involving mass arrests would require the Department to secure vehicles with more seating capacity. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) buses are ideal as they are secured forms of transportation. If this is not feasible, the Department will request buses from Big Blue Bus (BBB). Whenever possible a BBB bus used for transportation in connection with a mass arrest shall be driven by a member of the Mobile Command Post driving cadre with the appropriate license and training. If no such mem ber is available, a request shall be made to BBB for a designated BBB motor coach operator to drive the BBB bus. Booking buses should be staffed with a minimum of two sworn officers (one on the bus and one in a follow vehicle), a custody officer, and the bus driver. If a LASD bus is used, LASD will provide security for the bus. The Logistics Commander will coordinate transportation resources by contacting the LASD Emergency Operations Bureau. BBB transport vans and drivers will be coordinated by BBB Safety and the Training Manager . Policy 901 Copyright Lexipol, LLC 2021/07/29, All Rights Reserved.
