Topic: The Club House / 12 Hour Shifts

We have a simple 12hr shift that we follow and all our staff seem to like it very much.
We run two shifts that are fixed days and nights, two shifts that rotate from days to nights and back every two months. The staff on the rotating shifts are the ones that decided to rotate every two months.
the hours are 7am to 7pm and vise versa. 3 days on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off. Every other weekend is a three day weekend Friday, Sat, Sun.

We also do “unclothed” searches at various times when looking for new tattoos or injuries if a fight or assault is suspected.

This procedure is what I have been using, but I was looking for some type of formal training in CIT or even negotiation training.

Thanks

Does anyone out there know of a good class given in CIT directly or indirectly related to talking a suicide attempt down?
Thanks.

The policy in our Facility is if the inmate is going to be housed past the booking area, they must have an unclothed search completed on them.If someone is going to book & release (as we call it) we just place them in a holding cell and wait for their bond or bail to arrive.
This is not only for contraband, but to look for injuries that may have occured during the arrest, to have a witness to the prisoner’s condition at booking in case they claim abuse by officer at a later time, etc. We also to unclothed searches on any prisoner that leaves the secured perimeter for any reason. Even if it is to walk across the hall to an interrogation. We never know if the inmate slips something into his waist band or sock as he walks by a desk or trash can.
You can never be too cautious or safe.
