The Correct Procedure for a Visual Search

5
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,400
So what'chyou been doing all week?

6
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,400
Well, I've been doing some babysitting, and uh

7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,400
Yeah, there's a family down the street...

8
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,400
...but after practice he's not coming home.

9
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,400
Can you tell if he's doing anything? He's coming drunk?

10
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,400
I don't know. His behavior's a little strange. You know?

11
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,400
Ladies and gentlemen, visiting hours are now over.

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,400
You'll have to depart.

13
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,400
Yeah, he's okay.

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,400
He's okay?

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,400
Yeah, he's alright.

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,400
C'mon in.

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,400
You're about to see the correct way to conduct

20
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,400
a strip or visual search.

20
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,400
First, the initial verbal command is important. 

21
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,400
It makes a difference.

22
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,400
Be professional.

23
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,400
Alright, Jones. Come with me for a strip search.

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,400
Aw, man. I don't have anything on me.

25
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,400
C'mon, you know the routine.

26
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,400
Next, conduct the search in private if possible.

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,400
Okay, let's empty those pockets. Got anything in your pockets?

28
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,400
Be sure the contents of the pockets are placed out of reach.

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Take off your clothing, please.

30
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,400
Place the clothes out of reach.

31
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,400
Watch the inmate at all times.

32
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,400
This is a most vulnerable moment.

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,400
You've just asked someone to undress in front of you.

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,400
Proper, courteous verbal commands are essential.

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,400
Okay, tilt your head down.

36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,400
Vigorously run your fingers through here for me.

37
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,400
Look carefully. Remember,<br>[Background dialog: Back and forth]

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,400
a small envelope, key, or papers may be 

39
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,400
taped to the scalp of the convict?.<br>[Background dialog: Get up?]

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,400
Okay.

41
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,400
Be sure nothing is in the hair.

42
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,400
Okay, let's take a look at your ears.

43
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,400
Pull your ear forward for me.

44
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Okay, a little bit up.

45
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,400
Okay.

46
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,400
Okay.

47
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Other side.

48
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,400
It helps to explain what you're doing
[Background: Okay]

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,400
so it's not to unnecessarily startle an already anxious inmate.

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,400
I'll check inside your ears.

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,400
Okay, other side.

52
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,400
Be sure nothing is in the ears.

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Capsules and tiny containers have been found.

54
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,400
Okay. Put your head back for me, please.

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,400
Look in your nose.

56
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,400
Capsules, containers, and even small hacksaw blades

57
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,400
have been found in the nasal passages.

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,400
Look carefully for anything unusual.

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,400
Any dentures? Any dental work?

60
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,400
No.

61
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,400
Okay. Open your mouth.

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,400
Okay, wide.

63
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,400
Okay, stick your tongue up.

64
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Okay, stick it out.

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,400
Okay, lower your lower lip.

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,400
Pull it out and lower it down.

67
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,400
Good.

68
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,400
Okay, the upper lip.

69
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,400
That's good.

70
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,400
Okay, good.

71
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,400
Notice the officer does not touch the inmate.

72
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,400
He only directs the search.

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,400
Remember, a calm, professional attitude is important.

74
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Keep in mind you're ordering a naked person to obey you.

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,400
Be clear, alert, direct, and civil.

76
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,400
Okay, stick your hands out forward for me please.

77
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,400
Your arms.

78
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Okay, fingers wide.

78
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,400
Okay, turn them over very slowly.

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Let's take a look at those fingernails.

80
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,400
Look for contraband hidden under the fingernails.

81
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,400
Check for puncture marks or anything unusual.

82
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Keep this in mind during the entire search.

83
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,400
Bring your hands up for me.

84
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Okay, good.

85
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,400
Check the armpits. Take your time. Look carefully.

86
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,400
Okay, bring 'em down.

87
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,400
Okay, let's spread your legs.

88
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,400
A little bit wider. Okay.

89
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,400
Okay, lift your penis for me, please.

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Okay, testicles.

91
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,400
If he's un-circumcised, ask him to pull back the foreskin.

92
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,400
Be professional and alert.

93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,400
Remember, the inmate is feeling very vulnerable.

94
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,400
Visually, check the front of the legs,

95
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,400
down to the feet and toes.

96
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Let's turn around.

97
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,400
Okay, lift your right leg up for me, please.

98
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,400
Take a look at those feet.

99
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,400
Wiggle those toes for me.

100
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,400
Narcotics, stabbing instruments, notes, wire, and money

101
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,400
have all been found taped to the soles of the feet or under the toes.

102
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,400
Okay, check your back.

103
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,400
Look at the neck, back, spinal area,

104
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,400
and buttocks, where puncture marks may be evident.

105
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,400
Okay, bend forward for me, please.

106
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,400
and spread your buttocks.

107
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,400
Look for anything inserted. Observe any constricting of 

108
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,400
the rectal muscles which may indicate 

109
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,400
the inmate is straining to retain something.

110
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,400
You may see a thin string indicating something is there.

111
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,400
If you have any suspicion, 

112
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,400
ask the inmate to squat and cough deeply,

113
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,400
which could dislodge it.

114
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,400
If you're still suspicious,

115
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,400
call for a medical search.

116
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,400
You're not authorized to make any intrusion

117
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,400
into the inmate's body orifices.

118
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,400
A medical search is only conducted by medical personnel.

119
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,400
That's good.

120
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,400
Alright you can stand up while I check your clothes.

121
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,400
Finally, run the handheld metal detector

122
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,400
around the inmate's body.

123
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,400
Then, search the clothes in great detail.

124
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,400
Remember to pay close attention to seams

125
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,400
and double-folds of cloth.

126
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,400
Show consideration by searching underclothing

127
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,400
and socks first, and returning

128
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,400
them to the inmate.

129
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,400
Go ahead and put this on.

130
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,400
Remember, do not deviate from what is appropriate and professional.

131
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,400
Keep the inmate in view at all times.

132
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,400
Strip searches are always done gender on gender.

133
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,400
Except in extreme emergency,

134
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,400
a female always strip-searches a female,

135
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,400
and a male strip-searches a male.

136
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,400
A female is searched the same way as a male with two exceptions.

137
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,400
I need you to take your earrings off. Any bands,

138
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,400
any body pins, clips out of your hair,

139
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,400
and take your clothes off.

140
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,400
The first is to ask the inmate to remove all clips

141
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,400
hair ornaments, bands, or hair pieces.

142
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,400
These should be carefully searched.

143
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,400
The second exception is the female breast area.

143
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,400
I need you to lift your breast.

144
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,400
Inmates must be asked to lift their breasts

145
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,400
if you cannot see completely under them.

146
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,400
Watch that the inmate's hand does not cover

147
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,400
contraband taped under the larger breast.

148
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,400
Okay, you can drop them.

149
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,400
The rest of the search is exactly as demonstrated for a male inmate.

150
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,400
However, obese inmates, whether male or female

151
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,400
should be asked to lift or part folds of skin

152
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,400
that you cannot see between.

153
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,400
In summary, for a correct strip search procedure,

154
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,400
remember that your initial verbal command 

155
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,400
makes a difference.

156
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,400
Be professional. Be systematic.

157
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,400
Stay alert.

158
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,400
Watch the inmate at all times.

158
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,400
Don't touch the inmate.

159
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,400
Just direct the search.

160
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,400
If you suspect internal contraband,

161
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,400
call for a medical search.

162
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,400
Most important, take your time, and keep alert.

163
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,400
Your life could depend on it.
