Policy on temporary holds

Dave43 — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:12:56 GMT

I would like to inquire with other departments regarding their policy on temporary custody holds and if any one would be able to share their policy with me. I interpret Temporary custody as housing Inmates for 1-4 hours pending bail. Any power point presentations of this topic would me most helpful.

Thanks

Inmate Manipulation

Sayjack — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 21:03:38 GMT

I'm look for some suggestions on some books that deal with inmate manipulation of staff, particularly Correctional Officers. I viewed a power point from the "shared files" section but was looking for something more substantial. Any online resources would be of great help also. Sayjack

Grant Sources

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department operates jail facilities located throughout the County of Los Angeles, which encompasses more than 4,000 square miles. Currently, in order to visit an inmate incarcerated in the jail system, family members must transport themselves to the facility where the inmate is located and wait in line for an opportunity to visit, which is not guaranteed in the “first-come-first-served” system. In some cases, families, including young children, must travel nearly 100 miles, arrive very early in the morning and wait in line for hours, never being sure they will even get to visit their loved one. A visit scheduling and reservation system would guarantee their visiting time and eliminate long waits in line. A video visiting system would allow them to visit an inmate located at a remote facility, from a local facility, or even their own home, eliminating long drives. Based on this, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department is exploring the possibility of obtaining grants funding to implement this project. Does anybody know of any grant sources that might fund such a project? Thanks in advance for your assistance. (This could have positive implications for ADA, Traffic Reduction, Mothers/Fathers with Children, the Elderly, etc.)

New and Innovative Intelligence Gathering and Sharing Program being Developed by SIMCO

jgunja — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 01:23:00 GMT

We at SIMCo specialize in the creation and development of innovative systems to enhance and improve the gathering and sharing of information and intelligence in a correctional setting. We also develop our product so it may be integrated into any correctional data system or intranet server, depending on the sophistication of the specific facility or organization.Research conducted in the U.S. revealed correctional administrators and executives are receiving from 5% - 8% of available intelligence and information from their staff, which indicates why there are so many serious and significant incidents in our correctional facilities at the local, state, and federal sector.

We ask you this: Are you satisfied with the information you are receiving so you are able to prevent problems in your facility or organization, pertaining to staff and inmate safety and security? Additionally, are you merely reacting and responding to problems, rather than preventing them? If you are not satisfied with your present and current systems, we at SIMCo can be of great and useful service for you at a reasonable price.

SIMCo is primarly managed and controlled by Joe Gunja, the Chief Operating Officer

Joe Gunja, spent over 31 years in law enforcement, with major emphasis in corrections. During his corrections career with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, he excelled from a Correctional Officer in 1980 to Warden and Regional Director, spanning 27+ years. He also developed and implemented several systems similar to PREVENT, which were highly successful and are presently being used in over 20 federal prisons.

The PREVENT Systam is a 3-prong system which will enhance your ability to maximize intelligence and information gathering, sharing, dissemination, and various counter strategies and preventive tactics, so you and your facility or organization are preventing significant incidents - rather than merely reacting and responding to them.1. Highly efficient and effecitve software and information systems 2. Innovative hardware technology 3. Superior education and training by seasoned correctional professionals

Our PREVENT System is simple:

It is a technical and managerial program to maximize intelligence-gathering and information sharing in correctional facilities, with the main intent to prevent and deter problems rather than reacting to them. PREVENT involves highly efficient information and software technology for data and information management, innovative hardware technology as a catalyst to report this information, and management principles so the system is totally embraced by all employees, and they are all meaningful partners and role players in the operation as it evolves in their facility or institution.

We are presently in the development stage, and final production and sales will be in April 2008.

Archiving DVR

Theron — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 22:55:22 GMT

I am the Operations Manager and will soon be developing policies around our new DVR /CCTV system. My question is what are the pros and cons of archiving? Or do you just let the DVR rewrite? If you do archive DVR footage how long do you save it 6 months, 1 year???
