    Study Notes

    Security Escorts: Procedures and Guidelines

    • Security Assessment Reviews (SARs): SARs are conducted to determine if a Threat Risk Assessment (TRA) is required. Factors considered include escape risk, duty to warn, gang affiliation, specialized handling needs (e.g., current management plan), and deportation status.

    • SAR Documentation: Findings from SARs are documented in an Offender Management System (OMS) Memo to File, authorized by the Deputy Warden.

    • Escort Staff Ratios: Escort teams must follow specific officer-to-inmate ratios. Single-compartment vehicles require two officers for the first inmate, plus one additional officer for each subsequent inmate. Multiple compartment vehicles use the highest compartment occupancy, applying the two-officers-plus-one-per-inmate ratio. A minimum of three officers are usually needed for single-inmate compartments.

    • Officer Qualifications: At least one escorting officer must be of the same sex as the inmate. Armed officers are required for male inmates. Female inmate escorts require a Primary Worker and an armed officer (Correctional Officer or Police Officer) if an armed escort is necessary.

    • TRA Alerts and Updates: OMS TRA Alerts are used to track inmates requiring updated TRAs for each escort. The Security Intelligence Officer enters and deactivates these alerts, providing an updated list for reference.

    • Frequency of SARs: SARs occur at least yearly and whenever new security information emerges that affects escort requirements.

    • Inmate Arrival and Initial Assessments: All new inmates are assessed for SAR completion upon arrival. Inactive SAR inmates may require TRAs for escorts.

    • Escort Briefing: Escort Briefing forms (CSC/SCC 0753) and current TRAs (if applicable) are provided for escorts involving multiple teams, and are to be provided to all escorting officers. Briefings detail inmate information and supervision level.

    • Vehicle & Equipment Standards: Approved vehicles and equipment (weaponry) must be used for all armed escorts. Escorting Officers must be briefed about approved equipment and trained in its use. Vehicles must be secure.

    • Officer in Charge (OIC) Responsibilities: The OIC ensures all documentation is present, files are transferred to the receiving team, vehicles are inspected, security equipment is verified, and inmate searches are conducted according to procedures (CD 566-7). Restraints are checked periodically for tightness or tampering, and are rechecked when out of sight and sound. Traffic regulations apply.

    • Restraint Equipment: Maximum security inmates usually require two types of restraint equipment, except in high-risk situations where rapid movement is necessary. Medium security inmates typically need at least one type. The highest security inmate's classification determines restraints for the whole group. Pregnant inmates are restrained only as a last resort.

    • High Risk Escorts: If a TRA identifies an elevated risk of external attack, the Emergency Response Team and local police are required to assist.

    • Medical Escorts: Air ambulance escorts must comply with Canadian Aviation Security regulations. Arrangements with hospitals for escort staff location and security equipment are created when possible. OIC informs hospital staff about the inmate and escort details. Staff will handle restraints considerations for operating rooms and recoveries.

    • Inmate Notification: Next of kin are notified in cases of life-threatening medical issues or significant changes to the inmate's status. The Correctional Manager briefs them about the situation.

    • Private Vehicles: Private vehicles are restricted unless authorized by the Institutional Head for emergencies where other transport is unavailable.

    • Washroom Procedures: Washrooms used by inmates must be searched before use, with only one inmate allowed at a time.

    • Emergency Situations: Escorting officers are briefed for medical emergencies, where ambulance departure takes priority.
