Corr, Chief of Police <br /> <br />The Municipal Police Institute, Inc. (MPI) is a private, nonprofit charitable affiliate of <br />the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association. MPI provides training and model <br />policies and procedures for police agencies. This policy is an edited version of MPI <br />Policy 3.03 “Detainee Processing." <br /> <br />GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND GUIDELINES <br /> <br />This policy addresses processing of detainees from their arrival at the police station to <br />transfer or release. The actual detainment is addressed in the Department policy 72B- <br />Detainment of Prisoners. <br /> <br />During this stage the detainee is searched, advised of rights, photographed, may be <br />fingerprinted, and the custody is documented. In addition, the presence or lack of <br />injuries is documented, true identity may be validated, and the appropriateness and <br />timing of their release is determined. For those charged with a crime, a Master Name <br />entry is created for each arrest. <br /> <br />Processing of detainees is a critical step in the custody process. It is during this stage <br />that officers processing the detainee must take steps to ensure that the rights of the <br />detainee are advised and honored. An omission of this responsibility may result in <br />damage to the ability to prosecute the case, complaints against employees, or civil <br />liability against employees, supervisors and the municipality. <br /> <br />It is the policy of the Lexington Police Department to protect the constitutional rights of <br />detainees while protecting the safety of Department employees and detainees. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
