<br /> <br />Policy & Procedure Page 1 of 17 <br /> <br />Lexington Police <br />Department <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Detainment of Prisoners <br /> <br />Policy Number: <br /> 72B Accreditation Standards: <br />Reference: 70.3.2; 72.1.2; 72.4.1; 72.4.2; 72.4.5; 72.4.7; <br />72.4.10; 72.5.4; 72.5.5; 72.5.6; 72.5.7; 72.6.1; 72.6.5; 72.7.1; <br />72.8.1; 72.8.2; 72.8.3; 72.8.4; 72.8.5 <br />Effective Date: <br />10/1/12 <br /> New <br /> Revised <br /> <br />Revision <br />Dates: <br />1/24/19 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />By Order of: Mark J. Corr, Chief of Police <br /> The Municipal Police Institute, Inc. (MPI) is a private, nonprofit charitable affiliate of the <br />Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association. MPI provides training and model policies and <br />procedures for police agencies. This policy is an edited version of MPI Policy 3.04, “Detaining <br />Prisoners.” <br /> <br />The focus of this policy is the care, safety and security of detainees being held <br />in the custody of this Department. <br /> <br />While detainees are being held in police custody, their well-being is the <br />responsibility of the Department. Even though prisoners are normally housed for only <br />short periods of time, the environment of police lockups can become volatile and <br />emotionally charged, as evidenced by incidents of prisoner suicide and injury. Post- <br />arrest detention is a time when the emotional impact of the arrest becomes evident to <br />many prisoners. Particularly prone to actions which may cause injury to themselves <br />or others are persons with mental illness, persons who are intoxicated due to drug or <br />alcohol use, drug addicts, and persons who have open cases and arrest warrants <br />against them. Strict adherence to procedures governing the monitoring of prisoners <br />and the bringing of weapons and tools into the cellblock area is necessary to ensure <br />facility security and prisoner well-being. <br /> <br />It is the policy of this Department to operate the holding facility in a manner that <br />ensures detainee and officer safety and protects the constitutional rights of detainees. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
