Prisoner Control, Search and Transport - 2.5 Day

Instructor: George Perez

Duration: 2.5 days

Professional Development Hours: 20 PD hours

Cost: $475.00

Course Overview

This comprehensive training program addresses critical gaps in prisoner transport operations by emphasizing decision-making and liability reduction rather than tactics alone. Law enforcement agencies nationwide encounter serious challenges including in-custody deaths resulting from inadequate transport procedures, prisoner escapes during routine movements, civil litigation under 42 U.S.C. ยง1983, and preventable Internal Affairs investigations. This course is specifically designed to fill the void left by traditional training that focuses solely on restraint techniques, search procedures, and prisoner movement without preparing officers to make legally defensible decisions or recognize liability risks.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will develop competency in the following critical areas:

  • Making legally sound decisions throughout transport operations
  • Preventing in-custody deaths and medical emergencies
  • Recognizing and managing high-risk transport scenarios
  • Applying Department of Justice expectations and CALEA standards in practical situations
  • Clearly articulating and defending actions during Internal Affairs investigations and legal proceedings
  • Understanding the balance between effective control and duty of care obligations

Course Focus

Rather than teaching tactics, this program concentrates on risk reduction and sound decision-making in the most dangerous functions law enforcement personnel perform. The training equips officers with the knowledge to protect themselves, minimize organizational liability, enhance operational effectiveness, and strengthen their ability to defend their actions in court. The curriculum prepares personnel for inevitable challenges by ensuring they possess the judgment and preparedness necessary to respond appropriately when critical situations arise.
