Prisoner Transport Systems And Essential Tips For Officers

By Leticia Jensen


Long ago, horses and wagons were used to transport prisoners. Some countries are still trying to use these modes of transportation today. In the current time, police departments worldwide have used retrofitted automobiles to safely transfer their prisoners to different correctional institutions.

Speaking about security tools, most prisoner transport systems have used bullet proof glasses, meshed windows, and segregated compartments. There may also be a separate compartment for officers who are escorting them. This is enabled to protect officers from unexpected escapes and the danger of getting isolated from assisting police force while transporting them.

Security technology is also now implemented in many prisoner vehicles. Few to mention would be advanced weapons, DVR cameras, global positioning, and radio communications which are connected to the headquarters. These premiere technologies will help officers transfer convicted people easily and safely.

Usually, convict transportation vehicles are provided by the criminal justice department. They can be spending millions to maintain these for the safety of the public. However, some states have already partnered with private companies to provide them with these services. This can help them cope with budget cuts and delegate tasks to providers so they can optimize their public services.

Private prisoner vehicles will have to go through different testing stages for compliance. These ensures that these vehicles can securely transport prisoners with confidence. These might be checked for space and breathability for a number of prisoners inside. The other checklists would be on the mechanical capacity of the automobile.

Moreover, convict transportation is a difficult job to do. There have been officers getting hurt and prisoners getting harassed in the past. This is the reason part of this writing is about how to securely transport a convict. Below are the details how to do such.

Starting with, searching the convict even if the last police officers have done so is a wise thing. It is not about distrusting other officers but making sure there are no weapons hidden by the person that will endanger the life of everyone. It is also important have the correct body position when doing it to prevent a prisoner from snatching your gun.

Next, follow non disclosure and do not befriend these people. They may not be considered enemies but some of them could have the motivation to escape. This motivation will often lead them to do things you did not expect. Stay professional and do not answer questions about your family or personal life.

Lastly, no matter what happens do not stop the vehicle. This will risk your life for a possible ambush or a possible escape. Before you leave, get everything ready and prepared. If you are hungry, keep a brown bag of food. In addition, do not stop even if prisoners will tell you they need to urinate without back up.Worst comes to worst, if they are about to have a heart attack, wait for reinforcement or backup for assistance before doing anything. Letting a split of a second decide between life and death is not a good move.
