Manteca Police Department Manteca PD Policy Manual Temporary Custody of Adults (f) Those in temporary custody are generally permitted to remain in their personal clothing unless it is taken as evidence or is otherwise unsuitable or inadequate for continued wear while in custody. (g) That a clean blanket is provided as required by the Prisoner Bedding subsection (h) Adequate shelter, heat, light and ventilation are provided without compromising security or enabling escape. 900.5.3 MEDICAL CARE First-aid equipment and basic medical supplies should be available to department members (15 CCR 1220). At least one member who has current certification in basic first aid and CPR should be on-duty at all times. The first-aid kit is stored in the Booking Room, inside the cabinet that is closest to the door that leads from the Booking Room to the hallway. The Property Officer is responsible for checking the kit regularly, no less than once a week, and restocking it as necessary.The inventory sheet inside the first-aid kit is not to be removed from the kit. Should a person in custody be injured or become ill, appropriate medical aid will be summoned. A supervisor should meet with those providing medical aid at the facility to allow access to the person. Members shall comply with the opinion of medical personnel as to whether an individual in temporary custody should be transported to the hospital. If the person is transported while still in custody, he/she will be accompanied by an officer. Those who require medication while in temporary custody should not be at the Manteca Police Department. They should be released or transferred to another facility as appropriate. 900.5.4 ORTHOPEDIC OR PROSTHETIC APPLIANCE Subject to safety and security concerns, individuals shall be permitted to retain an orthopedic or prosthetic appliance. However, if the member supervising the individual has probable cause to believe the possession of the appliance presents a risk of bodily harm to any person or is a risk to the security of the facility, the appliance may be removed from the individual unless its removal would be injurious to his/her health or safety. Whenever a prosthetic or orthopedic appliance is removed, the Watch Commander shall be promptly apprised of the reason. It shall be promptly returned when it reasonably appears that any risk no longer exists (Penal Code § 2656; 15 CCR 1207). 900.5.5 TELEPHONE CALLS Immediately upon being booked and, except where physically impossible, no later than three hours after arrest, an individual in custody has the right to make at least three completed calls to an attorney, bail bondsman, and a relative or other person (Penal Code § 851.5). Additional calls may be made as reasonable and necessary (15 CCR 1067). In providing further access to a telephone beyond that required by Penal Code § 851.5, legitimate law enforcement interests such as officer safety, effect on ongoing criminal investigations and logistics should be balanced against the individual's desire for further telephone access.
