Suspicious Packages/Suspected Explosive Device: (Facility procedures) Dealing► With People: There are several basic guidelines for dealing with people, which are mostly common sense: Be polite and tactful. Use titles, such as "Mr.," "Mrs.," and "Ms." Say "sir" and "ma'am," and "please" and "thank you" when you address people. Use proper English when speaking to people. Speak clearly and at a well - modulated tone. Do not mutter or say things under your breath. Never use profanity, inappropriate slang, or disrespectful language while you are on duty. Do not use inappropriate gestures when speaking to people. Always remain calm, no matter how much you are provoked. Do not show anger or impatience with people. Never argue with people. Your physical demeanor is crucial. If you are at a post that requires you to stand) do not slouch or lean against walls, desks, or security equipment. If you are at a post with a seat, do not slouch and do not put your legs up on desks or equipment. Never rest your head on your hands, which gives people the impression that you are sleeping or bored and not serious about your duties. Be observant at all times, and take notes of unusual incidents or events that cause concern. If you are assigned to the same facility for a long period of time, you can be a valuable source of intelligence in the event a crime or serious incident occurs. When you obtain information for a report, get all the facts as soon as possible and be open-minded when observing them. Only use the minimum amount of force necessary to control a situation There are six handcuff rules to follow: Use of Force: 1. Handcuffs will be provided to officers that pass the required training. 2. Handcuffs will never be used as a weapon. 3. Always double lock handcuffs 4. Always document the use of handcuffs and the reason for use in your narrative 5. Never handcuff a subject to any fixtures or structures to prevent escape. 6. Be careful not to place the handcuffs on the subject too tightly, as this may cause injury to their wrists. You should only detain a person when necessary and with the minimum level of force needed to control the situation. Always identify yourself before detaining a subject. Suppose you are working as a uniformed officer. In that case, you should always have the police detain or arrest subjects if there is no immediate threat of danger to yourself, clients, client representatives, or client customers. No head or neck holds. Force should not be used to detain a subject unless personal or another's safety is at risk. Should contraband be discovered, ask the subject to take a seat and call the police. No fleeing subject should ever be chased off the client's property. Remember always give verbal commands while detaining a subject. Notify your shift supervisor in any situation force is used, Deadly force is that force a reasonable person would consider likely to cause death or serious bodily harm. Its use may be justified only under conditions of extreme necessity when all lesser means have failed or cannot reasonably be employed. Use of force spectrum: Verbal requests: "Excuse me, sir, step to the side with me." Verbal commands: "Sir, you are going to step to the side with me." Physical contact: Firmly grab subjects' elbow, the hood of coat, etc. Place your palm in the middle of the subject's back. Remember to give verbal commands always. Physical detainment (last resort): Placing the subject into hand restraints ASAP with the minimum force needed. Only agents/officers with PPC -approved training may carry handcuffs. Please remember people are watching you and may even be video recording you with a cell phone camera and site cameras; your actions will be under scrutiny. Err on the side of caution. Always act professionally.
