Every law enforcement agency, regardless of size, needs to transport prisoners from correctional facilities to courthouses, medical facilities, prisons, and other locations. Ensuring the safety and security of both prisoners and the officers transporting them is critical.
Officers could be transporting male, female, and juvenile inmates, as well as prisoners with physical disabilities or those who are wheelchair-bound. In one trip, they may find themselves transporting dangerous prisoners alongside individuals charged with minor nonviolent offenses.
Maintaining control of prisoners in a controlled institutional setting is challenging, but it can be especially problematic during transport. Many prisoners may be desperately seeking opportunities to escape, while others may misbehave, endangering the safety of correctional officers, other prisoners, and even themselves.
