How often should transport vehicles be searched for safety?

Transport vehicles should be searched daily and after transporting any person to ensure the safety of both officers and the individuals in custody. Daily inspections allow law enforcement personnel to identify any hazards or contraband that could pose a risk during transport. Furthermore, conducting a search after transporting a person ensures that no items were inadvertently left behind or introduced during the process. This practice is crucial for maintaining a secure environment and adhering to safety protocols. Regular inspections help in mitigating potential risks and ensuring compliance with departmental policies regarding prisoner transport.
