For example, the inmate may be carrying items that could be used to perpetrate an escape, such as, but not limited to, a ladder, grappling hook, or rope, suggesting an intent to escape. An employee who determines an escape is in progress must issue a verbal warning, then fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject. (2) Multiple Perimeter Fences. At institutions secured with multiple perimeter fences, prior to using firearms, staff must reasonably believe that an inmate has the capability to escape. For example, the inmate may be carrying items such as, but not limited to, a ladder, blankets, grappling hooks, ropes, broom handles, or sticks, that will perpetrate an escape. EFTA00121917

The inmate is not required to be on the first/inner perimeter fence before the employee issues the warning.

The employee is not required to wait until the inmate is between the perimeter fences or over the first/inner fences. (3) Metropolitan Correctional Centers (MCCs) and Metropolitan Detention Centers (MDCs). When an employee reasonably determines that an escape is being attempted from a MCC or MDC, the employee should give a verbal warning. If the inmate continues, the employee may shoot the subject.

Ordinarily, firearms are not used to prevent escapes from minimum security level institutions. However, weapons are authorized when the escaping inmate has used or threatened to use force which is likely to cause serious physical injury or has manifested an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community.

Firearms will only be used against the driver or other occupants of a moving vehicle when the: e Employee has a reasonable belief that the subject poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the employee or others. e Public safety benefits of using such force outweigh the risks to the safety of the employee or others. As soon as practicable, medical attention must be provided to any persons injured during an incident involving use of firearms. Firearms wiii nar ne used if rhe emninyee recognizes a parent iad escapee as an inmate sentenced under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. a. Escape Prevention. The use of firearms is authorized when deemed necessary to prevent an escape in the following situations. (1) Perimeter Walls. At institutions secured with perimeter walls, prior to using firearms, staff must reasonably believe that an inmate has the capability to escape. For example, the inmate may be carrying items that could be used to perpetrate an escape, such as, but not limited to, a ladder, grappling hook, or rope, suggesting an intent to escape. An employee who determines an escape is in progress must issue a verbal warning, then fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject. ‘ ‘ (2) Multiple Perimeter Fences. At institutions secured with multiple perimeter fences, prior to using firearms, staff must reasonably believe that an inmate has the capability to escape. For example, the inmate may be carrying items such as, but not limited to, a ladder, blankets, grappling hooks, ropes, broom handles, or sticks, that will perpetrate an escape. EFTA00122213

--=PAGE_BREAK=--

PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 4 An employee who determines an escape is in progress must issue a verbal warning, then fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent threat danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. When authorized, throughout this policy, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to self, other staff and inmates, or the community. Warning shots will be fired into the ground and never into the air or in an indiscriminate direction. The inmate is not required to be on the first/inner perimeter fence before the employee issues the warning. When the inmate aciualiy coulacis ihe ficst/immec ver imecer fence in au attempt to climb or demonstrates an attempt to get on or over the first/inner perimeter fence, and the employee reasonably determines an escape is being attempted, the employee may shoot the subject. The employee is not required to wait until the inmate is between the perimeter fences or over the first/inner fences. (3) Metropolitan Correctional Centers (MCCs) and Metropolitan Detention Centers (MDCs). When an employee reasonably determines that an escape is being attempted from a MCC or MDC, the employee should give a verbal warning. If the inmate continues, the employee may shoot the subject. Warning shots are prohibited due to the possibility of injury to innocent bystanders. (4) Minimum Security Institutions. Ordinarily, firearms are not used to prevent escapes from minimum security level institutions. However, wedpons are authorized when the escaping inmate has used or threatened to use force which is likely to cause serious physical injury or has manifested an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots should be used when feasible. (5) Escapes with Outside Assistance. Firearms may be used against persons who are not inmates, if they are facilitating an escape and have used or threatened to use force which is likely EFTA00122214

Ps 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 5 to cause death or serious physical injury against the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots must be used when feasible. (6) Escape from Escorted Trip or Prisoner Transport. When an employee reasonably determines an escape is being attempted from an escorted trip or prisoner transport, the employee must issue a verbal warning. If the inmate continues and the escape is occurring within the immediate environs of a correctional institution, the employee will fire a warning shot, if feasible, prior to shooting the subject. Outside the immediate environs of a correctional institution, the employee should not fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject due to the possibility of injury to innocent pyetanders. Absent the use or threat of force which would likely cause serious physical injury or a manifested imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community, it is not permissible to use firearms to prevent an escape of an inmate in transit to or from a minimum security level institution. The exception to the rule is when the escorting employees are transporting inmates at the same time to a minimum and non-minimum security level institutions. (7) Once An Escape Has Occurred. After an escape from a transport vehicle or an institution, and the immediate environs has been successful, employees attempting to apprehend the escaped prisoner may not use firearms unless there is probable cause to believe: (a) The subject has committed a felony involving the infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical injury or death. : : (b) The subject’s escape would pose an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the employee or others.

The use of firearms is permissible under the escaping inmate standard. ¢ The immediate environs of an institution is defined as the property lines of the correctional facility. This boundary may be expanded by the Warden with the Regional Director's concurrence and should be defined as explicitly as possible.
