Resources to help manage critical incidents
4 phases of transport
Prepare for transport
During the transport
During the appointment
Return to the facility
what procedures need to be made when an inmate escapes during transport
3 parts of the human brain
Neo Cortex (Human Brain) Thinking brain
Limbic System (Mammal Brain) feeling brain
Basal Ganglia (Lizard Brain) survival brain
What are the SSTOPCC
S – Safe
S – Systematic
T – Thorough
O – Objective
P – Professional
C – Consistent
C – Curious
What is Physio-psychological responses to Critical Incidents-
Time distortion
Perception difficulties
Tunnel vision
Auditory exclusion
Partial/total blindness
Fugue
Denial response
When conducting a one-on-one transport where does the inmate sit in the vehicle?
The passenger rear
What is the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs?
Self-Actualization: Person’s potential, personal growth
Esteem: Dignity
Belonging: Motivates behavior/ social aspect to have a sense of belonging
Security: protection/ safety
Physiological: food, water, shelter
Stages the brain goes to sleep in
3 types of contraband
Dangerous, nondangerous, nuisance
Physical Responses to Critical Incidents –
What is the procedure for preparing for a transport (5)
How does the Limbic system respond to problem solving?
Rushed time frame/ limited options/ faster pace
What is Neo Cortex responsible for?
(language of thought and verbal expression)
Language, abstract thought, imagination, consciousness, reasoning, rationalizing
Give an example of dangerous, non-dangerous and nuisance contraband
Dangerous Contraband
Guns, bullets, knives, shanks, edged weapons, clubs, chemicals, lighter, explosive compounds, wires, tools, cutting instruments.

what types of contraband can lead to critical incidents and what are those incidents?
Gambling – fights

Drugs – overdose
Matches/lighters – fire
Weapons – assaults homicide
What are the procedures taken during the transport?
How does the Basal Ganglia respond to problem solving?
Immediate/ extreme consequences for delay/ Options now limited to only 2

(Language of emotion and feeling tones)
Emotions, memories, habits, attachments
Detection methods to prevent contraband
-Person searches (reason for person searches: injury or medical issues, contraband, weapons, or other criminal evidence)
Pat/Frisk

-Cell Searches (reasons for cell searches: safety and hygiene, maintenance, locate contraband)
-Area searches
-Vehicle searches
Define Critical Incident

What are the values for each part of the brain (3)?
T-Ideal Values (Neo Cortex)
F-Practical Driving Values (Limbic System)
S- Aversion (Basal Ganglia)
What is the Basal Ganglia responsible for?
(Language of body sensations and impulses?
Autopilot, Fight & Flight
Methods of entry for contraband
