Which policy governs Detainee Accountability?

• A. Policy 210
• B. Policy 200
• C. Policy 608
• D. Policy 507

Answer: (B)

Maintaining an accurate count of every detainee at all times is essential for safety and security. Detainee accountability policy provides the procedures for daily counts, tracking movements, and handling discrepancies, including who performs the counts and how records are kept. This policy directly governs how we ensure every detainee is accounted for during intake, housing, transfers, and movements within the facility, as well as in emergencies. That focus makes it the best choice because it establishes the official process for keeping track of detainees and ensuring none are unaccounted for. The other policies cover different aspects of facility operations and do not set the official detainee-count procedures, so they don’t apply to this topic.
