Greetings from the UK. Good video however, the floor was not checked. Using a batton, run it up and down the floor especially in areas like under the bed, sink/toilet. You will either bump over a hidden item/letter or sense it move. Now you may think I'm joking about prisoners hiding stuff in this manner but I'm not. I'm a ex-con. It works. I have used it. I have officers stood directly on top of camouflaged items. Like I said at the start its a good video. I don't think he missed anything. I thought he was going to miss the light but nope! He got it. Peace and Love to you all. Stay Safe.

Great video!!! I won't get the chance to do a cell search in the academy I'm in due to the 4th of July holiday. Now I feel a little more confident. Thank you sir.

Thanks! My agency did not teach us cell searchers. I sadly had to come to YT to find out. Thanks again

Excellent video. Thank you for the instruction, from a new hire.

Well done. Another really good presentation. Thank you.

Thank you very much Michael, I will tell officer Hively he will appreciate it

Excellent demonstration of a nearly ideal cell search. Sadly, in past years at my unit, so much hooch was getting brewed, that it became de facto practise to dump and flush. My own record for a cell brewery was approx. 20 gallons. Twice found 10 gallon water coolers full of hooch, ready for distribution. Friend of mine found approx. 80 gallons in a mattress liner under the lower bunk. Our rank told us to write the case, calling it "unknown liquid smelling strongly of alcohol ". Wasn't happy about it, but we had nowhere to keep the found hooch. More recently, K2 has virtually replaced hooch, making things even worse. We DO confiscate and pass along "green, leafy substances" when found.

We missed the camera! LOl. Mike is good with placement of cameras. Thank you Mingo!

Gary, Very informative and educational. Thank you very much

Great video Gary, I did notice a camera under the bed.

When I conduct a cell search there’s always a lot of property in the cell.

Fantastic

Thank you Loud in Proud

Very good video. Thank you!

Big 10-4 on doing a careful pat search on prisoners before starting a cell search. One dude tried to walk away from me, and duck around the D-space. I followed, not letting him get out of sight and called my sergeant to head him off from the opposite direction. When we got him stopped, and had him lift his hands, the metallic clatter of the shiv that fell out of his shorts onto the concrete between the three of us . . . Ummm . . . Piqued our interest you might say. I "politely requested" that he strip. He tried to stammer and Buck, when a second shiv dropped on the floor. My second "request" was less polite, and MIGHT have suggested long term hospitalization if anything other than total and immediate compliance with the order to strip was forthcoming. We got -7- shivs from this guy. SEARCH THEM !!

Great training video. As a new supervisor, great information to pass on to my officers and reinforces things that I'm doing now. A suggestion, if not done already, maybe a video on properly pat searching an inmate for contraband. Thanks for all that you do for our profession.

You had to repeat 5 times that you should not flush evidence :p That makes me think there are a lot of guards really bad at their job.

Very informative thanks for sharing

Real good explanation guys keep up the good work

Especially if the prisoners have a cell with bricks then check for loose bricks because prisoners will carve out bricks with spoons. Also make the prisoner take off the shoes and socks because prisoners are hiding things. Its best to make the strip search a prisoner and look instead the butt.

Should Add more echo....who mics up people in 2019 anyhow...

When I was 8n jail, my very first time searching for my body again again... and in jail, they were all tight me like one kind of mental institute.... and very physically forceful even though following exactly as they have told.... Simply, never can communicate with them as reasonable.... it has to be hurtful physically.... regardless what they say or what they do.... And emotionally, such humiliated.... No matter what....
