Chapter 6 – Adult Classification

62090.6.4.6 Religious or Cultural Items

• Attendees are permitted to wear their head covering including those who wish to keep their faces covered during the screening process. If the attendee cannot successfully pass through the metal detector, the attendee will be re-screened using hand-wands and a pat-down search as described above. The only exception to this policy is if the alarm is still unresolved, the attendee may request the opportunity to remove the head covering in a private screening area before custody staff of the same gender to clear security.

• Religious, cultural, or ceremonial items that pose a risk to the safety of staff or the security of institutions, such as religious knives, swords, etc., are not permitted inside the institution.
