Chapter 8 – Adult Custody and Security Operations

85060.2.9 Special Procedures for Sharp Objects

• Sharp objects shall be placed in a syringe container before being placed in the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 1136-E. If the item does not fit in a syringe container, the parole agent shall wrap the object in cardboard or another material that will prevent the item from puncturing the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 1136-E. However, if the object appears to have forensic evidence (e.g., dried blood stain), the parole agent shall not wrap the object.

• The parole agent shall write “SHARP OBJECT” in large letters on the outside flap of the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 1136-E.

• If the sharp object will not fit inside the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 1136-E, the parole agent shall wrap the blade and/or sharp point with cardboard and transparent tape, and then attach a CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 1136-L in a manner that allows personnel to make entries on the “Chain of Custody” section.
