(a)Minor matters of discipline, where no danger of safety, property or life exists, shall be handled in such a manner as to attract as little attention as possible to the incident.
(b)Officers shall not strike or lay hands on a prisoner unless it be in self defense, to prevent escape or serious injury to person or property, to quell a disturbance, or to effect detention. In such cases, only the amount of physical force necessary to accomplish the desired result is authorized.
(c)Some type of restraining equipment, e.g., jacket or sheets, should be available for use in emergencies and under the direction of trained personnel and competent medical authority. In such instances, full time supervision shall be provided and further action determined by a physician.
(d)The use of chemical agents such as tear gas to control or reduce a prisoner to submission shall be used only when other restraint methods or efforts to subdue have not proven effective. Authority shall first be obtained from a supervisory or command officer and the chemical agent shall be used only by staff personnel who have been trained in its use.
