What type of information must be disclosed by the escorting officer to detention facility personnel?

The escorting officer must disclose any information regarding an arrestee’s combative or suicidal tendencies to detention facility personnel because this information is crucial for the safety and security of both the detainee and the staff at the facility. Understanding whether an individual may pose a threat to themselves or others can significantly impact how the facility manages and accommodates the arrestee upon arrival.

This type of disclosure ensures that appropriate precautions are taken, such as monitoring the individual closely, providing necessary mental health support, or placing them in a secure environment if needed. The objective is to prevent self-harm or harm to others and to facilitate an effective and safe processing of the arrestee into the detention system.

While relevant medical history may also be significant, it is not as critical as the immediate assessment of the individual’s current behavior and mental state related to safety concerns. Other options, such as confidential financial information or just disclosing the name, do not address the urgent need for safety and do not contribute to the facility's preparedness for handling the arrestee appropriately.
