       • Members who are transporting prisoners are considered to be working at the prison.

     • The ratio of LEO members + Fire members to Civilians

       • Mathematically this is (LEO + Fire) / Civilians

         • For example if there are 5 total LEOs, 5 Fire, and 5 Civs the calculation is (5+5)/5 or 2.

       • This is referred to as a civ ratio below.

3. Based on the information determined in element 2 correctional services will operation in one of the following modes:

   • • Mode 1: Active correctional services members under 3 and civ ratio is over 3.

Mode 1: 600 seconds (10 minutes)
