When should the body alarm be worn?

The body alarm should be worn at all times to ensure maximum safety and security within the facility. This practice allows for immediate response in case an officer encounters a situation that requires assistance, whether it's a medical emergency, a security breach, or an altercation with inmates. By having the alarm readily accessible and activated consistently, it enhances communication and coordination among staff members, enabling them to respond swiftly to potential threats or emergencies.

Wearing the body alarm continuously also acts as a deterrent to inmates, as they are aware that officers can easily call for backup if needed. This promotes a safer environment not only for the staff but for the inmates as well. Having the body alarm during specific times or in certain areas could lead to delays in emergency response or create vulnerable situations for officers when they might need immediate support.
