Includes those patients <br />awaiting forensic assessments and those transferred from OC Detention Center. <br />• If need cannot be supported in BHUC area and if allowed by regulation, space for holdover of <br />minors who cannot be transferred due to lack of beds in third-party facilities within the 23-hour <br />service interval (See Section C). <br />• Nurses station to serve and observe FBC patient rooms. <br />• Secure rooms are visually separated from other patient beds to maintain a safe and calm <br />environment for patients not requiring higher level of security. <br />E. Medical Areas <br />• Medical Examination and Treatment. Space for examination rooms and small medical staff to <br />provide “urgent care” type medical services, conduct point of service laboratory tests, and take <br />samples for analysis by outside laboratory.

Point of service testing and sample collection conducted in medical area. <br />Sample pick up by third-party laboratory courier is located at rear entrance. <br />F. Facility Security <br />• The workgroup believes security personnel located in the Facility is a necessary and reasonable. <br />To the extent that security personnel are present, keeping a low profile to maintain a calming, <br />safe environment for all patients is desirable. <br />• Locate most of security personnel away from eyes of general population entering via front <br />entrance and those in BHUC clinical areas to achieve a balance that provides safety and presents <br />a calming environment for all patients and the public. <br />• Space for Facility security personnel should be located such that security personnel can observe <br />entire space via security video and sound. <br />o For example, this may be space located adjacent to the front desk but not within the <br />front desk area. <br /> <br />3 Details about accompanying LE personnel for justice-involved individuals vs. transfer to Facility security has yet <br />to be determined. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 1920B089-58AA-4E97-8225-7BCF8DEBAAD4
