63 <br /> Detention Center Staffing Analysis Orange County, NC <br /> 4. Intake and Release Processes <br /> As part of this engagement, the project team committed to process diagramming the <br /> intake and release processes of the Detention Center. As part of the onsite visit and staff <br /> interviews, the project team interviewed several staff (Detention Officers, Corporals, and <br /> Sergeants) about these two processes. Staff were asked to walk through the sequential <br /> steps of both processes. Based on several conversations it was clear that there was no <br /> formal approach and steps for these processes. Corporals and Sergeants had varying <br /> degrees of understanding of the respective processes and did not identify key <br /> components in the process. Examples that were left out of the process included finger <br /> printing and photographing the arrestee during intake and verifying the court <br /> documentation for release. Due to these challenges, the project team was unable to <br /> capture the current processes to the degree needed to outline them. The following <br /> sections provide an overview of general intake and release processes that can be used <br /> by the County for future policy and procedure documentation development. <br /> ,iecommenueu intake r�rocess <br /> The following steps should be used as an outline for the intake process for the OCDC. <br /> This process starts once the arresting officer is ready to transfer custody of the arrestee <br /> to the Jail. <br /> 1 .
