THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCE ON STRIP SEARCH
POLICY AND TRAINING ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES

Publisher: PATC Publishing

In the course of arrest law, enforcement personnel are often called upon to conduct a strip search of a person. These searches are viewed as intrusive and are subject to 4th Amendment restrictions. While these searches are an important tool for law enforcement, they remain a dramatic liability exposure for agencies and agency personnel. As such, this collection outlines the legal parameters of a valid strip search for purposes of institutional security and encourages agencies and personnel to compare this material to their own practices, policies, and training on strip searches.

Strip Search Policy and Training Resource Kit includes the following:

• Manual: "Comprehensive Analysis of Strip Searches"
  As the title suggests, you will find this to be the most comprehensive manual on strip search anywhere in the United States. The manual analyzes case law from all 11 United States Circuit Courts to help the reader shape the Strip Search policy specific to his or her circuit. The manual continues with the specific topics of the "Manner of the Strip Search", "Strip Search Substitute/Subterfuge" and "Self-Surrenders."
