AS 47.12.250 AS 47.14.050 Editor’s note: Effective July 1, 2022, Executive Order 121 split the former Department of Health and Social Services into the Department of Health and the Department of Family and Community Services. As of Register 242 (July 2022), the regulations attorney made conforming technical revisions under sec. 138, E.O. 121 and AS 44.62.125(b)(6), to the authority citation that follows 7 AAC 52.400 to substitute references to AS 44.30.020 and AS 47.06.010 for the former reference to AS 47.05.010. 7 AAC 52.405. Search upon admission. (a) Facility staff members shall search each juvenile for weapons or other contraband immediately upon admission to the detention facility. However, the staff may not strip search a juvenile charged with a traffic offense for one hour after the juvenile is admitted to that facility. During that hour, the juvenile may post bail, and the staff shall keep the juvenile separate from the general population of the facility. If, at the end of one hour, it is not apparent that bail will be posted imminently, the staff shall continue the admission procedure, including a strip search. If, at any time, this juvenile’s actions are a threat to the safety and security of the facility, the staff may use its discretion to strip-search the juvenile and place the juvenile in a secure room. (b) A full and complete search of the juvenile and the juvenile’s personal effects must be made to complete the admission process. The purpose of the search is to seize contraband or to ascertain the juvenile’s true identity. The staff member may require the child to undress and a more careful inspection may be made. Female staff members shall conduct searches of girls; male staff members shall conduct searches of boys. A search may be deferred while a juvenile is incapacitated.
