Surveillance Recognition
Surveillance is required for successful terrorist planning. Experience has taught us that terrorist attacks are generally preceded by pre-operational surveillance in which terrorists gather target intelligence. Surveillance is defined as the process of keeping facilities, vehicles and persons under observation in order to obtain detailed information. Any indications of surveillance should be reported immediately to the security office of your organization and/or the police.

Officer Safety – Leg Restraint Failure
On 10-31-12, an inmate in the custody of the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office voluntarily demonstrated to staff, how he could remove his leg restraints, defeating the security features. The inmate stood with one foot forward and the other toward the back. The inmate’s feet were offset and the security chain of the cuffs was fully extended and tight. The inmate moved his right foot back and kicked it forward which released the single bar cuff mechanism. The inmate stepped on the released cuff, and used the same technique to release the other cuff.
Several different leg restraints were used, all of which the inmate was able to defeat and free himself. Custody Staff was able to use the same technique demonstrated by the inmate, also freeing themselves from the leg restraints.
All leg restraints used during the demonstration by the inmate and custody staff were secured with a minimum of three engagement teeth and double in.
The leg restraints used were:
Peerless Handcuff Co. Model 703 Serial Numbers 237093 & 237061
Smith & Wesson Model 1900-1 Serial Number 288645 & 819014
