Prisoner Transport
The Prisoner Transport topic area gives COs the training and tools they need to safely complete the unique mission of transporting an inmate from one facility to another. The task can be one of the most dangerous periods of time for the officers charged with that duty, as subjects often see the ride as their last, best chance for escape.

The CO deployed his TASER, but when it failed to subdue the inmate, he subsequently fired his duty weapon, the Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office said
Multiple vehicles struck the van at a toll booth and assailants fired “heavy weapons” to aid the escape before fleeing with the prisoner, killing two COs
The incidents led to a new department policy that Tasers could not be used on inmates who had been handcuffed or otherwise subdued
