43
44 1. Policy:
45 11. The WCSO should strive to maintain an environment that is safe and conducive to ordinary operations.
46 11. The freedom of expression and the right to peaceful protest should be recognized and encouraged.
47 11. Employees should be able to recognize the difference between peaceful protests and unlawful acts of civil disturbances.
48 1. Rationale:
49 11. Maintaining a safe and conducive environment may help promote efficient operation of daily activities.
50 11. To prohibit or limit legal rights could place the individuals involved, PCF, and/or the WCSO in jeopardy of liability.
51 11. Employees of the WCSO need to be able to properly recognize unlawful acts of civil disturbance in order to act appropriately.
52
53 **CY 08_104 __LAWFUL PROTESTS__**
54
55 1. Policy:
56 11. Employees should monitor and allow peaceful and lawful protests conducted outside the secure facility of PCF to continue as long as they do not become unlawful (e.g., restricting traffic to or from the facility through physical or intimidation acts) or infringe upon the secure areas.
57 11. Employees should notify their direct supervisor and the Corrections Chief Deputy upon knowledge of a protest in process.
58 1. Rationale:
59 11. Lawful protests need to be monitored in order to be properly prepared for any unlawful turn in events.

61 **CY 08_105 __UNLAWFUL DISTURBANCES__**
62
63 1. Policy:
64 11. In order to prevent jeopardizing the safety or security of PCF, PCF employees should not respond to an unlawful disturbance outside the secure facility.
65 11. PCF employees should report unlawful disturbances to their direct supervisor, the Corrections Chief Deputy, and the WCSO Patrol Division on-duty supervisor. If the Patrol Division is unable to respond to the event in a timely manner, the Hurricane Police Department should be contacted to handle the situation.
66 1. Rationale:
67 11. If PCF employees responded to an incident outside the facility, a security vulnerability could be created inside the facility.
