The presence of contraband in a division for youth facility and its possession or use by residents or staff threatens the security of the facility and endangers the safety of residents, employees, volunteers and the community. Introduction or possession of contraband in a facility is a violation of law and violators may be prosecuted. Division employees attempting to introduce contraband or in possession of contraband may be subject to both prosecution and disciplinary action. A sound security program requires routine, periodic, and special searches of all persons entering the facility.
