(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.
