Allow non-POST Correctional Officers access to PRMY

,

I believe non-POST certified COs should be given access to the PRMY radio channel in order to request aid from Law Enforcement or FD if needed. Personally, I don’t see why they don’t in the first place as public employees such as DPW and DOT have access, but COIIs who deal with violent felons, occasional break ins, medical calls, etc. don’t have access. The amount of times where COIIs are alone on duty and have no way of contacting LEOs or FD because they are on PRMY shouldn’t happen at all. It is not safe, nor reliable to expect COIIs to rely on COI+ to contact relevant resources if necessary.

An anecdotal experience from recently, I had a violent inmate cause harm to myself and another inmate. The inmate requested medical attention, but unfortunately I had to deny their request because all medical personnel where on PRMY and not SCFD (I at least get access to that). Eventually I caught them in SCFD while they were on a call and requested medical but by that time the inmate was released in the middle of the RP scene.

So instead of calling 911 on your phone for a injured inmate, you decided to just give up because you didn’t have access to a radio channel? Gang are you serious?

LMAO they would instantly get memed for calling 911 as someone on duty

they should be allowed to use PRMY. Why is it that FAA can access PRMY even though COII cant? FAA is not post cert req but they can still acces prmy

I’m not saying they shouldn’t be able to. I’m just saying ignoring the situation instead of just using what you have access to in the moment is insane.

Well since I’ve made this post I’ve actually been told by superiors that non-POST are advised against conducting medical RP alone and I should’ve told him to just reset. That’s even more disappointing of an answer then y’all clowning on me for not using my phone.
