If there is only one CFMG staff on duty and a youth must be seen in the medical clinic, a Corrections Services Officer (CSO) will remain in the common area of the medical clinic. Additionally, if a youth is classified as a high risk, deemed a safety/security risk for potential violence or assaultive behavior toward staff, or when a safety concern or discomfort is expressed by CFMG staff dealing with a particular youth, a CSO will remain present in the medical clinic while the youth is seen.

The Grand Jury was concerned that medical staff did not have immediate access to handheld radios or a personal alarm on their uniform (FA-13). Probation has purchased and supplied medical staff with two radio holsters (image attached). This provides medical staff with a method to carry the radios on their person and have the immediate ability to activate a duress alarm.
